Cadillac Lyriq Interior. The most luxurious all electric suv! Should tesla model x worried?

2022 Cadillac Lyriq (review)

Cadillac's first entrant into the luxury electric vehicle market will be the Lyriq SUV, previewed by a concept car with sharp styling and a modern cabin. Cadillac says that both single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive models will be offered, and that its new SUV will have a driving range of more than 300 miles. The Lyriq has been designed from the ground up and will ride on General Motors's new scalable battery architecture; the company claims a low center of gravity and a spacious cabin as benefits of the dedicated EV-architecture. The Lyriq should be on sale sometime in late 2022 as a 2023 model.

What's New for 2023?

Not only is Lyriq a brand-new nameplate for the struggling American luxury brand, it's also Cadillac's first all-electric offering. When it goes on sale, it'll go head to head with heavy hitters such as the Audi e-tron, the Jaguar I-Pace, and the Tesla Model X.

Pricing

Luxury: $75,000 (est.)
Premium Luxury: $80,000 (est.)
Sport: $85,000 (est.)
Platinum: $90,000 (est.)

Cadillac hasn't said anything about the Lyriq's price or if it will follow the brand's usual trim level arrangement, but we expect a base price somewhere around the $75,000 mark with fully-loaded examples selling in the $90,000 range.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Lyriq will come standard in rear-wheel-drive form with an electric motor on the rear axle; all-wheel drive will be optional and adds a second motor at the front to drive those wheels. Cadillac has been mum on details about the Lyriq's electric powertrain so far. so we don't know how much horsepower it will make. The ipace, for example, leapt to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds during our testing; expect the Lyriq to provide similar performance.

Range, charging, and battery life

General Motors is launching a line of new EV battery technology with the Lyriq called Ultium. The scalable technology allows the automaker to produce batteries that range in size from 50.0 kWh to 200 kWh, although the largest size is said to be reserved only for large EV pickup trucks such as the upcoming GMC Hummer EV SUT. Cadillac claims that the Lyriq will offer a battery with about 100-kWh worth of capacity and should be capable of driving ranges of mor than 300 miles per charge. DC fast charging capability will be standard but the Lyriq will also be able to charge on home power outlets as well.

So far there's been no word from the EPA on the Lyriq's estimated fuel economy (as expressed in MPGe), but we expect that to become available closer to the SUV's on-sale date. We'll also have the opportunity to put the Lyriq through our 200-mile highway fuel economy test in the future, and when we do we'll update this story with results.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The Lyriq concept vehicle shows a spacious interior with just four seats and a center console that divides the two front and two rear seats, with a touchscreen for the rear seat passengers. We're not sure how much of that will make it to production, and we expect three-across seating the second row. Cadillac says using the dedicated EV-architecture allows for a more airy and open cabin with plenty of space for passengers to get comfortable. More advanced noise cancellation technology is said to reduce road noise inside the cabin, and the interior designers have incorporated surprises such as backlit speaker grilles and hidden storage cubbies.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The Lyriq's dashboard, like the new 2021 Escalade's, is dominated by a giant, 33.0-inch curved OLED display that serves as both the SUV's infotainment system and the driver's gauge display. In the Escalade, the infotainment system can be controlled by a click wheel on the center console, a boon for drivers who aren't fond of touchscreens. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are all expected to be standard features when the Lyriq rolls into Cadillac showrooms. A 19-speaker stereo system from the high-end audio experts at AKG will be offered.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have released crash test results for the Lyriq. Cadillac says the brand's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving technology will be offered as well.
