Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the review of the Cadillac Lyriq:- The Cadillac Lyriq has a "sinister" and "cool" exterior design, especially in black.
- The front of the vehicle includes slender accent lights, lower headlights, and an illuminated grill with a "welcome" lighting pattern.
- It has 22-inch wheels, body lines with fenders, and a power-operated charge port door.
- The rear of the vehicle features lighting elements that take up most of the C or D pillar, as well as vertical lights, and is an homage to Cadillac's fins.
- The interior has much metal, leather, and wood, with soft, comfortable seats that are a departure from past Cadillac seats.
- There's a 33-inch curved display; in the Sport 3 trim, the seats have heating and cooling.
- The reviewer appreciates the metal, the knurling around the buttons, and a simple lumber massage function.
- The reviewer found it to be annoying that one needs to fully stop the vehicle to see an exact battery percentage.
- The lack of physical buttons for drive modes is a downside.
- There are some wireless CarPlay connectivity issues on a few occasions.
- This vehicle's all-wheel drive is estimated at 307 miles of range.
- Over 100 miles, efficiency is rated at 2.2 miles per kWh, which was a bit low for some other vehicles.
- Overall, the Lyriq is described as a very quiet and smooth ride that is nicely relaxed. The steering requires more input to turn in sport mode.
- The all-wheel-drive Lyriq has a starting price of about $62,000, and fully loaded it is about $77,000. It is priced lower than the Acura ZDX and the Audi Q8 e-tron. The Q8 e-tron is over $81,000.
