2025 CADILLAC LYRIQ: SPACIOUS, COMFY, LUXURY CROSSOVER FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ is presented as a comfortable, quiet, and spacious luxury EV crossover, building on the foundation of the 2023 model with incremental updates. The reviewer highlights the smooth and quiet ride, attributing it to the EV platform and long wheelbase, though notes that the larger 22-inch wheels (standard on Sport 3) can detract slightly from ride quality over larger bumps compared to the available 20-inch wheels. Performance is described as smooth acceleration rather than outright sportiness, with 515 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque available for quick bursts. The interior receives praise for its luxurious materials, ample space, and standard features like wireless charging, Google built-in, and memory seats. However, the reviewer expresses a dislike for the glossy black single-button controls on the steering wheel and center console, finding them less premium than individual buttons. Charging is noted as adequate, with a 190 kW max DC fast charge rate achieving 80% in 45 minutes, and home charging options up to 19.2 kW. The standout feature for the reviewer is the Super Cruise hands-free driving system, lauded for its communication and effectiveness. Overall, the LYRIQ is recommended as a strong contender in the luxury crossover segment, particularly for those who can charge at home, with the Level 2 trim being a suggested sweet spot.
