- It is a luxury Ultium in the GM lineup.
- It is a Cadillac, first and foremost.
- The design is a crossover.
- The torque figure of 600 is in Newton meters, translating to closer to 440-450 pound-feet.
- It is not all about performance; it is not trying to be a sports car, nor is it trying to set zero-to-60 records.
- The car, as tested, is around $78,000, including destination, but not taxes/rebates.
- The door handles are nice and always work.
- The front seats, "thrones," are comfortable and have speakers in the headrests, part of a 19-speaker AKG system.
- The vehicle has massage seats.
- There's a lot of space in the back, making it seem like a livery vehicle.
- The car has USB-Cs and a 12-volt plug in the back.
- It has great ergonomic controls for rear passenger A/C.
- In the rear, there is a kick sensor because this one has the Tech package, which opens the rear hatch.

- The ride is exceptional, and the vehicle is well insulated and quiet.
- Handling-wise, it falls apart slightly because it doesn't feel very sporty.
- Some things noted during the drive is that range diminishes with highway speeds above 75mph and that the ride is very comfortable.
- Not all the charging stations are working and the cost, while connected, was $18 and counting.
- Cadillac seemed to have muddled their brand when they started building the performance vehicles with a great engine and now are back to true north making it comfort and luxury.
- It is on the right track with proper engineering.
- This car is very smooth on the highway and very good at handling the pavement.
- A lot of attention to detail was made when designing this vehicle.
- There is limited use of apple maps.
- There are also no creaks in the dashboard.
