Lots of hate in the comments, but the Lyriq is one of my favorite luxury EV SUV I've driven. I own an Audi e-tron and tested a variety of EVs from XC40 Recharge to Model Ys, and if only Cadillac could have made the 600e4 Sport earlier last year i might have got that instead.

2:45 so glad you test fort feet under the front seat room THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR REAR SEAT COMFORT. Most reviewers show us how much room there is from our knees to the back seat which is USELESS. We don’t stretch out our knees, we stretch out our legs which requires foot space under the front seats. So thank you for that!!!! You would think more reviewers would realize this but surprisingly they don’t. How clueless can they be?????!!!!🤦♂️
@Wasabi9111 Місяць тому
I totally agree w you. I don’t understand why so many cars don’t have feet room. My rivian is huge on the outside but both rear knee and feet room is extremely limited and the kids complaint sitting behind my tall husband. In our much smaller prior Ioniq 5, it had much more rear knee and feet room and the kids much prefer it over the rivian.

I finally got the one that I ordered, a 2024 all wheel drive ...loaded... Upgraded to each and every available option there was. Got the triple coat white with the Heather Gray interior with the blue pin stripping.It's absolutely breath-taking and the big 22 inch wheels.Charcoal/Black not silver!!! Charcoal/black just gorgeous!! Pin stripping on the exterior to match the beautiful wheels. This car is rock solid. It is the heaviest and the most desirable vehicle I have ever driven. It feels so incredibly safe! I have neon pinstriping on all of the doors which has a customized color wheel setting on the dash, to make those neon pin stripes, any color I'd like them to be. I prefer the neon blue, but I can make them orange or pink or white or yellow or any color I want! The AWD has 500HP, just a ROCKET SHIP when accelerating!🏁🏁 In appearance and performance, this car is a real head turner! I kept my XT4, mostly because they weren't gonna give me anything fair for a trade in, and I drove that the other day after being in this car for a month. I now call the XT4, 'my dog car'...It is SUCH a DOG compared to The Lyriq

@_dmfd Місяць тому
I do like the side profile of this, it kinda has a wagon-esque silhouette which is always great. Gotta love the GM master quality rattles creaks on a $70K+ brand new Cadillac tho 😅 It does look nice & modern tho. This one as tested is only about $10K more than the Audi A4 Allroad Prestige w/ Black Optics I ordered back in December & it for sure does look a good bit more modern but it's nice that it retains some physical switches for climate & stuff. That's the main reason I ordered my A4 Allroad but the B9.5 is definetely starting to show its age for a $60K wagon. The Audi absolutely has significantly better build quality tho. I can't wait for it to arrive

Part of it is probably the huge wheels. I'd bet that a base model probably doesn't rattle at all. After owning vehicles with large wheels/low profile tires, I was surprised by how much extra vibration from poor pavement can get through with large wheels. Even having the correct tire pressure can make a huge difference.

This is such a nice car, liked my test ride overall, right amount of stiffness in the suspension that presents a smooth ride. It gets many things right, and then does bunch of things completely wrong as well. Driver seat, awfully bad. Seat doesnt have any depth, 4-5 inches of my thigh sits outside, legs unable to rest unless I push my seat all the way back. Back center hard and hits the spine. This is one of the worst seats I have ever experienced in a car. Next, poor visibility in the back side of the car, lots of blind spots, wide headrest because of speakers, tiny rear windshield, interiors appear dull and dark in the back, side and rear view mirrors are small again. Whats with the glove box button, seriously 2 levels deep inside the dashboard screen. Not sure what happened here, the engineers suddenly stopped thinking? Few other things, can easily accomodate a frunk but they decided to save some plastic. Tapered screen makes carplay appear smaller in a embedded window. Odd as they could have just left the dashscreen rectangular. I am yet to decide as to me the deal breaker are the seats comfort which simply isnt there.
