A self-driving car has to do more than know where it is going. It has to understand what is happening around it, anticipate what could happen next, and make decisions when the situation changes faster than expected. In that sense,…
Alexa St. John And Mike Householder WARREN, Mich. – At the General Motors Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, in suburban Detroit, hundreds of volunteer, real-world drivers have hopped inside a Cadillac Lyriq electric vehicle or other popular GM models and…
The Cadillac Lyriq was the car that had to prove Cadillac could be an electric brand. Revealed as a concept and then launched for the 2023 model year, it was the first Cadillac built on GM's Ultium battery platform, and it carried the weight of a company that had announced it would eventually sell only electric cars. Its design did a lot of the convincing: a low, fastback silhouette, a glowing black-panel grille and slender vertical lighting that made it look like nothing else on the road.
Inside, the Lyriq introduced a wide curved display, a calm and well-crafted cabin and a level of refinement that critics found impressive for a first effort. Rear-drive and all-wheel-drive versions offered respectable range and quiet, effortless performance, while the Lyriq-V added a punchier dual-motor setup for buyers who want their electric Cadillac to sprint. Early buyers dealt with software glitches and delivery delays, typical growing pains for a brand-new platform, and some reviewers found the ride firmer than expected on big wheels.
The Lyriq is built in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and sold in North America, China and select markets abroad, where Cadillac has struggled to build momentum against German and Chinese competition. It competes with the Tesla Model Y and Model X, BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, Genesis GV70 Electrified, Audi Q8 e-tron, Lexus RZ and Volvo electric SUVs. Now joined by the smaller Optiq and larger Vistiq, it sits at the center of Cadillac's electric lineup.
The Lyriq's ongoing story is told through software and charging updates, pricing moves and incentives, Lyriq-V performance tests, recall notices and sales results, all set against Cadillac's recalibrated electric ambitions. Electric-vehicle policy, tax-credit changes and charging-network news matter here too, since they shape what a Lyriq costs and how easily it travels. Long-term owner reports are starting to show how the first electric Cadillac ages, which may be the most useful reading of all for anyone shopping a used one.
Cadillac's first electric vehicle, a sleek two-row Ultium SUV that kicked off the brand's EV era, now joined by the high-performance Lyriq-V.
