Cadillac Returns to Europe. Specifically, with the Lyriq, A Five-Meter-Long Luxury SUV with 528 HP and A 102 kWh battery. Read in this test if it’s any good.
Is this a new attempt by cadillac to score in Europe?
Cadillac Has Tried Several Times on the Old Continent, not so long ago with the ats, CTS, and recently the xt4. Unfortunately, it was a success. But now the chic American brand is making a new attempt. Of course, The Lyriq is Large, at Least by Our Standards. The Model is Five Meters Long, 1.98 Wide, and 1.62 High. With its angular lines, it looks exotic, and the imposing grille also attracts attention. With a Little Imagination, You Can See Certain Stylistic Similarities To The Unforgettable Jensen Interceptor from the C-Pillars. In any case, this cadillac is an eye-catcher; People look at it. And it is definitely in its place in the parking lot in front of the golf club.
Is the Cadillac Lyriq a Spacious Car?
As Expected, The Lyriq Offers a Lot Of Space, Especialy in The Front. The Rear Seat also sacrifices a Sea of Space, separate from the Modest Headroom. People who are 1.85 Meters or Taller Are Better Off Sitting in the Front. Those are the best seats anyway: large, comfortable seats with wonderful soft leather and heating, ventilation, and massage function. The Rear Seat is also QUITE COMFORTABLE In principle, but the seat could have leg a bit longer. The Luggage Space has a capacity of 588 to a maximum or 1,687 liters. Given its size, that is not particularly much. For Example, The Consider Minor BMW X3 AT 4.76 Meters Fits 570 to 1,700 Liters of LugGage.
Is there definitely wood in the interior, after all, it is a cadillac?
The interior of the lyriq is charming, quirky, and very elegant. Cadillac has not skimped on materials: we see high-gloss panels, chrome, leather, and real wood in abundance. In Addition, The Surfaces Feel Soft. Striking is the screen with a diameter of no less than 33 inches. It is a real widescreen display that, unlike some other brands, is not composed of two or more screens. The Graphics and Appearance of the Multimedia Display are Beautiful, and the Icons Are Pleasantly Large, But The Menu Structure is Rather Complicated. You can operate the lyriq via the touchscreen or with the controller on the center console, which is inspired by the BMW IDRIVE System. Convenient: The Automatic Climate Control With Three Zones (Standard) Has An Extra Control Panel.
Anything Else Special?
There are indeed a few special features: The Cadillac has the consumption back in km/kWh – following the consumption indication common in the US miles per gallon (MPG). Lovers of American Cars will undoubtedly appreciate that, but it takes some getting used to. Furthermore, IT only shows the energy level in the battery pack approachesely and in Large Steps: 100 percent, 50 percent, 0 percent. You can only Request the Exact Position Using the Command ‘Okay, Google’.
What about the technology of the lyriq?
Does this cadillac also drive American?
The One-Pedal Mode is pleasant, in which the Cadillac Comes to a Smooth and Reliable standstill. The test car weighs no less than 2.7 tons, and you can feel that while driving. It Feels Heavy and Massive. The Suspension is on the soft side, which makes it lean QUITE A BIT, Without us wanting to call the suspension weak. IT provides a relaxed Driving Experience. The Steering is also typically American: indirect, completely decoupled, and without contact with the road – but that suits this car. The battery has a capacity of 102 kWh, with which the lyriq recorded a range of 366 kilometers in the test. Consumption was 31.4 kWh/100 km. In other words, it chases the power through it at a high pace. But did you expect something different?
Should it come to the Netherlands?
An electric car from cadillac, that takes some getting used to. But the lyriq brings the typical characteristics of an american car – a generous size, a lot of power, and comfort – to the electric age. And we can certainly appreciate that. It is Certain that the Lyriq is coming to Europe, but Whether it will also be avia will in the Netherlands is Still Questionable.
