PLOT TWIST: THE CADILLAC LYRIQ SURPRISES US ALL!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport 3 AWD delivers a surprisingly impressive daily driving experience, exceeding the reviewer's initial expectations. The dual-motor setup provides potent acceleration (0-60 mph under 4.5 seconds) and confident handling, aided by a low center of gravity thanks to the EV platform. The interior is lauded for its premium feel, exceptional AKG sound system, comfortable seating with heating, cooling, and massage functions, and a well-integrated Google-based infotainment system. However, the reviewer notes some drawbacks, including redundant touch controls, a lack of a prominent volume knob, a slightly too-light haptic feedback on steering wheel controls, and the turn signal indicators being obscured by the steering wheel rim. The ride quality is described as firm for a Cadillac, with more road intrusion than expected, though the sporty calibration is appreciated. The reviewer also suggests a quicker steering rack would be beneficial for parking and overall handling. Despite these points, the Lyriq is highly recommended for its overall comfort, luxury, and enjoyable driving dynamics, making it a top contender in its segment.
