2023 Cadillac LYRIQ Review // A Mercedes In Disguise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2023
- The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq ($69,830 starting in Canada, $58,590 in the US) is the first all-electric vehicle from Cadillac and it aims to demonstrate the future direction of their vehicles. The Lyriq sends 340 horsepower and 325 lb ft of torque to the rear wheels and has a claimed range of 505 km (314 miles) in base form. An even more powerful AWD trim is available, but it has slightly less range. In terms of interior luxury, the Lyriq also has a massive 33 inch display, an optional 19 speaker AKG sound system and GM Super Cruise capability. But how does Cadillac’s first foray into the EV space hold up against the competition? And is it worth the price tag? We hope you enjoy the episode! Subscribe!

And the Oscar goes to: Thomas Holland, for his incredibly believable performance in LYRIQ: A Mercedes in Disguise.
Zendaya will be so proud
Technically it would be a Emmy
that was so funny, but it could happen in real life
The intro’s funny, but it’s also making a really good point about accessibility and a general industry failure to do a decent job.
Love these guys seems like they really give an unbiased opinion even if the company gave them the press car! 😂
No kidding. I found it funny too, even as someone who carries an Epi-pen for a food allergy. Making stuff "fancy" for the sake of doing so and losing accessibility in times of emergency is something we could do without.
Yep, absolutely this. Modern cars are contradictory when it comes to safety. Brilliant crash and pedestrian protection - at the expense of weight and design variance - but then you have to use idiotic screens with a million sub menus. All that while trying to handle increasingly mental power outputs in ‘cars’ the size of Western Europe and with multiple elephants in the room.
It makes no sense. Right, rant over.
This what we get when the Playstation-generation is designing cars. More stuff = better.
Everyone is chasing Tesla ideals.
James' analogy regarding the first cars looking like carriages and all is the perfect way to explain EVs with grills. He described it so brilliantly and with so many less words than I'd be able to.
Lyriq is the best execution of a fake grill I've seen, but they're really unnecessary and honestly speak to just how risk-free and afraid car companies are.
Many EV front ends, Kia's, just remind me of when Mr Anderson has his mouth glued shut by Agent Smith. Fake and stupid
it makes sense for them to be riskfreea and afraid. they're investing hundreds of millions into their new car with the hopes that the customer will like it. should they stick with the OG designs? the ones that are proven to be likeable by consumers? or should they risk it all and make something like how BMW did with the M3 grille?
Or it speaks to how dumb and resistant to change we as consumers are. People like the fake grills. I like them
@@mateuszwolak7506you are on point. I don't think car manufacturers are in love with them, but we, the consumers very much are. I still think that there is visually something missing between the lights off Teslas. But it doesn't mean that I like these fake thingies, either, I'm looking especially at you two, Lyriq and Ioniq 5. I dunno what there should be, but nothing looks weird and stupid shit just looks stupid and shitty. Not by much, I could live with both of those two, but they are just.... Trying too much. They are so "radical" and "out there". In the end, both are like graphic designs and details of 80's, there really is a lot of similarity. And they aged really well...
still, people who likes cars (the majority buyers of good cars) wont accept these dumb boring useless electric cars, and they should not ever, electric cars are for babies with no sense
This felt like a… highly produced episode of Extra Throttle House with you guys in the car together 😂 Love this format for these types of cars
Only Thomas would think “garlic sauce” was a brand name 😂
Considering I've ordered things, twice at this point, from large chains that stated garlic sauce but which did not in fact have any garlic in them he's not far off.
It’s not garlic sauce, it’s garliq (TM) sauce
@@IlyaKaniswell played
thanks for spoiling it
@archismarathe1589 its the first like 30 seconds of the video why do you go to the comments immediately expecting to not get spoiled?
Never stop with the amazing intros guys 🤣
One of the best intros y’all have done. I hope the manufacturers watch this and understand the mistakes they are doing
It would be nice, but I'm sure they really don't care.
A guy at my job had one of these as a loaner and they look absolutely amazing on the inside and that sound system is something to just have to hear to believe!
Agree this looks good and much better than the weird competition. I just wish they would stop over complicating things like doors. It's so incredibly easy and intuitive to open a mechanical door in 1 smooth motion.
They’re bringing actual door handles for 2024, GM confirmed.
Good news is, enough people called them out on how stupid these doors are so the lyriq now comes with actual door handles.
@@B4R0N.what about current owners? Do they get new doors?
@@KittRembo as far as i'm aware, they're S.O.L.
nope, as of the 2024 deliveries so far they all have updated handles. The handle pops out now like a tesla@@KittRembo
This is the show that fills the Top-Gear sized hole in our hearts... and they do a DAMN good job. I'd argue "better" in many instances.
❤❤❤
Throttle House and Car Trek have been scratching that itch for me for awhile now. Glad at least TH is still posting regularly 🥴
@@BobBob-et9ioalthough I've watched all the Car Trek's, it feels even more scripted than TG was, while not being even remotely funny. TH's road trip was FAR better than any of the Car Trek ones.
Eh. Throttle house has a better technical review of the cars, but it's also pretty obvious what they value in them and the reviews become predictable, which is ok.
In terms of antics, personality and ability to present, the trio of TG is still far, far ahead. Clarkson could review a goddamn toaster and I would find it hilarious. I can't say the same for the guys at TH, and I love them.
Let's just say I don't miss Richard Hammond anymore when I watch these videos.
“What color Mach E would you get” got me 💀
James could have been a fantastic First Responder. The way he kept his cool while James was slowly dying. Amazing. 👏
I’m sure one of those names should be different… His name is “And I’m James” isn’t it??
That’s me in the ICU
@@BigfootDubs Huh? James was eating his food like a boss, and Thomas was succumbing to his allergy like a weakling.
I like a front grill look like you said, even when no longer needed with EVs. Helps to break it up and add style. Manufacturers should keep adding these, but evolve and improve it to use a material that won't get road rash and look bad after 5 years.
I can see it evolving to becoming another screen to flash "fuck you" messages to people who cut you off in the future.
I find that stupid. Grills are for people so resistant to anything new that they‘d have gone extinct if natural selection was still a thing

Also that glove box is an absolute deal breaker for me, probably the definitive example of adding tech for the sake of adding tech
Wonder how many more cars will crash in the future while distracted trying to complete a over complicated task that use to consist of pushing a physical button 😮
“The glove box is a deal breaker for me” said no one ever.
@@JackSmith-qi7dr dude, read the top comment. Someone said it literally just 2 hours ago.....
Off my radar now. Too many things not thought thru before coming to market. Genesis GV60 seems a better choice.
@@afr1952I'm sorry. You'll have to return to the home screen before this comment can be added to the records
just got our 2024 Lyriq one of the first in Canada very nice been loving in 1 month we have already reached over 5000km it has been a great drive except minor apple car play issues.
My university amongst others gets one of these to basically strip it down and reverse engineer it, from the manufacturing to the coding. Really excited because I like this car alot and did not imagine getting a Lyriq specifically to break down and learn
The intro 🤣🤣🤣 immaculate
It's been revealed, Thomas is a vampire.
'That's dumb!" Love the straightforward honesty.
One min in… I pause the video and click like.. I don’t even care about the car review anymore(I’ll still watch it ofc) but the epi pen bit*chefs kiss* pure gold!!
I think it’s the best looking of the EV crossovers, I absolutely love it.
Your glasses are so thick that when you look on a map you can see people waving.
Ya know, there were also people that thought the Edsel was a great looking Sedan. And think the production Cybertruck looks good. To each their own I guess.
I agree. I’m not buying a luxury SUV to blend in with everyone else. This thing is gorgeous but most importantly uniqueZ
For once someone has made an EV vehicle with an interior that still has some visual emotion left in it and doesn't look like something out of the Jetsons!
it looks like car s i drew aged 6
@@PazLeBonjust say u broke lil bro 😂
@@piercelawless2654God I hate when people say shit like this. I drive a ZL1 and think this looks awful. Gonna call me broke? Retard.
Volvo/Polestar? Audi? Just asking.
If by EV you only look at tesla and newer companies
Hilarious Intro! Well done guys.
James's comment "It's a lovely place to be...just don't press on anything too hard." Pretty much sums it up. I remember when Car & Driver first tested this and said it was a luxury bargain. This e-car market is moving really fast.
I can't imagine what it would cost to replace one of those headlight assemblies. Brilliant review as always! Keep up the great work!
Total loss😅
I long for the days of a true sedan. These crossovers are for the birds.
Same.
I long for the days that weight advantages are defeated making cars just as safe as SUVS when the two get into a crash with each other…
@@faheemabbas3965suvs arent more safe really than plain sedans or wagons and also they are less reliable in corners as well as breaking distance. Suvs are for birds as well
I have one.
I like how it whistles as it drives along. Most evs generate either no sound or something thats just annoying to hear. But this one, not bad. Looks great too
Love all your intros! Super hilarious! I love your channel I watch you videos everyday ! Thank you both so much !
Another funtastic review with great editing. Love this show!
At the end he essentially just named the Blazer EV SS that supposed to be coming out.
My business partner has a Mach E and I have driven it many times and I would 100% get this over the Mach E. The Lyriq looks premium inside and out, not the same class of vehicle at all.
Yeah I don’t know why they continuously kept comparing this with Mach E and Ionic. It would have made sense if they did with offerings from Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, or even Tesla.
@@ws1814 Bizarre comparison, like comparing an Escalade to an Expedition. lol
Customers considering this Cadillac probably aren’t cross shopping with the Mustang or Ioniq, because they are looking for that premium look and feel. However, the comparison is interesting anyway when talking about driving dynamics, build quality, ergonomics, daily usability, etc. Might make a buyer question what they are really getting for the extra money.
@@michaelguthardt327crazy how this cheaper too
I think its a fair comparison. With EV lines of cars now there is really becoming a lot less areas of things that these “premium” car brands can claim to justify their pricing. EV pretty much have the same power (or they all have enough that it becomes unnecessary to need more), as they claimed the suspensions/steering/torque/etc are completely comparable. Being an EV the interiors are probably comparably quite. They have comparable tech options. The only thing i noticed that had the an iqonic wouldnt is massaging seats. So if Cadillac/BMW/Mercedes want to charge $20000-30000 premiums still, what is it they are offering to justify it? Idk about you, but i think they will start losing alot of customers if its just interior materials and “feel”. Im sure a good segment of their customer base still sees 20k as alot more money they could put elsewhere

Keep doing this you deserve way more!
you guys crack me up! my favorite channel for automotive info and hilarity!
I have absolutely no interest in buying any EV, yet here I am watching a review of one. It’s all because of you guys! You don’t do reviews you do proper entertainment. Thank you.
You should maybe rethink that, you’ll save money and time………I wake up in the morning and the car is charged for Pennys and nerver have to go to a gas station change any fluids or check them and maintenance besides tires is almost non existent, I’m still riding in the same brake pads 4 plus years and they’re just now at half way down😳, and you will absolute kill ice vehicles at the stoplights………there’s almost zero upside to an ice vehicle besides the sound if you’re into making noises while getting your ass handed to you! 😆🤷🏽♂️
@@dennissmith7214 For a daily driver, I agree. For fun and excitement and stirring up passion, you can't beat an ICE vehicle. 0-60 isn't everything.
@@04m6gto Sooooooooo for 95% of driving then gotcha😆🤦🏽♂️, for that 5% I jump on my zx14………..5 % of the time for an ice vehicle is pathetic!
@@dennissmith7214 The obscenely grotesque ZX-14 is an ICE vehicle, Chief.
@@04m6gtoi disagree
I test drove one of these at a marketing event and loved it, but wasn't in the market to buy. This year I was in the market, but the dealership said it would take 22 MONTHS to get a Lyriq with SuperCruise. Not to mention an awful dealership experience, maybe because I was under 30 and not wearing a suit. Ended up getting a Model Y. ID.4 was also a very close competitor, probably would have gone with that if it weren't for the Electrify America/ NACS news.
Throttle House is so good I just sat through a 20 min review of a C teir car, and enjoyed it.
Throttle house is so funny every video makes my day😂❤
Amazing review amazing video good job guys big fan of your work from Europe.
Would love you guys to go back a review an EV you already have but in winter conditions to see how much of an affect the weather has on range.
I'm sure they know about shrinkage.
Have they ever tested range on a vehicle?
I initially thought the intro was dumb but you won me over with your Oscar worthy performance, plus I love when a point is well made. A++.
Love the innovative doorhandles!!! ❤
😂”the steering is like a rolling civics lesson in inertia”😂
I like the way it looks honestly. Still super expensive but it does look cool. Great review as always Gents!
My favorite duo ever ! Thomas and james the history won’t repeat u!
I like this format of you two talking whilst driving.
I saw a local review show the 2024 Lyriq and Cadillac fixed the door handle situation, now they work like the Tesla Model 3. Now if only they would put a latch on the glove box.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. ‘It’s pretty obvious. It’s deep in the menu to the screen’. Best intro yet from you guys. You’re only getting better!
Love the channel. Double love it since y'all are also from the great white north.
Keep up the good work🎉🇨🇦
Great review. Thank you for not blasting music while you two were talking.
Harrison is pretty good at conveying the seat comfort with no words! 😀
Terrific looking vehicle. Love the A pillar back to the tail from the side angle. Very cool. 😎
I love watching you guys. I crack up screaming sometimes lol you are so funny
There is no way anyone does better intros than Throttle House's! Hands down the best!
I'm all CHOKED UP over this intro!
Better exterior design than the current BMW, Audi & Mercedes EV Suv's👌
Idk the Audi Q8 etron looks pretty good and less weird at the back
I always liked Art and Science. 2.0 is even better. It has a bold, executive presence that is distinctively American and appropriately bespoke to Cadillac.
The Lyriq isn't my favourite example of it.
@@andrewduong2740yea I think this design looks best on the (China ct6), xt6 and Escalade
Every week I leave a comment saying that was the best intro but this here.. this one takes the cake.
You guys are hysterical. I know I am late to this review but keep up the comedic relief!
The Lyriq is the best looking EV in the class. It really is a well executed design.
You mean the „lol I weigh more than a truck“ class? Yeah because nobody else is dumb enough to build in it
On my job, there is one red. It is beautiful, sleek, and credit to Cadillac on the exterior execution. From a view, it looks small to me, but I guess it is roomier than you would think.
Love the dirty headrests 🤣
So happy you guys managed to shoot the entire video before Thomas was offed. Thomas will be missed though.
This is the car reviewers that even when you don’t like the car they are reviewing you would still want to watch. Amazing!!
Been waiting for this one for so long
EDIT: This must be the first model year cause they updated the door handles after
This is a really great review. You show practical things and functional. Showing the nuances of how it accelerates and brakes are what most other reviewers aren’t doing. 0-60 and 1/4 times our over done and boring now. Well done
This intro was one of the best ahahah, amazing
Aside from the back and rear 3/4 view it looks good. The rear feels like it's being stretched just for cargo.
There has been spy shots for the 2024 Lyriq with real door handles. And there is apparently a V Series in development, and hopefully that will get the MagneRide suspension.
So the glimmer of hope is that Cadillac is being proactive, and working on improving the car.
The 2024 Lyric has relatively normal door handles that pop out in the front and you pull them to open the door. This design was more or less a place holder bc it came out well before it should have. They have a lot of kinks to work out before it's really a solid vehicle
i have the 2024 AWD and it indeed has normal door handles. The car is amazing!
@@evanderfrancis694 I didn't know they had hit the market yet. Great to hear!!! 😀
good because i've seen people saying that the door has failed many times and hurt hands
These videos have always been the best on UA-cam, but MY GOD this is top 3 for sure lmaooo!!!
“That handled like trying to run through a ball pit in those ‘90s moon shoes.”
One of Thomas’ funniest lines in a while 😂
The best part of GM is that they actually listened and now the 2024 model will come with door handles (Tesla Model 3/Y style) that actually pop out to grab them. Just because of that I wouldn't touch a 2023 model.
The intro is perfect
Amazing review! Like always
Why does it look like the headrests have grease spots on them?
Speakers in the headrest.
Speakers in the headrest.
You boys still have the magic. Best openings in the business and the best reviews.
Great intro I saw one of these in person a couple days ago it’s a good looking car I like it
Can't wait for you to review the Celestiq!
I test drove one of these couple of weeks ago .. The best interior EV or non EV .. such a sad thing they can't produce them enough and then dealers charging 10k over the MSRP as market adjustment .. Also due to delays in super cruise components, they are producing only the base model which has significantly less premium things as compared to lux2 or tech 2.. And they have got rid of push / pull thing in 2024 model
Give it six months for thr repos to catch up to the industry. Prices are falling and luxury EVs will fall the most.
They now offer 7,500 off MSRP. Amazing what a few months can do.
Best intro yet
Awesome beginning--SO funny. Keep up a great work guys!
I've now watched so many reviews of cars I absolutely never intend to buy, which aren't even available in the UK. And it's all thanks to Throttle House! Cheers!
It would be nice if they reviewed the current model year Lyriq instead of the old one. The new one has the new door handles which is game changer for simplicity.
The fact that you have to point out *standard doorhandles* as a "gamechanger" says all about the level of lunacy current car design has reached. I just wish car makers stopped all this nonsense and focussed their efforts on actually building better cars instead of pointless, needlessly convoluted tech fests.
@@FzNd I wouldn’t say the new door handles are standard design . But, they are much simpler in design and function, which is as a consumer I would like.
Interesting assessment - some things to note are that the fussy door handles have been completely replaced on all 2024 models with something akin to what’s on the Ioniq 5/6 albeit nicer as they have light bars in them. I was extremely impressed with both the design and build quality of the one I sampled a few months ago. Ride quality, cabin quietness, material quality, design (subjective but still), and tech were notably better in the Lyriq than the Mach-E. Also, you keep saying it’s 80k CN but then on the screen it shows that it’s significantly less than that…most other reviewers make note of how much value you’re getting for your money with the Lyriq. I’m not even going to go into how much better it is than the dumpy-looking Model Y…IMO Cadillac knocked it out of the park with this one.
The Lyriq in this video is 80k CN as equipped for this review. The “cheaper” numbers on screen are Lyriq base model pricing with no options. Cadillac, like many others, love to overcharge for their options.
@@oscarquijanodiaz4610 the trim lines are only a few thousand dollars apart from each other and they’re all pretty generously equipped 🤷🏼♂️ also they are driving a 2023 debut edition RWD that had a roughly $70k CN MSRP…
For me, I don’t care about how complicated something is or its color or how fast it can go from 0-60mph…. what I care about is how far it can go on a charge AND how quickly I can recharge it. That’s it. That’s what I want. Long distance travel and rapid recharging.
Though I've never seen it irl, on screen and on paper, it looks so good!
Both inside and out
Best TH opening ever! Dark, hilarious and ludicrous - just how I like it. Brilliant vid guys 👍😂
Do people actually like that all cars are turning into minivans? Nothing wrong with a minivan, but there was nothing wrong with a sedan either.
Unfortunately yes they do
Materialism. A good number of suburbanites could care less about looks when it comes to flexing on the next door neighbor.
5:23 killed me “that’s dumb” then they follow up with some goofy ass music lol😂 that was funny
The starting price of the Lyriq is actually pretty appealing, especially if you can get the $7,500 tax incentive here in the USA. When I sat in a Lyriq at a car show, I was really impressed . . . all that being said, the glovebox just pisses me off. That's just so very, very stupid.
That was one for the ages, guys. Great intro😊
Keep up the good work guys
15:50 lmfao 🤣 I love you guys
Good ZDX preview, thanks, guys! Hopefully, with a sane decision to add Apple Car play to the ZDX, Acura will also add a dedicated button for the glovebox :D
Loveee the Lyriq! Just test drove the 2024 model and I'm in love! too confortable and efficient, by the way, the door handles on the 2024 models are different!
Another amazing intro making me laugh my ass off, you guys are the best
Your f-ing intros are the best! Keep up the great job guys!!!
Always a great review. After seeing this, I'd be scared of how many things in this car would break. I mean, why not just use door handles? And why not just have a normal latch for the glove box!
The door handle design was changed already.
They’re changing the door handles for 2024, GM confirmed.
I’m a salesman at a Cadillac dealership and the AWD version is out and so are 2024 models, the AWD is noticeably better and the 2024 level 2s and 3s are being built here this month in September but awesome cars I highly recommend anyone checking out EVs to take a look
Sorry, but Cadillac is and has been going down the drain for years. Sales are abysmal compared to all other luxury vehicles. This electric garbage is just another nail in the GM coffin.
@@chriszaiserany thing before “but” is a lie. Just say it in your opening sentence if you don’t like GM or Cadillac and get it out the way.
@@chriszaiser The eleventy billion new Escalades around me say otherwise.
Of course you do you’re a salesman lmao
@@chriszaiserI’ll be honest, I thought Cadillac was only the Escalade until they came out with this thing. I was really surprised they made something like this, it’s a pretty good offering imo.
Nice video keep up the good work my brothers
I drive an xt4, and I’ve seen the lyriq’s on the road and they look so gooddddddd
Given the price, it's pretty shocking that there was no mention of the Tesla model X in this vid!
The model x is a lot more expensive, starts at 110 Canadian
@@garrylong2993 Under 80k US atm, is that 110 Canadian? Genuine question.
I’m guessing it’s because the video was made before the model x price drop. The lyriq looks nice but can’t see myself choosing it over a model x (or model y).
@@AlienApe. yep
For what it's worth, the 2024 LYRIQ has deployable door handles which function more like a Rivian where they pop out when unlocked. Guessing they got so much hate on these 2023 doors that they didn't even make it to the mid cycle enhancement
Pretty sure they already had the design on the roadmap before people complained. You don't make changes like that in less than a year.
So a few things: First the door handles present as you walk up on ‘24+ models. Second in the US there is at least an $8k subsidy plus $1.5k home charger credit, plus years of gas and maintenance savings you’re not counting into the “price” of the car, plus a 4-year warranty.
