There’s a reason this is the best seller. What a stunning design this SUV has inside and out. Very elegant and uniquely Cadillac. I was genuinely surprised to like the Optiq as much as I do, but I’m very excited for the release of the larger VISTIQ and Escalade _IQ._

[@jaib1817]

I agree!👍🏾

[@arminpoorfard306]

What i like about GM is they are not cutting the design expenses by sharing the body design in gas and electric version like what BMW does with 4,5 and 7 series. They are spending a lot of money to design and have different body style for their EV's.

[@G-Rated]

@@arminpoorfard306 I agree, their decision to develop a bespoke EV platform from the ground up has paid off exponentially. Took A LOT more money and time to get started but now that production has ramped up _Ultium_ will pay off for *gm* in a huge way.

[@RigginTheRod010]

I disagree. It's dumb to have your good designs for ev and have the gas powered looking bland... They need hybrids also​@@arminpoorfard306

[@RigginTheRod010]

​@@G-Rated they need to just pay Toyota or Honda for their hybrid tech and call it a day. I'd buy HEV before full EV

[@AdamJakowenko]

My retired parents have this car and they love it. Basic a perfect car for people who want comfort and decent luxury in an EV. The only issue is those wheels with the plastic inserts...when it gets hot in the summer that plastic expands and starts to creak and crack, and at low speeds it's really noticable and sounds like you're driving over bubble wrap. Something to be aware of for any potential buyers.

[@SirMikeProvolone]

I love that its a real cadillac. Its not trying to be just another uncomfortable sports car. No im not an old man

[@HiiImChris]

Honestly, i feel the urge to be a bit patriotic and am happy when American brands deliver best in class competitive vehicles. Hyundai and kia have been doing stellar, its good to see cadillac, buick, chevy, etc, releasing competitive beautiful vehicles

[@SirMikeProvolone]

Very true, I just wish Buick didn't lose its identity of a smooth ride, my girlfriend has a 2002 Buick Century and the suspension is awesome, it floats over potholes. And because the suspension is so smooth the car rattles less bangs around less and is quieter in the cabin. And no I'm not an old man I'm a college student

[@MrLSDownliner]

You do know Tesla Y & 3 is the most American built SUV & Car right?

[@dkuhlman2282]

Lyric, built with electric motors made in China.😳

[@MadmaxMusic93]

Exactly why I got 7500 off my long range model 3 2024 lmao 🤣

[@brucekalter4206]

Looks good on the outside; looks great on the inside. Love that color... wish GM would offer it on other brands & less expensive, non-EV cars soon!

[@z5m2]

seems like that's what the the Blazer EV will accomplish

[@LakeLake123]

Looks spectacular in that color! 🎉

[@larrylubin8962]

This is another great overview of a car I am interested in. Wow, Cadillac or GM really did an incredible job designing this car. The color you chose to show is really different and almost back in the day when you had some beautiful colors of cars, like back in the 70"s for example! As someone who has worked with banks to develop easy-to-use web or app financial tools, you guys can do a video on things like Lease, Buy, Buy used, etc. I thought about this when you showed some of the graphs you created and I think adding more of this type of thing adds even more to what you do. Great job, keep doing these.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you, Larry! And we appreciate the ideas

[@kevin_parker6969]

You know guys how I love when you review Cadillac… I already told you about my loyalty and passion to it. You really elaborate its luxury so nice and LYRIQ speaks of itself so elegantly.

[@lordbrennanofsealand5772]

The most desirable and maybe iconic caddie since the 1950s

[@joesinkovits6591]

I actually like the fact that there’s no mechanical release for the glove box.

[@G-Rated]

Me too. Nobody will ever think to break into a glove box with no physical latch or obvious access point.

[@darriontunstall3708]

It’s very nice! I love the crystal headlights and metal speaker grills and the technology!

[@godofdun]

This car is just really pretty, and is absolutely helping to bring back the wagon look...........even if it wasn't intended lol

[@oommenthms2728]

Hollllyyyy!!! That shde of blue is D-licious 🩵

[@BearCoolTX]

Nimbus! Mister.

[@rtcturnemup7028]

“ now that’s a Cadillac “

[@papi1700]

Cadillac did a fantastic job. Now with the recent announcement of the Optic, it has std heated, cooled, massage seats, super cruise and AKG speakers! Cadillac needs to do the same in streamlining the Lyric with standard equipment like the cheaper Optic.

[@livingobject]

I think you guys have a great presentation style. Glad i found this channel

[@CarConfections]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Bobby_Duncan]

U guys forgot to show the self driving mode

[@TalismanPHX]

IP and infotainment screen display is covered in fingerprints. You might want to keep an eyeglass cloth in your filming kit. Excellent review as always 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@nickabbatiello828]

Great video of the Cadillac Lyriq!!! Great job guys!!

[@edamundson743]

We bought this car last weekend. Thanks for the info video. Is there a way to brighten the instrument panel?

[@tyronejones1435]

When are you going to test the AWD. And yes I bought the AWD Lyriq. I know the numbers but how does it feel as opposed the other brands? Nice channel by the way.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! We thought they were sending us the AWD model until they switched it at the last second 😢

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Fantastic video guys.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Yes of course guys & I'm ready to afford this.

[@Arcynite]

Been driving my Sport 3 AWD since the beginning of the year and absolutely love it!

[@fenceman53]

I want one now at the 3 year depreciated price

[@bmbrabus]

I got this colored Lyric and love it! It has been excellent so far! Traded our aged Escalade for this and we’re very happy with it. Is it perfect? No, but it’s a great vehicle which they can expand and improve on. Biggest grip is the piano black trim and the angle of the polished aluminum bezel around the climate controls; the glare from it can be blinding during certain times of the day

[@jameswong5448]

Is the color Nimbus Metallic?

[@bmbrabus]

@@jameswong5448 yes it is 🤙🏼

[@djplonghead5403]

I like the 3 zone climate but more vents and vented 2nd row seats would have been nice.

[@curiously1510]

Referencing "fired up" when starting an EV doesn't seem appropriate 😉. If I had access to at home charging I very likely would have one of these.

[@cheapme1850]

I’m looking at EVs and I will definitely will be looking at this model in a few years on the used market mainly because GM has apparently decided to ditch CarPlay going forward. Hopefully they’ll rethink that decision sooner than later because for many, no CarPlay is a deal killer.

[@tigertreetop]

outstanding report - thank you so much - tony

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@thanhhuynh175]

got my sport 3 in may. loving every minute in this car. Test drove all electric SUV brands (ford, hyundai, acura, lexus, etc. ) and nothing even comes close.

[@rueben44]

It's such an old school thing to do now but I notice everyone starts off the reviews for GM electric vehicles opening the hood. They know it's just a cover but I notice that seems to be the go to starting point. You can't miss what you never had so it is not an issue for me. A nice bonus for sure but it isn't any kind of deal breaker. Now with that done can we talk about that color! OMG it is stunning. You did a great review but I think you are off the mark about some of the functions being in the screen. 1 how many time do we adjust our light switch when you have auto? Be honest. How many time do you open your glove box.....almost never but if you do it is nice to have the security of it being locked out from thieves. They did that stuff excellent so I totally disagree with you on that point.

[@mondayoff8939]

The grill at night made me smile ngl

[@bigjoe330]

Stunning vehicle inside and out. Cadillac 👍🇺🇲❤️

[@scottanthony3426]

I saw on on a dealer lot, and it was surprisingly long. (It's within a few inches of a Toyota Sienna.) Surprising how little cargo space, given the massive size. 21 cubic feet behind the second row is not even close to a Forester, RAV4, CX-5, CX-50, Outback, or CRV. (Not in the same class, of course, but still, these are much smaller outside and have more room inside. I guess they used some for the NBA level rear leg room.) This fall, a smaller Caddy EV will debut. Looks like they did a pretty good job on the EV drivetain.

[@mrairman7]

Great job, guys 😊

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! 😃

[@Makeupsokayy]

I’m really loving this! I want one 😅

[@dustinmorris13]

I absolutely love this vehicle! I was lucky enough to go to the launch up here, and immediately fell in love with it! I would absolutely buy this! It is pure luxury for all ages! I just wish they didn't remove the amber rear signals for North America and made the whole rear lamp units the signals. This is something that really needs to stop happening here.

[@chaching2820]

Can you review the ford bronco if you haven’t already

[@ibrahimjubayer8373]

Amazing presentation ❤

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@aloodena5196]

I'm not a big fan of the exterior, especially the rear end but the interior is top notch. Overall a very good car for the class.

[@faizalharoun3930]

I have had my Lyriq for 7 months now. It's by and large been great. The negatives are that you need to pay an extra $25-50/month for a wifi service to be able to use the Google features, which voice control a lot of the features of the car. So unless you do this the voice control button on your steering wheel is useless. Also if you want to get something out of the glove box, you will need to start the car and go to the screen to unlock it, seems unnecessary .

[@louis7469]

I am hardly a Gm fan. My parents once, years ago, bought a used 1964 Pontiac Parisienne with an inline 6 which was a boat but had old school dna baked in. A cool car. GM has always promised this and that but rarely really delivered the goods. They did produce a few good models over the years as most auto companies invariably do. With this Cadillac they are showing some thinking that reflects the old ways. As has been said it’s not trying to be a sport/European machine. The styling and execution speaks volumes about hard earned lessons, of which they had mostly forgotten over the last 40 years. Never will buy an GM cars but I wish them well with this one. It where they should have pointed the brand years ago.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Happy Tuesday guys!

[@CarConfections]

Happy 🐪 day!

[@tamaralayefagodwin8048]

How will this car do in the winter?

[@susansammy5448]

Exterior looks great, unique styling. Interior is ok.. looks very cadillac brougham like.. LCD is large but the carplay window did not use the full screen, looks off kilter... 196" long is 3 row CUV length, but only 21 cu ft behind 2nd row is tiny...

[@guyg2005]

Look forward to you testing the 2024 Tesla Model 3 for sound level.

[@RfrancisR]

So, your site says the sound level in the Lyriq has a 53.1db sound level, but on this video it sounds like you are saying “50.7” so which is it? I am a bit confused.

[@CarConfections]

The sound level readings are updated regularly but we just haven't switched it yet to this new number

[@RfrancisR]

@@CarConfectionsok thanks!

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

"why is there not a glovebox switch" I want to agree with you, but even that is too much. Why can't I just pull on the glovebox lever and open it??? These glovebox releases have turned something so simple into something complicated.

[@irfanwaseh]

What about spare tire

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@tominmilton]

Love this car. I'm just not ready to go electric. If it were ICE, I'd be all over it. The XT4/5 are ok, but not on the same level in terms of style (in my opinion). I hope this does well for Cadillac.

[@billmarshall2536]

Other reviews I've watched said a lot of the plastics and metals felt thin and/or cheap

[@gwendolynsanders789]

Best car ever

[@roganandrews8265]

long and shorter?

[@thebigone6071]

My boo can buy me this car and I’d be ok with it. It’s not a Bimmer or Benz or Bentley but I can probs use it to pull up to the club with all them lights. A yammed up queen like me still deserves the best tho so he best still get me a Benz!!!!

[@ronniemullis8717]

I’m waiting on the Optiq, the others are too big for two people.

[@bossanova7462]

All Cadillac’s depreciate so fast you would be crazy to buy one. If you need to fix it out of warranty you would need a home equity loan.

[@adamwright9741]

Sorry I got on you about such long videos regarding a vehicle, but, Um... Is it ok if I send this entire video to 'Mr. T' to about twenty years ago? I want to make sure that he (and they) know what might be coming up.. so he (of course) makes sure the companies that DO care not to destroy North America actually get a leg-up? Hmmmmmmmm

[@adamwright9741]

It's a real ask!

[@markweber5278]

I don't see any problems arising in this🤔

[@flunder50]

Saying "fire it up" on an EV is blasphemous

[@SuperBacDoc]

Imagine how cool that car would be with a V8! No head up display and no adaptive cruise as standard on this luxury car? WTF?

[@primeminister66]

ILL vehicle

[@nathanwright8616]

is there a reason why drew is always the driver?

[@jasonbabin1190]

I have always wondered that too

[@curiously1510]

I believe originally it was because Mason was too young for insurance purposes. At this point I'm guessing it's to maintain continuity to the format of their reviews.

[@G-Rated]

So basically, the original door handles on 2023 models that many complained about and claimed were too complicated were actually a much simpler and luxurious method? Got it. 🙄

[@Clarioner1]

For 100+ Kwh battery, that is NOT good range.

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

That's a lot of fingerprints.

[@chrissullivan5752]

@@trumpisastump9382 actually right now hybrid vehicles. Are more practical. Electrical are more deadpan one-sided

[@FoamCrusher]

We considered a Lexus hybrid, but you get twice as many things to go wrong and you lose the extremely low maintenance of an EV …. which is a big thing for me. Other than tire rotations, the FIRST and only service is changing the oil on the electric motor at 100,000 miles! With an 8 year warranty in the lithium battery, I will have sold the car long before then.

[@robertrichardson6904]

But but but no over the air upgrades? You jest. Charging speed? And of course the GM charging network can't be beat. FSD is a joke. Geez.

[@CarConfections]

It can update over the air, like other Ultium platform models

My local chevy has 4 hummer HV's that NO ONE is sniffing at....they been sitting in the same place on the lot for a few months now...apparently 3/4 of them were ordered for customers with a deposit but then backed out when they found out the price tag HAHAHAH

[@cheapme1850]

Apparently they’re selling pretty well. Up to 6k as of March 2024, over 10k in 2023, so basically you’re wrong. Better than a lot of ICE vehicles. The Hummer, at over $125k isn’t for everyone and your dealer probably is trying to gouge or refusing to swap it with another dealer who is able to sell high in cars.

@@mannygonzalez4178 Have you ever used a HUD system. For me, it's one of those things you don't know you need until you get it and then never want to be without it. It's a lot safer to never have to take your eyes off the road to see your speed, driving directions in your line of sight, can tell who is calling on mobile phone, change music / radio station all without ever looking away. Mine even warns of speed and red-light cameras and rough road ahead. I love it. To each his own.
