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.

It's nice to get a different perspective on things, especially for something that costs like $60k.

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? Almost everyone has a decent smartphone that can run Android Auto, and if for some reason they don't, add in an optional extra for a tablet or basic android device that can just permanently sit plugged in to handle features like Maps and Spotify etc.

My dad just got one a few months ago. Hadn’t bought an American car in 40 years. He loves it. Dealership experience sort of C- but GM knocked it out of the park on product. 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.

[@Nic_Adami]

I’m a mechanic at a Cadillac dealer. We delivered our first one to a customer a few months ago. Nothing is intuitive to use. Plastic trim panels were loose fitting and rattled. It was already towed back three times with drive motor issues, radio and dash electronic issues etc. GM had us replace the drive motor and was towed back three days later. GM doesn’t know what’s wrong and keeps sending out engineers to assist with diagnosis to no avail. Never buy the first generation of a new vehicle.

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!

How has the Mustang Mach E fared? Same setup

[@kazater]

@@deansmits006 i have no idea how the mustang does, I know however that car doors freeze shut if its cold enough and can require a good solid yank from a 180 pound man to open. The dainty little pop of that electrical opener, does not spark confidence. The problem is that there's nothing to yank on in the back doors, you could get the front open like that, but then what? Crawl to the back and kick the door open?

I like my glove boxes buttonless. That way you can actually store small expensive items without thieves being able to open it if they do break in.

cant wait for the charger door to be STUCK all the FREAKINg TIME

I wasn't interested until I saw it has a hatch without being an SUV, and then the price. This is truly the Cadillac of EVs! I'd probably still get the Bolt if I had a garage and an outlet.

[@AlexanderPavel]

It's 100% an SUV, not a hatchback. SUVs have a much higher ride height and more lax safety regulation for pedestrian collisions since they're regulated as small trucks instead of cars. This is why the front is allowed to be so massive.

I whip my cars alot, and touch controls on the sterring wheel are a no-go

As someone with keratoconus, this trend of extremely bright headlights is going to take me off the road! 😭😂

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.

14:10 I wonder when car manufacturers are going to realise that stereo is absolutely fine. Most of the music you'll be playing won't be in surround sound anyway. I personally really like the setup in my old ford. Two full range (not sure if they are coax, never opened the door) speakers in the doors with two woofers in the front doors as well, and two full range speakers that are a little larger in the rear doors for the rear passengers. Plenty of low end, plenty of definition, you just need a better head unit because the speakers are extremely harsh in the 7-10.000khz range, so a little EQ'ing goes a long way.

I love watching videos of people review cars I'll never buy!

[@Maxam-Media]

I wish automakers would move away from piano black plastics. They photograph well, but in real world use so many other finishes would look far better. Also, I find it off that some luxury cars, like this Cadillac, will opt for more cumbersome or less intuitive methods of interacting with the car for the sake of being different. Like the exterior door handles, when a single operation could suffice as is normal with most vehicles, this car require multiple actions to do something as simple as entering the car.

After test driving the ionic 5 and 6 (thanks for your reviews, they gave me the idea!) I heard that there's gonna be a new version of the hyundai kona electric in august. I'm very interested in it, I hope you guys get a chance to review it!

[@Gay-is-_-trash]

Electric sucks. Drive a normal car that's as expensive as your dumb EV. It may not be much better when you get inside, but it can drive across town without needing to be charged or overheating, and it won't blow up in 2 years

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

Wasn't aware taht they were changing platforms on the kona. I guess it's just gonna be an electric kona. And with their current pricing here atm at around 50-60k, I don't think that the ioniq5 or 6 is a worse deal. But you could also look into Kia's versions, they have the EV6, but no ioniq6 counterpart yet.

[@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.

[@traviscobbs]

The audio in this video recorded inside the car sounds horrible when played at 1.5x speed in Google Chrome, which is very strange, since it sounds great at 1x. I've never noticed that happen on other videos; I wonder what is different.

[@UmbraFaux]

Could you say this is the...rise of Lyriq?

[@DigitalGamma]

Boom

What would happen if you lived somewhere and that church door was ice up because sometimes that happens with my fuel filidor
