5 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Cadillac Lyriq in 2023 - Quick Buyer's Guide

we had heard for a while of General Motors developments when it pertained to engineering platforms and Battery technology for their new line of electric vehicles that would far exceed what the Chevrolet bolt was able to achieve as the first mainstream and high volume selling EV as with any business altering chefs there was skepticism surrounding electrification for Cadillac but those concerns were quickly put to rest when the lyric made his debut in 2022 with manufacturers all trying to get a foothold in this segment it does feel that for some competitors the products were rushed missing key elements that buyers are demanding such as range and performance the Cadillac lyric is full of surprises and in fact exceeds expectations and in some cases has set the bar for what an EV should be in the first half of this decade so here are five reasons why you should buy a Cadillac lyric in 2023 one of Cadillac's weakest points throughout the years was the lack of intuitive and appealing interior technology that never truly fit the mold of a luxury vehicle nor met the expectations of car Shoppers in this market the shared infotainment system with other GM products and lack of a full digital gauge cluster for most of Cadillac's lineup can easily be connected to the brand stunted growth in the modern age but now for the lyric it's received the exact same dashboard layout that can be found in the Escalade the curved 33 inch screen that connects both the user interface and digital display is unquestionably one of the most futuristic setups currently in the EV world and with the gauge cluster being customizable there's an attention to detail that we had never seen from Cadillac before which we believe is why there's so much positivity surrounding the lyric then moving over to the infotainment system you have an all new touchscreen that will be making its way under other Cadillac Products in the near future and while you do receive Apple carplay and Android auto compatibility this user interface is Google based and will be seeing more of this from GM down the road great to see for the next generation of Cadillac Vehicles is that the rotary dial and quick access buttons return to pair up with this head unit helping out with the learning curve new buyers will experience as its user interface is very thorough and in-depth and will be home to key settings such as the one pedal drive function park assist and drive mode selector while you can adjust the climb control settings through the touchscreen mounted below are the row of physical buttons to adjust airflow the Dual Zone temperature AC and front and rear defrosters lastly you will have the ability to customize the ambient lighting to help set the mood and as expected you will have a variety of camera angles to choose from to provide better visibility when parting the lyric [Music] where the lyric compresses and quite frankly stuns the most is with this futuristic styling and since having an active Grille is unnecessary with a lack of an internal combustion engine under the hood the design team got creative as you approach the lyric all the lights from the turn signal indicators to the LED daytime running lights and headlights and The Grille itself do an interactive light show with elements taken from the Escalade that we had featured a few years ago falling in line with the rest of the Cadillac lineup there are cosmetic styling cues they'll be accustomed to seeing on your gas powered model and paying homage to the past is the Chrome accents that gives the lyric a classy and sophisticated appearance lastly and a minor touch that elevates the design even further the Cadillac emblem also illuminates which overall aesthetically pushes the brand to new heights as we've never seen Cadillac go into such detail before with their gas powered vehicles then coming around on the back the light show continues for the rear fascia as the taillights wrap around the c-pillars and work their way into the liftgate interestingly enough both the main and secondary lights are home to the indicators which isn't typically seen on vehicles with split housings as captivating as the front fascia is the sportback design with the gloss black contrasting accents makes the lyric look very upscale and with a sharp yet free-flowing Body Lines we're getting a glimpse of what the next generation of Cadillac Products will look like while in the present saying this Eevee apart from all the other vehicles in the lineup to make a bull statement to competitors for many Brands right now that are transitioning to Electric propulsion there's a lot of apprehension surrounding the unknowns of how electrification will impact driving Dynamics performance and overall engagement what we do know is that instant torque and a lower center of gravity will play right into the hands of luxury manufacturers as EVS tend to ride smoother do the added weight of electric motors and Battery however it's a bit of a mystery for companies like BMW who've prided themselves on offering sports car like qualities even for their mainstream Vehicles Cadillac on the other hand has a luxury first pedigree especially for long time buyers who are driving DeVilles and El Dorados back in the day and it's the lyric that in a sense brings back the opulent ride quality and Persona that's been missing from this manufacturer for the last decade or two since the model we had featured was a debut Edition powering our lyric was a single electric motor producing 340 horsepower and unit 25 pound-fear torque and with that comes a 0-60 time of under 6 seconds for 2024 models you can't opt for dual electric motors which obviously compare better to other EVS in this market such as a Tesla Model X and Y BMW IX and Mercedes-Benz eqe SUV while not necessarily being a standout in terms of having sporty characteristics or having the ability to tackle sharp Corners with a minimal amount of body roll its onward demeanor is more reflective of an EV priced around 80 grand and above as its composure and soft suspension gives drivers a sophisticated Driving Experience that quite frankly isn't seen from Cadillac outside of the Escalade even better models with a single electric motor receive over 300 miles of range making the lyric a crossover that you can commute with on a daily basis there was once a time when Cadillac was the dream brand for Americans the company that consumers aspire to one day walking into a showroom and purchasing the very best from Detroit after the Germans surged into the U.S market in the 90s Brands like Cadillac started to take a back seat to BMW and Mercedes-Benz in 2023 the lyric has the potential to steer this manufacturer towards a brighter future as a driving environment interior quality and comfort are Miles Ahead of what we see from their gas powered models when you factor in the starting price of just under sixty thousand dollars and all the features that are available for the three trim levels for 2024 Cadillac is making a bold statement while the lyric may not compete in the performance Department against Tesla it most certainly impresses with its premium luxury quality and state-of-the-art design both inside and out time will only tell but Cadillac is positioning themselves to redefine American luxury and the lyric might be the new Benchmark for us brands in the EV Market General Motors has made it clear that the future of the company is to go electric which does have purest and enthusiasts disappointed for Cadillac embracing this new era with open arms seems to be making more sense now that the lyric has arrived in recent years Cadillac has been in the shadows of German automakers and even in 2023 Americans are more keen to opt for Lexus or Acura but the EV world is filled with potential especially with Outsiders like Tesla and rivion claiming market share from Legacy brands but with the lyric Cadillac has a legitimate product that could very well be a game changer for vehicles priced around seventy thousand dollars for 2023 it's designed both the exterior and interior is a major leap for GM as a whole and with its standard range exceeding 300 miles it meets the demands of interested consumers making the lyric a serious consideration for those looking for a luxury EV IL enjoyed this quick buyer's
