Living With A $73,000 Cadillac LYRIQ | + Road Trip Experience!

[@craigzellner4159]

Great review. I have a 2024 Luxury 2 awd Lyriq and I have seen all of the glitches that you have experienced plus a few others. A soft reset fixed the issue each time so far. Just hold the phone hang up button for 15 seconds and let the system reset. NOTE: Do not press the factory reset button on the screen unless you want to log in again. This vehicle is just like a smart phone that you can drive. I wonder if parking garages can cause the cameras to stop working correctly. Our Lyriq did exactly the same thing after spending 6 hours in a parking garage. A Reboot fixed it. The public recharge slow down happened to us also. It seems to happen when more cars plug in. It did not seem like the Lyriq was the cause for us. The super cruise is pretty smart and is not available sometimes for different reasons. I think it can see orange barrels because it always notify the driver that we are entering a construction zone when they are around. If super cruise is on and the road is not blocked it stays active and cautions the driver. I do not think it will engage if it was not active when you enter the construction zone. Thanks for the detailed review.

How do you like this car? I'm thinking about the Escalade IQ when it releases.

[@kevinforth7618]

In my 2nd week with my Lyriq Luxury dual-motor AWD. So far, no issues. It's my first EV, so I'm still on the learning curve. I'm quite happy with the Lyriq so far and am looking forward to a long trip this weekend.

[@mrpmj00]

Glad Lyriq still has Apple Carplay. No Apple Carplay is a no sale for me. ------- I upgraded from a 2014 Toyota Highlander to a 2024 Cadillac XT4 with Apple Carplay! (the 2024 highlander drove the same and is pretty much the same chasis and interior so it's boring). The Cadillac XT4 has no turbo lag that I can feel. Every other car that I test drove had turbo lag, whether short or long...Mercedes GLC300 (least turbo lag), BMW X3 (a little more turbo lag), Porsche Macan S (even more turbo lag), Honda (way too much turbo lag). The Cadillac has these features that KZbinrs miss: - lighted logo behind the dashboard - pulsating safety seat (most cars only beep) - left behind child in the rear seat alert - capless fuel tank (like my 2017 Corvette C7 ) - umbrella storage in the doors (like Rolls Royce) - active noise cancellation (like my 2017 Corvette C7 with Bose) - power passenger seat with lumbar - free 5G hotspot - stop/start feature is the smoothest I’ve ever experienced that I don't even notice it. My other car is a 2017 Corvette Stingray in stickshift.

You are plugging in a power supply. The charger is built into the car. I charge my Lyriq, RAV4 Prime, e-bike, iPhone and iPad 100%. After a year the Lyriq is getting 378 miles on a full charge and the RAV4 Prime went from 42 to 55 miles on a full charge. My off-peak electric charge is $.045 per kw, that’s about 1.4 cents per mile.

[@paulm6481]

It is perfect for a young upcoming couple like you two. You should consider leasing it.

[@ModernCowboy78]

I just spent 1400 miles with supercruise and it was awesome.

[@YvesPeterRalala]

Blazer EV owner, I completely forgot that I do not have anymore Android auto and Apple car play, because it has everything and Google Play apps can be installed, no phone, no problem. 1-having the battery percentage integrated in Google Map helps a lot, not the case if you Android auto 2-having the direction in the HUD also helps, not the case if you use Android auto. 3-Music? I can install Spotify or KZbin music on the system 4-Waze to announce police or hazard? I can install it Tell me one single thing, the car cannot have but the Android auto can, of course it cannot have Apple navigation 😂😂

[@MobiusGT]

are other music apps available? I swap around between apple music, tidal, spotify and yt music

[@youtubesurfer1533]

what a beauty indeed! I loved Escalade’s interior and this is a lite piece of that interior! lovely Caddy!

[@bobmobley2268]

A good fair review. You point out the main issues and realize it’s a good car. Apple Wireless CarPlay is a major issue as are the occasional Green Screens (sometimes black) and charging speed can be poor. What you did not mention is the obstructive glare from the dash on bright sunny days; still trying to figure out solution and the poor speed of the wipers. Hope Cadillac is listening!

[@revandrem]

Love my 2024 Lux 2 AWD Lyriq but the software is annoying. It indeed is both buggy and beautiful.

[@jimphillips2004]

What a great review. I looked thru at least 4 other reviews that kept refocusing back to aesthetics. Your review is right on point.

[@toddbruce9752]

Excellent review and great comment section with user experiences. I am ready to changeover to at least one EV in our fleet of five ICE vehicles, but it seems like the curve of improvement in the next few years will offset what I might save now buying them before they are more popular. It is my personality but software glitches or HVAC issues would DRIVE ME CRAZY! Plus, while the EV MAY be more environmentally friendly, as I ask my EV promoting friends, is it better for the environment for me to buy a new EV now or simply keep driving an ICE built 6 years ago and maintaining it well. Manufacturing a new car is not environmentally friendly, after all. Thanks for this, Eddie.

I am looking to downside from my 2018 Escalade. I looked at one of the Lyriq's at my Cadillac dealer. There is no rear space and my service advisor told me don't buy a first year model because of all the issues.

[@PerryTaylz]

I have the 2024 Lux 1 RWD (no Super Cruise) and have too experienced some of the glitches. I still love the car and have enjoyed my first foray into having an electric car. Life was made much easier by having a charging station installed at the house when local. I don't miss the gas stations at all. We'll see how things go for a long road trip.

[@20rpsupreme]

How much has your power/electric bill increased with the home charging station?

[@richardmorris7063]

I'm only at gas stations once a month for ten minutes,how much time do you spend at charging stations? Even if you have one in you're home there's no getting around the hassles of different charging stations.

[@toddbruce9752]

@@20rpsupreme Her experience won't matter. This is a function of how much you drive and recharge at home along with your rate/ kwh. Obviously those items can vary widely; however it will almost certainly be less than buying gasoline. For example- if you drove around 1200 miles per month and the Lyriq was getting around 2.6 miles per kw (many do better than that), you would be using about 460 kw/month. At $.15/kwh, you're paying about .15x460 or $70/month for the electric to drive. Some utilities have off peak charging rates, so you can charge overnight at a lower rate, likewise many have peak rates where they charge 2-3x price per kw at peak use times. You can program your home charger for what time you want it to charge. On the road, you'll have to pay 2-3x that price for high speed charging for road trips and such, but that sort of defeats the purpose of EVs and should be reserved for longer road trips and for charging just enough to get you to a slower/destination/your garage charger. Currently you're mostly avoiding road taxes due to the taxes added to gasoline that aren't tacked on to electricity, though some states charge more for registration, which is fair considering the damage heavy EVs can do to highways relative to lighter cars. Another factor less discussed is the lower maintenance costs- no oil to change, longer brake life, no air filters, spark plugs, emissions, etc. You can save battery life by precooling and preheating while still plugged in, etc. Transportation is changing rapidly. It will be interesting to see how things look in 10-20 years.

[@RegularDudeDYI]

@@richardmorris7063 I personally never charge at public stations. If you can afford a Lyric you probably have a home with a garage and can charge it at home. The cost to charge at home is much cheaper than charging at a public charger. The cheapest fast chargers are around 36¢/KW, vs at home I would pay between 17$/KW - 26¢/KW, depending on what tier I fall into that month. If you are someone who does a lot of long road trips, then you may want to look at the Teslas, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Porches. They charge in a much shorter time. For instance the Ionic 6 goest from 10% - 80% in 18 minutes and get over 350 mile in range. So drive for about 4.5 hours stop and use the restroom and get a snack and when you come out, your car is ready to go.

[@paulm6481]

She is right about interior being too light.

[@BLAISEDAHL96]

I’m looking forward to whenever GM integrates NACS into their EV lineup. I’m curious to see how smoothly the OS can access the Tesla charging system (via API).

I have been driving the same color for more than a month, i love this car and everyone is thinking this car is worth at 100k :)

[@amyoneelse]

Don't go far as you will be hitting up a station soon. Also what does one do when there is a stop in a freeway for several hours? California fires and accidents though mountains this happens often. I dropped the idea of getting this as if you have ever seen a line two miles long to exit a freeway. You know this car isn't one you want to rely on to take to a California freeway

[@richardmorris7063]

Idk,it seems like saying 314 mi. range is a misnomer if you have to charge at 240. And all the rest of it,the different charging stations plus I'd want to have one in my garage how much is that? I'm happy w/ my XT5, I use about 40$ worth of gas a month...I'm good

[@oscarreynaable]

Great review man. I cant find it but I assume this doesnt come with built-in dashcams like Tesla?

[@Donald_Shaw]

[@ferdiejpacheco5613]

Speaking of, "Arizona; when its 110"...I heard in 2023 that the AC was pathetic. I gave it time to deal with the complaints...I went on a 110 day in Palm Springs and test drove a two-engine one. Even after 15 min of driving the AC of full blast got barely cool. Even the salesman was embarrassed. Even gets cold after 5 min in my 15 yo like new Jaguar... the Lyric was a massive turnoff. Next... the Escalade EV (they called from the dealer--theres one to test drive). The steering in the Lyric was like a 75 Lincoln (awful). Getting back in my Jaguar was heaven.

I have a 24 LUX 2. Lyric is gorgeous but, only new car I have ever owned that the right side ac go”s out randomly then the rest of the ac cools very poorly. Had it two months it’s been in the shop almost a month of ownership. The wireless car charger does not work. Anti theft system malfunction all modules loss communication with the vehicle. First they tried some update on the ac, then they tried telling me the ac is designed to shut off if the electric battery senses it’s too hot. So 75k and the ac won’t function in heat? Also they told me Apple made the phone and GM made the car so don’t ask for that to be fixed. Had to try another local dealer. Every other car I have owned the wireless charger has worked, BMW ETC. DONT BUY THIS JUNK.
