Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review about the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq:- The Lyriq is an all-electric luxury crossover.
- It competes with BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, Audi Q8 e-tron, and Tesla's Model X.
- There are three trim levels: Tech, Luxury, and Sport. Each offers three tiers within them. The Tech starts around $62,000. The fully loaded all-wheel-drive Luxury is about $75,000, and a sport version will top out at about $77,000.
- All trims offer the same exterior styling.
- The exterior is futuristic without being too weird.
- Multiple lighting elements, including blinkers, daytime running lights, headlights, and a grill that lights up in different patterns depending on whether the car is plugged in or locked.
- The Luxury 3 trim has 22-inch alloy wheels.
- The charge door opens with the Cadillac logo and closes with a button.
- The door handles pop out when the car is unlocked and fold flush when locked or driving.
- The taillight signature starts at the back and goes around the rear of the car.
- There is no rear wiper.
- The rear hatch opens when you push the Cadillac logo.
- There is no frunk, just plastic.
- There are two powertrains: rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
- The rear-wheel drive has 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, with a range of 314 miles.
- The all-wheel-drive version has 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, with a 307-mile range.
- The battery is 102 kWh.
- The car has fast charging up to 190 kW, which is good but not great.
- The interior is fantastic and luxurious with soft leather, matte wood, and brushed metal accents.
- The car is comfortable with great seats and a commanding view of the road.
- The interior has a 33-inch screen.
- There are physical buttons for climate control.
- This model has Google built-in, with Google Maps, the Google store, and Google apps.
- The wireless Apple CarPlay shrinks the usable screen real estate.
- There is a rotary knob and buttons for the key functions on the screen.
- There is dual-zone climate control in the back with a couple of USB-C ports.
- The cargo space is smaller than most of its rivals, at 28 cubic feet, but the split 60/40 rear seats fold flat.
- In terms of driving dynamics, the review is mixed.
- There is a lot of power in the Lyriq.
- It's a serene, quiet driving experience.
- The suspension feels oddly tuned; it floats too much on the freeway.
- The steering is vague.
- There is an exterior light in the glove department.
