I bought a Cadillac XT5 last May (my first GM vehicle in a long time) one of the reasons because I am seeing the mass amount of investment GM is putting into EVs and feel like the Equinox EV with its competitive price will be the EV for the masses. So I wanted to get an idea of how the ownership experience with a GM product is like before gambling with an unfamiliar brand on a new technology. Because I feel my foray into the EV world will be with a GM electric vehicle be it a Lyriq, Equinox EV, or Blazer EV. Its also important to note the best selling EV in China is a GM product (Wuling Honguang Mini) so its not like they are new to the game of making mass market EVs.
It is clear that you are a paid russian troll😂😉 But this time you have overplayed your character😂 A Cadillac is not even in the same class than the German cars. Don t make fool out of yourself😅😅😅
Absolutely Stunning! Hands down one of the most quiet POV Drives you've ever recorded, your voice was clear inside a quiet vehicle. The Lyriq is a sedan/wagon mashup (a semi-estate) displaying the features of both. So Miles, is Cadillac a contender in the e-luxury battle with Lucid?
Stunning! I am floored, This is a real Cadillac. It even has its own stalks etc. Very good job GM very good. Oh and I love that paddle on the back of the wheel. You really need a way to control braking.
I think that's a really dumb feature. It's training wheels for an ev. It's simply not necessary. as long as the accelerator has enough range and feel one pedal driving is easy. Other than that, its a really cool car.
What a car!!! Cadillac is on track. Proud to be an American company. Unfortunately electric cars have a way to go before consumers in general commit to this technology. Maybe another 6 to 7 years.
Great video and review. The quality of your POV video and sound recording gave a very immersive experience. Truly one of the best auto reviews I've seen. I definitely have a much better feel for the Lyriq and I can not wait to take delivery of my 2023 RWD - CRYSTAL WHITE EV.
The Debut Edition is only available in black or silver, but everything after that for 2023 model year is also available in opulent blue and crystal white.
I’m a diesel mechanic who hates EVs, but in all honesty I’d buy this car in a heartbeat. I love Cadillac and truly believe they’ve made something special
@@CHMichael It makes sense though that a brand new electric model would have a more modern interior than existing ICE platforms. However, I agree in that not everything should be put into a screen.
Awesome, i am neither an electric car or GM fan. But i love this car, whereas the Mustang E, i hate it. So one of of these will be in my future, Well Done Cadillac 👍
Not a EV kinda guy but good design and very nice cabin in true Cadillac style. Noise canceling tech comes from AKG, I assume? I have AKG headphones and it's awesome 👌 I do prefer this to its German competition. Great review thanks Miles 😊 👍🏻
Glad it's got the screwy rear profile, otherwise it's not that distinguishable from other SUVs. The front is still Cadillac though. I looked at 1923 and 1973 interiors to see the difference in 100 and 50 years. Mr. Leland would be proud. Good review.
It's still about 5.5 hours to charge it from 20 to 80 percent. That is still very doable from my garage. My Kona takes about the same amount of time to do the same charge with my 40 amp at 7.3kwh set up.
Best review yet! Nice job. I’ve owned Porsches, Audi’s, and VW’s. But now I focus on “Buy American” to keep HQ jobs in the US. I have a 2018 Continental … great car. But now I look forward to the delivery of my Lyriq!
Ride quality. Comfort. That's what I'm looking for in my next car. I couldn't be bothered by a 0-60mph in 4, 6 or 8s. 99% of the time you're driving the car from A to B, not doing green light sprints. I wonder if Cadillac brings this to Europe. Maybe with the lack of combustion engine, there are less regulations preventing this?
I think one of the most brilliant things about this car is one of the most low tech things on it. The GRILL. Yes it is etched with lasers and backlit but at the end of the day its a plastic panel that covers that space on the front and its brilliant because it emulates a grill while being more than just a fake grille. The lights seem to give it a purpose other than just being there. It has taken me a long time to get past the no grill front of the Tesla Model 3 though it has grown on me. I just think something like this is preferable in a premium brand because a luxury car is about more than utility it is also an ornament, experience and symbol of success.
Fantastic Review! Been watching your reviews since the 2014 Kia Sorrento. As others said, you make us feel as if we are there in the vehicle experiencing the sounds based on your driving senerios. Thanks for going over what most reviewers don't cover making us feel like we are part of the ride.
It's nice to see Cadillac trying to return to its true Roots as the standard of the world. This is a real winner right here I would buy this over any other Electric luxury vehicle.
Excellent review. Seems to be a very nice car...at a reasonable price....but reliability will need to be proven as this is a new platform...for not Tesla fans seems it can become a candidate a valid option. Time will tell.
This is a very good Cadillac and I can tell you Cadillac has been putting out a whole bunch of stuff for well over a hundred years. So I see where they're coming from with this and besides that this is the first all electric car they're going to put out in 2023. And it won't be long now before this type of Cadillac not only becomes an electric car but soon it will have basically what Tesla has it's called self-driving capabilities. So basically for people who don't drive like me this type of car would be just perfect in self-driving mode. Because what that means is within the next 10 to 15 years nearly all electric vehicles in some cases will have self-driving capabilities. And that's what I like about that idea. All you have to do is just tell the car where to go and it will take you right to your destination no questions asked no hassles no anything. You just take it and go.
I would like to know how the AKG stereo performs relative to the competition in the sub $100k EV market. Is it better than the HK stereo in the BMW iX?
The driver’s-position, instrument cluster presentation is very attractive and cohesive. The centre consul floating was appealing. However, the face of the vehicle looks so cheap like a composition of plastic puzzle pieces. The rear end achieves design from ad hoc plastic moulded surround lights that manifest swoopieness. The glass sky light ceiling looked beautiful. Not too fab in Lost Vegas sunshine, or -30° Chicago winters. The back bench seat was so thin and insubstantial. Speakers in the head rest, convertibles ok, rather funky. I hope Cadillac succeeds. It eroded into a blunderous failure when GM gave up in 1980 on the sedan.
I have one ordered.......But rumor has it that a mandatory subscription to Onstar at $500/Year will be required........If this is true, I will cancel.............Paul
Can a 6 foot person fit comfortably in here? Because im tall im wondering if i could fit or not? Im not buying it now im a newbie of cars i have never had a car before. This is when i have a job and house im still living with my family. Because im not old enough yet to get out of the house or out of my family im still in high-school.
@@MilesPerHr Yeah but even in the beginning of your video when you started to show the front light show, you cut it off before it finished! Bad edit there, but overall outstanding review. My 500 hp is already on order and you pretty much Put to sleep any concerns or doubts I had. Thanks!
I was looking forward to the Mercedes EQE AMG SUV but was let down by the egg-shaped design. I’ve owned 5 MBs In my life and will likely be switching to this Cadillac. It’s the best looking EV period.
The Lyriq is the ONLY EV I would consider owning right now! I love what Cadillac has created!

It is amazing how Cadillac makes more elegant and beautiful cars than BMW and Mercedes nowadays.
They're stepping their game up for sure!
They are moving in the right direction. Time USA to be proud of some quality cars, like back in the days.
It is clear that you are a paid russian troll😂😉
But this time you have overplayed your character😂
A Cadillac is not even in the same class than the German cars.
Don t make fool out of yourself😅😅😅
@@ub4079 you’re right, it doesnt break down as much. So its not at the same level as bmw and mercedes its significantly better
@@ub4079 you have to think about the price to luxuries ratio and Cadillac beats that hands down.
I love the fact that the interior metalic parts are brushed just right. They are not too shiny nor too dull. Very elegant.
Just the way you polish your knob
Just like GM was in their prime. Until the mid 1970s each division of GM had. their own identifiable interior controls.
They are just painted plastic. Looks and feels extremely tacky and cheap. Like a chintzy Chinese toy.
Absolutely Stunning! Hands down one of the most quiet POV Drives you've ever recorded, your voice was clear inside a quiet vehicle. The Lyriq is a sedan/wagon mashup (a semi-estate) displaying the features of both. So Miles, is Cadillac a contender in the e-luxury battle with Lucid?
Vastly different price points (for now), but I would absolutely take Cadillac seriously in the EV space.
This car is great,possible the Best car ever produced im the US!
Cadillac did a great job, this is one of the nicer looking EVs that I’ve seen.
I hate the glass roof.
I would like to see it as an option.
I was sold on that column shifter!🥰
Stunning! I am floored, This is a real Cadillac. It even has its own stalks etc. Very good job GM very good. Oh and I love that paddle on the back of the wheel. You really need a way to control braking.
I think that's a really dumb feature. It's training wheels for an ev. It's simply not necessary. as long as the accelerator has enough range and feel one pedal driving is easy.
Other than that, its a really cool car.
@@AB-nv7bz " It's simply not necessary." What's wrong with having options?
@@Tattletale-Delta it’s an feature that fixes an problem that doesn’t exist. The bar is low for the big 3
Not really. Each time that you stop you’re regenerating charge.
@@AB-nv7bz It does solve a problem with regenerative braking, you’re simply wrong.
Finally General Motors might gain back some of their good reputation they lost.
Wow! Incredible car! When GM uses all its available resources it can 100% build world class vehicles.
But no rear heating or ventilation seats?? So how is it great
What a car!!! Cadillac is on track. Proud to be an American company. Unfortunately electric cars have a way to go before consumers in general commit to this technology. Maybe another 6 to 7 years.
i am not really big into SUVs, but I have to admit this car looks pretty dope.
Great video and review. The quality of your POV video and sound recording gave a very immersive experience. Truly one of the best auto reviews I've seen. I definitely have a much better feel for the Lyriq and I can not wait to take delivery of my 2023 RWD - CRYSTAL WHITE EV.
I'm very pleased you enjoyed it!
It stuns me that this vehicle came from the same company responsible for the development of the Chevrolet Cobalt.
I love the way the door handle work. Microwave oven style.
The Debut Edition is only available in black or silver, but everything after that for 2023 model year is also available in opulent blue and crystal white.
My dream car❤
I’m a diesel mechanic who hates EVs, but in all honesty I’d buy this car in a heartbeat. I love Cadillac and truly believe they’ve made something special
There was nothing in the bin to pull from . This is their first mainstream EV. Great review 🙂
Welcome to my home state! EV market is heating up fast! I like the side profile (not sure about the front). Great POV drive review!
Thank you! Loved UT - will be back for sure
Its a absolut dreamcar!Good job GM
Finally, Cadillac found their marketing manager and product development manager, XD
Starting to like the exterior better and better, and the interior is already my favorite among all EVs, possibly all cars.
There shouldn't be anything different on the inside of an ev v ice ( visually - floor might be thicker)
@@CHMichael It makes sense though that a brand new electric model would have a more modern interior than existing ICE platforms. However, I agree in that not everything should be put into a screen.
10/10 review. Awesome car!
you know, I'm glad they didn't slap an iPad on the dash like ford with their design.
10/4 on that...........Anything having a laptop bolted to dash will NOT be on My shopping list..........Paul
Its the most comfortable SUV Ive sat in! Top it off , its gorgeous on the inside
I ordered mine! Cant wait to deliver it by the end of this year or early next year!!
Nice! Enjoy it when it comes 👍
Finally you did 2023 Cadillac Lyriq
It is already there And they saw it anywhere else on UA-cam
Solid display of what this car is all about
Can't wait to get my hands on one.Hopefully soon!
Always the first to post new cars. Keep up!
Everyone posted the Lyriq today. There was an embargo. No one could release the first drives until 6/28/22.
I have a deposit on the AWD version in opulent blue. Dealer says early spring 2023 delivery. Great video btw.
Same here...
i wonder if the HUD will be in place for production vehicles. None of the test cars seem to have it so far.
I expect you'll be pleased! Enjoy
I watched a lot of Cadillac Lyriq UA-cam videos and this is one of the best I’ve seen. Great Job and Thank you!
Yeah this is the car to relax on holyday just curious about the 500 hp dual motor model.Hope we see it on the channel!
Hope to have it on the channel soon!
Awesome, i am neither an electric car or GM fan. But i love this car, whereas the Mustang E, i hate it. So one of of these will be in my future, Well Done Cadillac 👍
Not a EV kinda guy but good design and very nice cabin in true Cadillac style.
Noise canceling tech comes from AKG, I assume? I have AKG headphones and it's awesome 👌
I do prefer this to its German competition.
Great review thanks Miles 😊 👍🏻
Yes, the noise cancelling tech comes from AKG. Glad you liked the video!
Wish I didn't like this car, but it is too beautiful. Well done, MPH! (and Cadillac!)
Glad it's got the screwy rear profile, otherwise it's not that distinguishable from other SUVs. The front is still Cadillac though. I looked at 1923 and 1973 interiors to see the difference in 100 and 50 years. Mr. Leland would be proud. Good review.

Future travel car
Definitely!
Everything except the door knob is AMAZING!!

Wow! That Sorrento video was WAY back - thank you so much for your continued support.
You are going to look good going to the supermarket in this.
I think so too!
REALLY well done review. I am impressed.
Interior is nice.
I use the single pedal feature in my EV, but for the last 8 mph that it deactivates for, I then use the paddle to come to a stop completely.
This is an amazing ev!
Top car 👍🏻 Cadillac💪
I am a german carfan but this is just amazing!
That car looks pretty awesome! :)
It's nice to see Cadillac trying to return to its true Roots as the standard of the world. This is a real winner right here I would buy this over any other Electric luxury vehicle.
I seen one in Opulent Blue Metallic (a color Cadillac brought back from the late 2000s prominent on the CTS-V) and man it looks amazing.
Thanks for the brand love
Why did they remove the sequential turn signals and the pop out door handles?
Cadillac will always be top dog
Thank you for video. 👌👍
Great review! I finally got a production date of the second week in September (2023). Can't wait.
This car is gorgeous so beautiful!! I would probably choose this over Mercedes electric suv. I had the hyper screen technology bs.
Would of never thought Cadillac and Kia would have the best looking EV's on the market.
mid $60s, excluding the tax credit is a huge deal for this.
There's an 80's touch in that design...
Excellent review. Seems to be a very nice car...at a reasonable price....but reliability will need to be proven as this is a new platform...for not Tesla fans seems it can become a candidate a valid option. Time will tell.
Looks good 👍
Was it quiet in the back seat with no speakers in the head cushion?
in case of a rollover are those giant glass ceiling strong enough not to break?
Wow nice video man
Glad you liked it!

The profile looks like a Range Rover Velar….in a very good way
How's the ride? I'm used to the soft AirRide in the S-class Benz.
The sound thooooooo
Can you get a set Cop car BLUE ROOF LIGHTS, as an Option????
Can the light show be turned off?
Great reviews and impressive car.
Glad you like them!
I would like to know how the AKG stereo performs relative to the competition in the sub $100k EV market. Is it better than the HK stereo in the BMW iX?
Quick correction: The gentle hum noise is not from the electric motors. Its from a speaker playing sound because motors are too quiet.
The driver’s-position, instrument cluster presentation is very attractive and cohesive. The centre consul floating was appealing. However, the face of the vehicle looks so cheap like a composition of plastic puzzle pieces. The rear end achieves design from ad hoc plastic moulded surround lights that manifest swoopieness. The glass sky light ceiling looked beautiful. Not too fab in Lost Vegas sunshine, or -30° Chicago winters. The back bench seat was so thin and insubstantial. Speakers in the head rest, convertibles ok, rather funky. I hope Cadillac succeeds. It eroded into a blunderous failure when GM gave up in 1980 on the sedan.
How does it handle bumps?
Much better than BMW EVs. Hope they can step up their quality and reliability.
Not bad, looks like an actual luxury car. Just don't like how the doors open.
Price range please??Thank you!
As P.T. Barnum believed, there's a SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE. Looks like a Fancy RAV4 Cop Car
how is the road noise?
❤❤❤❤❤❤blomiq
Nive POV bro,keep doing
How is this not a concept?
That's strong praise for the design!

VG REVIEW VLOG. WHY NOT OPEN THE FRONT & SHOW THE MOTORS ETC. CHARGING TIME & COLD START ETC.
I wish you would have shown more of the lights either at night or in a parking garage.
This was a press drive. We could only access the car for a short time. When I get a loan, I will do a night drive.

stunning grill.. but wonder how well it does with impact test.
You can tell he knows how to do a Kermit impersonation
What a weird door handle, why not just make it a collapsable handle? Must be tiring explaining it to people riding with you haha
I still haven’t received mine in Los Angeles.
I was looking forward to the Mercedes EQE AMG SUV but was let down by the egg-shaped design. I’ve owned 5 MBs In my life and will likely be switching to this Cadillac. It’s the best looking EV period.
There are more of these on UA-cam than in the Cadillac dealerships. Try to find one or try to find an Escalade.
great car, but those door handles.... imagine opening the front doors when it's raining and the car is all wet and dirty)
8:49
Its supposed to have a 5g hotspot built in. Did You get a chance to do a speed test?
I did not, sorry!
6:25
less chrome and shiny trim and ill be happy. it does look nice, but im a bit mixed on the back.
