THE 2023 CADILLAC LYRIQ IS CADILLAC’S ELECTRIC LUXURY SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq represents Cadillac's ambitious entry into the electric luxury SUV market. Doug DeMuro highlights its striking design, particularly the unique lighting elements and illuminated grille, and praises the luxurious interior with high-quality materials and a massive 33-inch curved display. The reviewer commends the comfortable and quiet ride, positioning it as a relaxed cruiser rather than a performance vehicle. However, DeMuro notes several quirks, including unusual door openers, the glove box controlled via the screen, and the inability to activate Super Cruise during his testing. While the rear-wheel-drive model offers a respectable 300+ mile range and 340 horsepower, an upcoming all-wheel-drive version promises more power. Despite its luxury appointments and competitive pricing against rivals like the BMW iX and Audi e-tron, the Lyriq's focus on comfort over sportiness and some usability quirks might not appeal to all buyers.
