It’s been nearly two years since we got behind the wheel of the Cadillac Lyriq for the car’s formal first drive. In case you were wondering, no, that’s not a normal amount of time between when we initially drive a car and when it becomes available for a more thorough test via a weeklong loan. But very few things about the Lyriq’s launch and subsequent production woes were normal.
It’s easy to be distracted by all the elegant adornments, but I jumped straight into the vast 33-inch display to see how that performed. If you recall, the Lyriq’s Ultium platform-mate, the Blazer EV, had all sorts of issues with its infotainment system upon launch that, among other things, it forced a stop-sale. Despite the platform relationship, Cadillac’s infotainment is its own monster.
That same easy-does-it feel applies to full-throttle applications off the line, too. You’d think that 500 horsepower would be a neck-snapping good time, but no matter the drive mode, the Lyriq is – once again, purposefully – going to ease itself off the line before eventually pinning you back once you’re already underway.
Thankfully, the noise was quiet enough that playing some tunes on the 19-speaker AKG audio system could block it out – and man, this is one rocking system when you turn it up. It’s lovely to listen to when soaking up highway miles on Super Cruise, which is as good and advanced as it gets when paired with the Lyriq. Its active-lane lane changing is extremely well-executed, and its general obedience and ability to follow lane markings is still unmatched.
