The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Is A Futuristic All-Electric Next Gen Luxury SUV

  • Like so many other brands, #Cadillac is going all-electric by the year 2030 and the brand-new 2023 #CadillacLyriq is the first vehicle to help lead them towards an electric future. The 2023 #Lyriq is built on a dedicated EV only platform that will underpin a bunch of future models and it also utilizes the #Ultium batteries taken from the GMC Hummer EV. The #ElectricLyriq should do battle with a bunch of upcoming new luxury SUV's and at a base price of just under $60k and fully loaded coming to around $67k, this should undercut most of its rivals by thousands of dollars.

    Yup, this is the car that had a few dealers ditching the Cadillac franchise because the company required a lot of changes to be made to existing dealers if they are to sell these and after spending some time behind the wheel, this could be the game-changing luxury SUV that Cadillac needs that just happens to be electric. We're excited to try out the more powerful AWD version later this year.

      You're correct, Redline Reviews. Many dealers ended their Cadillac divisions because of this car. They were so rearward thinking. Now GM may make it hard for them to be a dealer again. Cadillac is finally learning to leverage the success of the Escalade, but also deliver world-class performance rocket like the CT5-Blackwing, and now this Lyriq, which is a very solid first effort.(the ELR was a PHEV(basically a Volt missing two doors in a tux), for those not in the know). I think Mary Barra identified that this car couldn't have came at a better time for Caddy.

      This is a driver centric car. The passenger seat in the back and front clearly sells all the action there. As such a V makes a ton of sense. But lack of front or rear passenger toys just a cup holder seems like a choice made to push the executive and passenger focused crowd to the Celestiq and Escalade. Nothing wrong with that, just a very visible choice.

      Precisely! Aside from a handful of nicer interior materials, you could still very much see it's a Chevy underneath. Starting from scratch on a vehicle with the outset of stating they won't use any parts bin items is what they've needed to do for a while now. This is great to see, and hopefully is the case on everything they make from here on out. They now, of course, have a new parts bin to pull from.

      GM will lose a fortune making these and the hummer EV they are so far behind technology wise. They need to add a ridiculous amounts of batteries to get decent range which will limit the production. My Model three has a 60 KWh battery for 325 miles of range at 133 EV mpg which is best efficiency in its class. Rivian is only 88 ev mpg which is horrible. I can’t find these specs for the Cadillac. Hopefully it’s efficient.

    Thank you guys very much for the review, I want to remind you of one thing, that dealers who are supplied with cars will additionally charge money for the sale of this car now, for example, Cadillac Escalade. which are sold at dealers for $ 15,000 more than the manufacturer recommends selling. Dealers do what they want. Until GM puts things in order with dealers, Tesla will be charged more and the price there is more transparent and no one is shaking their nerves and making an important appearance as managers of GM dealerships. Therefore, I think feel free to add another $ 10,000 to the price recommended by the factory, which the dealer will put in his pocket and will make an important appearance pulling money out of your family. By the way, when I ordered LYRIQ on the official website, it was said in the contract that the final price depends on the dealer's interest.

I think they have done a great job in every aspect of the vehicle. Also thanks for explaining the frunk situation. I have never had a frunk so I can’t say I’d ever actually miss not having one, but if I’m switching from a ICE powered car to a EV I think my first priority would be the *charging speed* so I feel Cadillac definitely made the correct decision there. They cleaned that frunk area up nicely, fitting of a luxury vehicle. I always thought the frunks of the Ioniq 5 and Kia ev6 look a mess especially for their prices.

    I don’t understand automakers’ insistence on reinventing door handles. There’s absolutely no reason to make opening the doors a two-step process that involves multiple electronic components, including motors. Also, putting the glove box release in the screen is completely ludicrous.

    • @SteveLinGuitar
      @SteveLinGuitar 2 роки тому +1

      Totally agree. Not only is there the 2 step process, but the rear door doesn't seem ergonomic at all. You'd have to stand behind the door. Why would you open the door into your body to walk around it? Not to mention the cringe feeling of putting your fingers between the door and frame every single time.

    • @mybro727

      There’s no reason, are you sure? So how else would the Lyriq have flush door handles for the best aerodynamics that don’t retract into the body of the vehicle like Tesla? They clearly wanted to opt out of moving parts for the door release. Opening doors has literally always been a 2-step (or more) process. Which world are _you_ from?

    • @mybro727
      @mybro727 2 роки тому

      Also, every single luxury vehicle with a soft close door function involves an expensive motor regardless of how you open the doors. Your comment is the equivalent to complaining about “unnecessary motors” for soft close doors. Asinine. 🙄

    I have a registration number for the AWD version and have been really wanting to see someone drive the car. I watched another video from a different source interview the lead GM Lyriq engineer. When the interviewer heard that they used 5-link with Passive-Plus Premium Dampers, he said that is very premium. The engineer's response was, "it is a Cadillac." That pretty much summarizes the design philosophy of this EV. I'm glad to hear in fact the suspension does give a smooth, quiet ride. I'm going with the standard (smaller) diameter wheels because the large wheels have low profile tires and they don't do well in pothole heaven here in the Indy area. FYI, GM China said that 0-100 kph (62 mph) is 4.35 seconds and the range converted from the Chinese test method was 287 miles. That number compares with cars like the Mach-e that suffer a 20-30 mile range loss going to AWD. Here's hoping the dealer does not turn around and charge more (gouge) than the MSRP, which is the only reason I would not purchase this vehicle.

    Good for Cadillac. I think what I like about it is hearing the ride quality is great, the overall build seems on a good level and it seems like a solid value (if the dealers don't jack the prices up). You know it'll be quiet. What I don't like, it's another crossover and I'm really sick of the crossover format. EVs should be lower and sleeker, not tall because that's fashionable. But that's not Cadillac's fault and until the public changes what's fashionable, we'll see more and more of variations of crossovers.

    I only watched about half of this review. You were doing an excellent job with the styling details. My first thought is Cadillac may be TOO aggressive with a 2030 deadline to be fully electric. IMO the infrastructure will not be 100% in place. Also, even though the new exterior door handles look very nice, they have added an extra step just to open the door. Not a smart move, no matter how nice it looks. So, time will tell how reliable this car will be mechanically. I personally gave up on GM, including Cadillac years ago. Good luck to Cadillac, I hope this will be a success story. I'm just not personally sold.

      I don’t see the big deal with the door handles. They aren’t confusing or hard for anyone that should be opening a door to operate. Cadillac went the more elegant route with an automated door that opens itself at the push of a button. It’s a Cadillac, a *luxury* SUV after all. Too much technology and luxury for you, maybe you should check out a review of the Chevrolet Blazer EV. People like you that say you’ve “given up” on GM years ago and then in the same breathe you’re criticizing the very aspects where they’ve gone the extra mile - it’s asinine. You’re a walking contradiction.
