Cadillac has entered the luxury EV market with the 2023 Lyriq SUV. The automaker has carved a niche for itself by building some of the most stylish and luxurious SUVs, and the all-new Lyriq promises to be no different. Cadillac says that the EV will offer a modern cabin and be available both in dual-motor AWD and single-motor rear-wheel-drive versions.
What to Expect From the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq
The driving range is one of the talking points in the EV market. Despite being a debut electric vehicle, the Lyriq has an impressive range of over 300 miles. This is at par with other heavy hitters such as the Tesla Model X. Built from the ground up, the luxury SUV will ride on General Motors' acclaimed scalable battery architecture.
Undoubtedly, no vehicle in Cadillac's production line has received more buzz than the Lyriq. This shouldn't come as a surprise because the EV is Cadillac's first all-electric offering. With an expected MSRP of $59,000 for the base trim, the Lyriq offers more than what you'll find in similar crossover EVs such as the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-Tron. Furthermore, it banks on the American luxury brand's long-established reputation, so expect it to go toe to toe with its contemporaries.
2023 Cadillac Lyriq Trims
The Lyriq will be available in four trim levels; Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, and Platinum. Cadillac has only revealed the base trim's price so far, but you'll learn more about the prices as the SUV's on-sale date draws closer.
Charging, Battery Life, and Performance
As part of its EV strategy, General Motors will use the all-new Ultium battery technology on the Lyriq. This scalable tech will enable the automaker to mass-produce batteries ranging from 50 kWh to 200 kWh in size. The Lyriq will feature a 100 kWh battery with a range of 300 miles per charge. All trims will have DC fast-charging capability as standard. Also, you'll be able to charge the Lyriq on your home's power outlets.
All trim levels of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq will feature an electric motor on the rear axle. AWD will be optional, but an additional motor will be at the front to drive the wheels. With an expected output of 340 HP, the Lyriq will be among the most powerful EVs on the market.
Although Cadillac is coy about the safety features of the Lyriq, it undoubtedly offers Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving technology. Other notable safety features in the EV will include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist technology, and automated adaptive cruise control.
Interior Features
Cadillac is renowned for its spacious and comfy SUVs, and the Lyriq isn't any different. The concept vehicle was revealed to have four seats only during its launch, with a large center console extending to the rear. Passengers could also access a touch screen mounted on the rear center console. Nevertheless, the production vehicles have adopted the conventional rear bench seat.
The dedicated EV architecture provides for a roomier and more comfortable cabin. The use of active noise cancellation technology also makes the cabin quieter, thus improving overall ride quality. Like its big brother, the Cadillac Escalade, the Lyriq's cabin is dominated by a massive 33-inch curved LED screen. It serves both as the infotainment system and the gauge display.
