Cadillac Lyriq EV (Now Official Thread)
- Thread starter Levi
- Start date
The LYRIQ is based on GM’s next-generation, modular electric vehicle platform and driven by the Ultium propulsion system, allowing Cadillac to deliver customers a variety of range and performance options. With range being one of the biggest factors when it comes to selecting an EV, we’re designing LYRIQ to offer beyond 300 miles of range on a full charge, based on internal testing1. Performance and technology highlights include:
-Charging options that fit a variety of preferences for home, the workplace and on the road — including DC fast charging rates over 150 kilowatts and Level 2 charging rates up to 19 kW2
The back of the LYRIQ looks strange. I like the big gas guzzling V8 Escalade more.

To me this is another instance of the ongoing Caddy styling malfunction, where the Escalade looks good mostly because it's a Chevy with a different grille, and the other Cadillac models have no brand identity. If I had to guess a brand from the photo of the Lyriq above, I'd pretty confidently say "Ford or Lincoln", which is not great for GM.
I agree. I find the latest models (ones with horizontal headlamps) to be rather generic and not easily recognizable as Cadillacs, whereas the older models (which includes the current Escalade), with the bold grille and the vertical headlamp units that wrap up over the front fender, as easily and instantly recognizable as Cadillacs.

Definitely is, but gosh darn the CT5V Blackwing with a 6 speed would be a blast to drive.

Cadillac actually brought to market. Makes zero sense to me, hatch is terrible and the specs are meh but wow a 350k Caddy. Interior is nice .
Interior is Jetsons contemporary. Considering what kind of underwhelming interiors Bentley and Royce offer for the money Celestiq interior offers more. In my oppinion it's just needs to be less digital, not saying it needs to remove digital features but to integrate them better. If you carefully inspect Celestiq interior you can find a lot of similarities with original inspiration series Structural Blue LC500 interior. Not just color but lines and partitions as well. It's not a copy in any way or form but it picked up few things here and there.
