Despite the glitter and the showy design, there’s something unexpectedly sensible about the Cadillac Lyriq. The automaker didn’t go wild with performance, or chase Lucid levels of range; the airy cabin is spacious across both rows, as is the trunk. Meanwhile, it drives like, well, a comfortable Cadillac always has.
You can see, then, why Cadillac envisages the Lyriq as being a gateway to EV ownership for its customers, though according to the sales stats it has succeeded beyond that, too. With a 70% conquest rating — that is to say, bringing new customers to the brand — there’s clearly an interest in an electric vehicle that doesn’t make organ-rearranging speed its sole personality trait.
