They have redesigned the door handles for 2024, they now present similar to how the EV6 does. Then you just pull them to open the doors. Great video!

I've been waiting for this review! Happy to see my fav youtube couple put out outstanding content so often!

I looked at one a couple of months ago, two issues for me, yes those door handles are an issue and the door to the charging port felt very flimsy and the door opening down means it's going to take hits. Loved the fact that there are physical buttons for the HVAC.

This is why people watch car reviews, to get useful information on why to buy a certain vehicle or another! Features and benefits along with educated opinions on quality, fit and finish!!! You are the BEST!!

@BoriVakorn I love Cadillacs and have bought launch models before. However, Lyriq has been having a lot of issues, like a lot. It drives well, and it's luxurious, but only if it is reliable. I am having some reliability issues as it has been more with the dealership service than my garage 🙃

You guys do such a great job on your reviews. Thank you!

This is the best looking EV on the market IMO

When comparing my 2023 Lyriq 600e4 to previous cars (Porche's, Audi's, Continental's), the Lyriq is my "so-so" car. SO ... quiet; SO ... smooth; SO ... powerful; SO ... smart; and SO ... relaxing (when using SuperCruise)! This is a MUST car to test drive when buying a new car. In actual use, door handles are fine and the rear wiper has not been missed. Both are academic issues.

This has to be the the best looking Caddy out there. Looks like a strong lifted wagon which I'm perfectly ok with.

Great review as always! Thank you!

Oh, baby!! That is a Cadillac!! It makes Audi, BMW, and MB look bland. Plush and posh!! I looks like a corporate jet interior!! The rear wiper has been replaced with a rear spoiler that directs air flow down onto the rear windshield. You both look great in it!!

Love the design. It’s like modern Art Deco. ❤

I’m really excited for the reviews of the blazer and equinox! Thanks for the Lyriq review!

I hope they are finally getting their act together. I ordered one last year and it was a very bad experience. The dealer didn't contact me. After multiple tries I went down to visit them and the rep didn't know much but allow me to configure one. They also informed me that I had to take their $2,000 customer car package that included things like OIL CHANGES, really! They didn't even call me when GM came in to allow test drives. So when Tesla dropped the price on the Model Y I purchased one.

You gave the LYRIQ a great review. It is nice that a "domestic" manufacturer did such a nice job on the design and implementation. I have a cousin that has one ordered. He is a Cadillac fan. His cabin at the lake is about 250 km away from his home. So that would be 500 km for a round trip. . . . oops for the winter. He might have to stop for a coffee, especially in the winter. 😮 He tells me that I am old fashioned. Well, what do you call wearing mitts in the LYRIC in the winter to extend the range a bit more? 😂

I feel like as far as styling, options and power Cadillac has been in the zone for a while now. Great review

Great review as usual. Would like if you could present a comparison chart or graphic for cargo capacity and legroom between the current car you're reviewing, the competitord, and your four alternatives presented later in the video.

I don’t you ever owned a Model Y.

Thanks for a great review of a vehicle I've been waiting to see reviewed. I wonder if those cargo space numbers are mostly a result of the highly sloped roofline, and in the real world won't actually be smaller effectively speaking. What I'm trying to say is, I don't load cargo higher than the back of the rear seat, so if I measured the depth and width of this Lyriq, I bet it's just as many *square* feet, which is what I'm mostly interested in. I don't suppose you measured the cargo space did you? I think that would be a great bit of extra information. Thanks again!

i got the first one sold in BC Canada and I Really Love it !! I really wasn't a Fan of Electric Car Though !! I Had Gas Engine Cadillac Before and I was Impressed Then But I Am Really Impressed With Lyriq.

Nice intro to all the bells and whistles now just how long does it take to charge? Charging stations around the country?

1990 Miata with all options, package B in the US, was first Miata with the speakers in the headrests... and the first year of the Miata, so it has been available on them from the beginning. In markets that didn't get that option it was available in 1991 on the SE (BRG).

what a beautiful car

I saw one in Dundarave recently. Very nice in real life!

I think most people are being silly regarding range. 300 miles of range takes care of over 98% of personal driving. Forcing manufacturers to keep pushing battery ranges is hurting the proliferation of EVs of more moderately priced cars. Charging options are the easiest thing to expand. We need to get more inexpensive EVs out there and really tackle climate change.

16:03 the on-board charger size influences home Level 2 charging only. It is not being used for fast DC charging where the energy flows directly to the battery.

Beautiful car

It's really beautiful for an American car (North American for you Canadians), it will definitely sell well.

Many things to like: front side views are great: the rear is a large bustle. am sure its a nice ride.

I am unconcerned about reliability - I've owned (and still do) Cadillacs and they're very good. Finally - I understand that GM has redesigned the door handles for the 2024 MY vehicles so they will pop out when the car detects the fob nearby.

Nobody does driving dynamics better than _Cadillac._ People have compared the ride quality of the Lyriq to a Rolls Royce but simultaneously sporty and planted. That’s due to pure driving dynamics as the Lyriq doesn’t ride on air suspension or any active suspension at all. The Acura may be on the stiffer side and have a sportier characteristic, closer to the tuning of what the Chevrolet Blazer EV may be.

How does the heat pump defrost the "outdoor" coil?

Every time I see this car Labrinth's song for it pops in my head.

It’s a tremendous looking car. Inside and out. I think Cadillac has a real winter here, but not yet. When I test drove a 24’ the road noise (that’s piped in) is ridiculous and when you thankfully “turn it off” (which is just turning it down) it just sounds like something is wrong with the car. It handles incredibly stiff, but I will say the one pedal driving is the best I’ve driven. (I’ve had two Tesla’s and have driven about 12 EV’s at various times) The hatchback is very hard to see out of. They definitely need to put the option to always have your back camera up like Tesla does. The ride is pretty rugged on the road, but these are only minor tweaks that can be fixed to be honest. I would imagine the 2026 model will be one of the best/most requested EV’s on the road.

Great honest review. Nothing wrong with doing the same as Mercedes, let's face it. But is it available Mary Barra Blue? I see lip stick red is available.

If they test drive it, you can be assured they will recommend it! Everything they drive is wonderful.

However, I just had my XTS in for service and they they gave me a Lyriq loaner. The door handle are the new pop-out and I hate them. They feel like the handle on a shed door!.

Maybe you could do a video on CHARGING 101. I think most people (like me) just don't understand all of the different charging types ie. level 1, level 2 etc etc. Oh, and Cadillac just announced a smaller EV roughly the size of the XT5. Now that just might be the best deal on a Cadillac EV. You two do the best and most complete reviews. Thank you! Rick in Seattle

I really love Cadillac. I really hated the Wait List. It created more stress and frustration in waiting to make a decision. I ultimately had to go to another Maker, a European Maker.........Audi. Cadillac rushed the car, before working out the Ultium battery issue and getting basic parts. It left Sales in a bind. I leased my car to try out EV. I'll have to find a way to get out of the lease and change Makers without losing my wallet in 3 years.

I thought this was going to be a great EV, had a deposit on one, but as this was going to be our long distance road tripper, the recent poor CCS fast DC charging across Canada, we opted for a Tesla Model Y long Range AWD. Might still go back to this car now that GM has pleged to use Tesla's NACS charging port starting in 2025 EVs, that would be a hit for road tripping in Luxury, style, and quiet comfort! It is a truly great car and the software is just behind Tesla's great system, you cannot beat Goggle Automotive in an EV!
