The new all-electric Cadillac Lyriq is the linchpin of Cadillac’s future -an electric luxury SUV that serves aristocratic performance without the possession of a Swiss account. An exciting and enormous product that is an artful equilibrium of agility, affluence and affordability.
However, if you’re looking for perfection in its menu, we are sorry to inform you that it’s a god’s dish that is not served here.
In layman’s terms, this four wheel luxury electric vehicle from Cadillac has a flaw that lies under its sculpted silhouette that simply proves that even “brilliance bears the blemish”.
So, as you’re Advisowheels’s valued subscriber, let us unpack Lyriq shortcoming for you!
On paper, the all new Cadillac Lyriq is marketed as a roomier luxury SUV. But when
Our automobile experts and stalwarts examined it thoroughly and observed that the new Cadillac Lyriq’s rear headroom feels compromised or say not apt enough for the taller passengers.
Especially when it is positioned squarely against its German counterparts.
A subtle inadequateness that reminds us that plush doesn’t always equal space. In other words, when you sign up for Lyriq, you will get serenity, tech and visual flair but not quite the generous, spacious interior you might expect from a luxury SUV.
But this mismatch between brand promise and real-world usability doesn’t instantly make it a dealbreaker.
The Cadillac Lyric still stands out in its respective segment by offering on-road presence, freedom from fuel anxiety and a lounge-like interior signaling premium at a price point that undercuts the most lavish rivals and technology.
Or as the executive director of Cadillac Design, Andrew Smith said, “Lyriq represents a clean-sheet design that sets the standard for the future for Cadillac”.
