Editor's Analysis & Field Notes
The Cadillac Lyriq spearheads the historic American marque’s electric transition with dramatic style and lavish appointments. Built on GM’s Ultium battery architecture with a 102 kWh pack, single-motor rear-drive models yield 314 miles of EPA range, while dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions bump output to 500 horsepower. Peak DC fast charging reaches 190 kW, replenishing up to 77 miles in 10 minutes. The centerpiece of the interior is a single, uninterrupted 33-inch curved 9K LED display accompanied by open-pore laser-etched wood and knurled metal accents. On the highway, GM’s optional Super Cruise provides true hands-free automated driving across hundreds of thousands of mapped highway miles with unmatched confidence. It is a triumphant modern American luxury cruiser.
