Cadillac is entering the EV space with a BANG. The new LYRIQ has almost superhero-like stylings, a comfortable drive, and a surprisingly accessible price. Will Alex be impressed or is this car too big and heavy to be a sensible daily-driver?

As you perhaps review more larger and heavier electric vehicles, it would be good to give attention to energy efficiency. It seems that everyone only cares about range, and considers an electric vehicle to be environmentally friendly by its electric merit alone. That's gotta change at some point.

[@benfuct5880]

Educated viewpoint right here^

[@jomeyqmalone]

Yup. The actual range on this SUV seems to be about the same as my old Chevy Bolt, despite the battery here being 50% bigger. Then there's the electric Hummer...

[@alvaromachado1388]

EVs rn are only "green" in the marketing material except for the citroen oli, and that's only a concept car Too much nonsense that will only turn into e waste (like the 3000 screens) A joke in repairability hindering their long-term usage, and as you mentioned, the weight

[@therodyman700]

It's because the "best" ev's right now don't even come close to the range of petrol or diesel cars. Which for city people isn't an issue but for people that travel alot or like me have to somtimes drive 400 - 800 km a day, EV's are not an option. range is a killer for all EV's worry about energy efficiency when EV's can do petrol/diesel ranges and the energy doesn't get created with coal power plants

[@Michael-wo6ld]

That's only really a concern if you live somewhere that doesn't use lots of renewable energy. In the PNW we mostly use hydropower, so the energy efficiency of a car is not a huge concern.

Also, I've never truly understood why they would spend so much money on Sat Nav systems, custom apps etc. when someone can just plug in their phone. Surely the right way to go is phasing IN full phone integration?

There are some kinks they are working out. OTA was supposed to be working but still had to bring to dealer to get the 360 camera activated. But overall he loves it.

[@CockatooDude]

THANK YOU for measuring the in-car audio system! Savagegeese used to do it but then they stopped. If you're open to constructive criticism though, I'd have two requests. The first one is to not smooth the FR graph so much, 1/3 is way too much. The other is to have a waterfall plot, determining the fidelity of an audio system by looking at graphs is much easier when you can also see the time domain. Great review though, I really enjoyed it!

Honestly, I'm not suprised that the ride quality, road feel, rear tire grip, and overall luxury of this vehicle is so much higher than other EVs. Cadillac made luxury cars a thing, and refined the formula year after year.

Yeah, cool but can we switch the HVAC controls to Hall Effects?

Any one else find the audio having a 'underwater warble' in spots on the video?

[@Darx97]

yep, when he drives it

[@DingusBatus]

I’m old fashioned. For as much as I’m amazed at the technology in cars I think touch screen controls is just stupid. It’s next best to impossible to accurately find, and operate, touch controls whilst driving. Give me a lot of proper buttons instead. With proper buttons you can feel, then memorise, buttons functions and locations making far easier to find, and push, whilst on the move. I not a big fan of digital dashboards either, I prefer the “old fashioned” analog dials.

I feel like there needs to be more kickback on the decision to phase out CarPlay and Android Auto. Fundamentally, it is ALWAYS going to be better than having separate systems in the car, unless you can provide some way of activating and controlling mobile apps directly from the car. As it stands, I'm yet to see an infotianment system that will actively let me reference things like my locations (such as saved places in apps or contacts), or activate spotify or other music apps without me physically having to open the phone to get it working.

[@absolutium]

The issue isnt just being janky but the fact that the compartment is located right where the dirt from the turning wheels is sprayed.

[@netoboi]

i know it is not an EV but mustang 2024 seems to have a decent infotainment system, i know it would be pretty unlikely but maybe a video on it would be nice to see

LTTs car review experiment will die soon if they keep reviewing EVs.... We are not stupid to the propaganda

[@djvidual8288]

The handle and door design mostly works in normal conditions. But did they ever try this in freezing conditions? I can already see how it will be almost impossible to open, because of ice buildup.

This is why EVs are garbage

[@ajs1998]

@@Gay-is-_-trash You mean vehicle manufacturers that can get away with stupid shit because it's "new" and "tech." They need to learn that wheels don't need to be reinvented for no goddamn reason. Take a car that everyone loves, and add batteries, and change nothing else. That will sell.

at 2:01 ... you show a volume in square feet... ft² and the metric volume in L, isnt m³ the more normal unit round here?

[@RandomTheories]

Liter is more used hmm... metric as a cubic metre is quite a lot, so we would be dealing with lot of decimals

[@Zyhmet]

@@RandomTheories I mean it just would change the , to a . here :P But yeah, had a quick look and it seems like indeed liter is the normal way. Shows how often I look at car stuff :P

Some weird volume variance on Alex's voice in this video, one scene i could hear him clearly, next i could barely hear him.. then Riley comes in for an ad that was like twice the volume of the rest of the video 😂 I still like these car videos though, Alex is always fun in videos ✌️

[@nerd20fromdiscord]

Does it swap drive modes automatically based on which keyfob is in the car tho

[@andrewhaan1156]

I'm not 100% sure but I think it does swap. There are different user profiles that the keyfob's swap between and it probably swaps drive mode as well to whatever that user profile has set.

[@screenPhiles]

The tester found the glove box opening via touch screen fairly annoying, yet they opened it in a second or two. And the point of the big bar on the steering wheel is that you see it (in the sense it's so large and takes up a relatively large amount of space ) and cannot miss it. That's a feature, not a problem. And as far as how many Lyrics have been sold, you can't have it both ways. GM sweats the details, which means a slower rollout, yet Tesla doesn't, so you get mediocre build quality and an 'Autopilot' which isn't.
