EV Channels Review
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq marks a significant turning point for the brand, representing Cadillac's electric future. The reviewer praises its luxurious and quiet interior, highlighting the expansive 33-inch curved LCD display and comfortable seating. The ride quality is a standout, described as exceptionally composed and smooth, a departure from firmer competitors and even other Cadillacs, offering a serene highway cruising experience. The exterior styling is noted for its distinctive, modern design, particularly the unique lighting elements. Positives include the impressive ride, quiet cabin, and advanced Super Cruise system (though not enabled on the tested pre-production model). However, the vehicle's heft impacts acceleration and braking compared to lighter rivals. The reviewer also notes that all 2023 models are accounted for, pushing reservations into the 2024 model year, with pricing for which is yet to be fully detailed. Despite minor packaging inefficiencies due to its long hood design, the Lyriq is positioned as a strong contender in the luxury EV market, balancing traditional Cadillac luxury with modern electric innovation.
