I took this vehicle for a test drive the other day, what a value. The Lyriq is the quietest ev I drove and fun to drive. My only complaint is the leg room. I'm 6'1", and my right knee hits the center console, making it uncomfortable. My id.4 is perfect inside, but I want something more luxurious, and this might be the one.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s nice to hear from people who are already in the EV game and who are taller. Those are two points of view where we miss the mark. The LYRIQ is a great vehicle indeed. What’s mind blowing is that this is Cadillacs first EV. They tabled expectations and have us excited for their EV future. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so very much. Why couldn’t agree more. We loved it and think that Cadillac is on the right path for a competitive future. Thanks again for watching.
Thanks you for watching. We genuinely liked this vehicle. We want to review more Cadillacs now and we what else they will offer in the EV future. They have lots of cool ideas in their cars.
Great review ..The massage seats and lumbar support and luxury interiors may tempt me to choose this over a model Y…Not sure what the model Y has over this model besides network ?
Thanks for the comment. The network is the absolute best, and the power is impressive, but other than that, Cadillac is the better of the two. However, they both require you to go into your screen to use the glovebox. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.
Besides the charging network there's also a significant difference in charging speed. Tom at State of Charge did some testing. The Lyriq range is good. 330 mi. at 70 mph. But the charging is not as good. 40 minutes from 20% to 80%. He loves the car, but the DC charging speed is the weak spot. It wouldn't be a bad road tripper, but not a great one either. But that would depend on your needs.
Don't know why some people don't appreciate your sense of humor, I think it's very amusing. Any chance you will review the Lyriq AWD version and show us the smart cruise feature, 500 hp and 300 mile range is very tempting? Thanks,enjoyed your video.
Thank you so much. We can’t please make everyone laugh, but we love making some laugh…and learn. :) We appreciate the kind words and comment. We wanted to try the super cruise on this model but we ran out of time, and to be honest, we may have broken the button. Shhh. We will be reviewing the 2024 when we can. Keep an eye out for it. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! It’s a fine balance, but if we can make you laugh and help teach you something then our job is done. Thanks for watching. We really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for sharing Ed. Hearing from owners is always welcome as your opinion and experience is better than ours. Enjoy your new ride. You picked a good one.
Thanks for watching. Hopefully you were able to learn something from our review. What vehicle are you currently driving? Thanks for commenting and have a great weekend.
Beautiful vehicle, would like to see a charge port on both sides like Audi e-tron to allow for EVSE to be mounted on passenger side wall of garage without having to back into the garage.
I would agree but you forgot to mention the 2024 Cadillac lyriq just went up in price …big time …The tech entry level has no massage seats /digital head display ..Luxury level 1 has no massage seats and speakers in seats and that costs 77k …U need to be in luxury 3 to get that ..For that money a bmw Ix and Audi etron is where I would go
Thank you for your comment. We are going to try and get our hands on a 2024 as soon as possible. We do have the 24 Q8 Etron review coming soon, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching and for sharing. We appreciate your interest in the LYRIQ.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial yes just wish the 2024 lyriq had all the features and price of the 2023 ..,Sad because they will be losing customers with this tier system ….The 2023 lyriq is a unicorn 🦄 that was worth the buy
I guess I was expecting more of 22nd Century version of the Citroen DS. No modern Cadillac has a suspension that can compete with the smoothness of a 1955 Citroen hydroneumatic suspension on the highway, not even the 77 Eldorado!
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Sadly, I do not own one. A neighbor of my grandad has one in Houston. The first time I rode in it, I was absolutely stunned at how smooth it was. As amazing as a 60yo Citroen is, I assume it’s even more expensive than anything from British Leyland, to keep running. (Dad had an MGB and the horror stories he’s told we’re just incredible.) “So your floorboard fell out when you were on the freeway?!?!?!” - “Yes; but it wasn’t the same freeway where I lost the driveshaft, OR, where the roof flew off after the last remaining clasp gave way…”
I so want this to be the EV i am looking for and just when I am like yes it is, I get discouraged by all the owner horror stories on bad reliability and issues. Still trying to figure out the EV to pony up for! Tesla interior and comfort features just not there
Oh man, we don't envy you in any way. It is such a tough call right now. We loved the Lyriq but we understand where you are coming from. Nobody has the perfect EV right now, but some are better than others. Maybe hold off another year and see where the LYRIQ goes. You could also purchase a Honda PROLOGUE. That will basically be a Lyriq. :) Thanks for watching! We appreciate your comment as well.
There are still a few good ones out there. The used market is starting to shift a bit. Here in Canada at least. We may se things start to get back to normal in terms of pricing. Fingers crossed.
Whoa whoa, who do you think we are @thestraightpipes? :) We will get a 2024 after everyone who is greater than us gets to review it first. We have to wait. ha. Thanks for watching!
2024 will be the year of production for the LYRIQ. They are just around the corner too. The price we quoted was for the two wheel drive, so it will be significantly cheaper to those luxury EV SUVs who’s entry level only offers all wheel drive. We will see what 2024 brings. Cadillac might make a grandpa out of you soon enough. But what a classy grandpa you would be. :) Thanks for watching!
That Buick comment just ruined it for me. :) Give it time and Cadillac should be able to come up with something that might turn your head. Thanks again for watching.
We can’t deny that. The Catera alone is enough to turn everyone off. But, Cadillac is doing some great things and building some brilliant cars right now. They are out to prove something and if they keep up with vehicles like the LYRIQ, they should be ok. Thanks so much for watching Norm.
Time will tell. Cadillac is doing great things and it’s said that even Honda may team up with them to build cars. Cadillac must be on the right track. Thanks for watching.

Good video guys - GM/Cadillac knocked it out of the park first time up 👍🏻
Thank you so very much. Why couldn’t agree more. We loved it and think that Cadillac is on the right path for a competitive future. Thanks again for watching.
New to you guys channel and I must say I love the mix between humor and honest criticism. New sub
Thank you so much mate. We really appreciate the support. It means a lot to everyone who works on this channel. Hopefully we don’t let you down.
Good review guys. Look forward to seeing your progress.
Thank you so much mate. Thanks for watching and for joining our journey. :)
Great review fellas -- Opening the trunk was cool :)
Thanks you for watching. We genuinely liked this vehicle. We want to review more Cadillacs now and we what else they will offer in the EV future. They have lots of cool ideas in their cars.
Wow the LYRIQ is beautiful, incredible value!
Sounds like someone works for Cadillac. :)
Thanks for watching.

Maybe I'll let you drive my car I ordered the the Lyriq Sport 2 AWD,lol.
@Braunalita promise? :)
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Absolutely if I get a cameo appearance,drinks will be on me as well,enough incentive?
@Braunalita sounds like you’ve got a deal. :)
Love the humor along with a great car review!!!!
Thank you so much! It’s a fine balance, but if we can make you laugh and help teach you something then our job is done.

Just got mine. Waited a year ,was worth the wait, best ride and handling and I had ATesla X for 5 yeasrs
Thank you so much for sharing Ed. Hearing from owners is always welcome as your opinion and experience is better than ours. Enjoy your new ride. You picked a good one.
How you like the charging compared to Tesla? Any regrets, afterthoughts?
Always wanted to know more about these as I got a HEV
Thanks for watching. Hopefully you were able to learn something from our review. What vehicle are you currently driving? Thanks for commenting and have a great weekend.

We are reviewing the Q8 Etron next. Be sure to tune in. $700 for a second charger. Is it worth it?
You guys are amazing. Great review and I loved your jokes.
That is so very kind. Thank you for saying hello and we are glad you enjoyed the review. Have a great weekend.

@watchmedicine7747 it really was. If anyone got a 23, they need a lottery ticket to go along with it. :)
I guess I was expecting more of 22nd Century version of the Citroen DS.
No modern Cadillac has a suspension that can compete with the smoothness of a 1955 Citroen hydroneumatic suspension on the highway, not even the 77 Eldorado!
Wait, do you own a 55 Citroen, and if you do can we review it? :)
Thanks so much for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial
Sadly, I do not own one. A neighbor of my grandad has one in Houston. The first time I rode in it, I was absolutely stunned at how smooth it was.

- “Yes; but it wasn’t the same freeway where I lost the driveshaft, OR, where the roof flew off after the last remaining clasp gave way…”
Is that Glenn Beck reviewing cars now? :)
Haha. Times are tight for Glenn. He needs extra cash.
Nice

@@HoodSlappersOfficial and these dealers are not making it any better!
There are still a few good ones out there. The used market is starting to shift a bit. Here in Canada at least. We may se things start to get back to normal in terms of pricing. Fingers crossed.
Get gas at a Sam's or Costco and 20 min. sounds about right.
Brad waits 20minutes wherever he goes. Ha
Where is # 24 year
Whoa whoa, who do you think we are @thestraightpipes? :) We will get a 2024 after everyone who is greater than us gets to review it first. We have to wait. ha.
Thanks for watching!
That dude has a tire under his shirt and that dry comedy isn’t working
Which dude? We’ve both been called fat before.
Thanks for watching.
I put the over/under at 5,000 units sold for 2023. No price reduction could get me into this grandpa-maker 😂

You are right in 10-15 years I will probably be looking at a Cadillac. For now two major drawbacks being the CCS charging and it looks like a Buick.
That Buick comment just ruined it for me. :)
Give it time and Cadillac should be able to come up with something that might turn your head. Thanks again for watching.
Too much guys and not enough car.
Thanks for watching Bob. We do appreciate the feedback.
Just the way you like it Bob! The more guys the better!
Guys just GOT TO have at least one fart joke, right?
Everyone loves a fart joke. It’s also in our contract. Ha. Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate it.
Silly
Thanks for watching Dave.
IF CADILLAC IS THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD..WE ARE IN TROUBLE..50 CADILLAC FAILURES IN LAST 50 YEARS..
We can’t deny that. The Catera alone is enough to turn everyone off. But, Cadillac is doing some great things and building some brilliant cars right now. They are out to prove something and if they keep up with vehicles like the LYRIQ, they should be ok.
Thanks so much for watching Norm.
Corolla doesnt start ....yeah ok they brought you huh lol
Times are tight for Brad. haha. He needs to trade up. Thanks for watching!
It’s a Gm= unreliability
Time will tell. Cadillac is doing great things and it’s said that even Honda may team up with them to build cars. Cadillac must be on the right track.
