Let’s cut to the chase—the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq isn’t just GM’s best EV yet. It’s a legit Model X rival that ditches the gimmicks for old-school luxury with a techy twist. With 340 miles of range, a 33-inch OLED dash, and styling sharper than a Wall Street suit, this thing screams “premium without the pretentiousness.”
Performance: Smooth Operator
The Lyriq’s single-motor RWD (340 hp) or dual-motor AWD (500 hp) setups won’t melt your face like a Plaid, but the ride is buttery-smooth, thanks to GM’s Ultium platform and magnetic dampers. 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds (AWD) is quick enough to dust most luxury SUVs—just don’t expect Ludicrous Mode theatrics.
Tech & Interior: The Anti-Tesla
Forget minimalist nonsense—the Lyriq pampers you with real buttons, AKG 19-speaker audio, and seats so plush they feel like a first-class airline upgrade. The Super Cruise hands-free driving works on 400,000+ miles of roads, and yes, it actually lets you change lanes automatically.
Range & Charging: No Drama
The 102 kWh battery nets 340 miles (RWD) or 307 miles (AWD), and 190 kW DC fast charging means 10-80% in 32 minutes. Not the fastest, but stress-free for road trips.
Verdict: The EV Cadillac Always Should’ve Made
The Lyriq isn’t perfect (where’s the frunk?!), but it’s the first Caddy EV that feels worth the money. Tesla fans might scoff, but good luck finding a quieter, comfier, or better-built electric luxury ride at this price.
Rating: 8.8/10
Pros: Stunning design, killer interior, Super Cruise rules.
Cons: No performance variant (yet), charging could be faster.
