The exterior of the Lyriq stands out with its futuristic aesthetic, characterized by a long hood, short overhangs, and a high window line. The front fascia replaces a traditional grille with an illuminated black crystal shield and distinctive split-level LED lighting. Flush door handles improve aerodynamics, while the rear styling is finished with a prominent spoiler over the rear glass. The SUV rides on standard 20-inch alloy wheels, with larger 22-inch options available.
Interior
Inside, the cabin focuses on luxury and modern minimalism, utilizing materials like leather, aluminum, and laser-etched wood trim.

The steering wheel features touch-sensitive controls, and the center console houses a unique joystick gear selector. Cargo capacity is generous, offering 793 liters of space behind the rear seats, which expands to 1,723 liters when folded down.
Performance
Power comes from a 102 kWh battery pack across the lineup. The rear-wheel-drive version produces 347 horsepower and 440 Nm of torque, while the all-wheel-drive dual-motor setup increases output to 510 horsepower and 610 Nm. This setup provides an estimated range of over 480 kilometers on a single charge. For quick top-ups, the Lyriq supports 190 kW DC fast charging, capable of adding around 122 kilometers of range in roughly ten minutes.
Practicality
As a mid-size SUV, the Lyriq is well-suited for family use and daily commuting. The long wheelbase maximizes interior passenger volume, providing comfortable seating for five. With 793 liters of standard cargo space, it easily accommodates groceries, luggage, and larger items, making it highly practical for a variety of lifestyles. A ground clearance of 178 mm allows for confident navigation over typical urban obstacles.
Safety and tech
Cadillac equips the Lyriq with a strong suite of technology and convenience features. Keyless entry can be managed via a smartphone app, and the infotainment system is paired with a premium AKG audio system featuring 19 speakers. For highway driving, the vehicle is available with the Super Cruise semi-autonomous hands-free driving assistance system.
Buyer notes
Buyers considering the Lyriq should weigh the difference in performance between the RWD and AWD models, as the dual-motor version offers significantly more power. While the 102 kWh battery is standard, the exact driving range may vary slightly between drivetrains.
