The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq stands out with its quiet cabin and comfortable ride and seats. It's also got plenty of range and many helpful technology features. A few other luxury-branded EVs are more fun to drive, but overall we think the Lyriq is worth considering.Read full review

Pros

Attractive and quiet interior
Helpful tech features such as Google integration and hands-free driving
Priced less than many other luxury EVs

Cons

Handling lacks precision and confidence
Some interior materials miss the mark
Infotainment menus can be overcomplicated

What's new

Trim lineup narrowed from three to two
Part of the first Lyriq generation introduced for 2023

Overview

The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq is comfortable in its role as a quiet electric cruiser rather than an eyeball-bruising performer. Not that the Lyriq is slow, because it isn't. But it's also not going to out-accelerate a BMW iX. Comfort and quietness are the main themes for this wagon-like SUV. Other highlights include more than 300 miles of range on a full charge and a bevy of technology features.

Edmunds spotlight: Standard tech means high value

The Lyriq's tech features work right and feel familiar. Google voice recognition is near faultless and couples with the most well-known and widely used navigation app on the market to make inputting and navigating to destinations a snap. The available Super Cruise driving feature is also pretty cool. It works on most mapped highways to allow for hands-free driving when certain conditions are met. You still have to pay attention to the road and be ready to take over driving when needed, but in general it can help make long drives less fatiguing.

Competitors to consider

Check out the BMW iX or Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. Both cost more than the Lyriq but have certain advantages. The iX is sportier to drive, while the EQE SUV has a classier cabin. We also like the Genesis GV60. One final option is the new Acura ZDX. It's based on the Lyriq and has many of the same features and capabilities, just with different styling.

Good

8.0

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the LYRIQ drive? The Lyriq is not a performance-oriented EV. Its acceleration doesn't give you that gut punch from the instant torque delivery that we've become used to. We tested a dual-motor all-wheel-drive Lyriq and it sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. That's not slow, but for a luxury electric SUV that's near the bottom of the class.

Another place where its comfort-first mission shows up is in the way it handles. Drive with some enthusiasm around a turn and the composure you typically expect from EVs (all of which feature the bulk of their mass low down in the chassis) is missing. Combine that with slow steering and not-so-grippy tires and it's clear the Lyriq is more about being tidy on the dead-ahead than it is in the twisties.

Braking was similarly nonchalant. In our emergency braking testing, it needed more distance to stop from 60 mph than an equivalent BMW iX and was less stable in a straight line.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the LYRIQ? Comfort is where the Lyriq excels. On long stretches of highway or on city streets, the Lyriq's comfort bias pays major dividends. Its suspension soaks up major road imperfections well, though smaller bumps can result in a little bit of juddering in the cabin. Most of the time, the Lyriq's ride is near the top of its class. It's impressively quiet inside too.

The Lyriq's climate system is the main disappointment here. The fans never felt strong enough in our testing, and when we set the system for lower temps, we weren't always satisfied with how cold the cabin got (or rather, didn't get). Not only that, but the thin slots Cadillac uses for air vents here make guiding air to your face trickier than it should be.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Lyriq's interior is a highlight. Getting in and out of the interior is a cinch thanks to well-placed seats and wide door openings. There's also plenty of headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers.

There are things we didn't like about the interior. The center console of our test vehicle squeaked if we pressed down too hard on any part of it, and the driver's seat lacked just enough adjustment to make finding a comfortable position a little too difficult. Another knock is the view out of the back. Though we're thankful for blind-spot warning, rearward visibility could be better, and small window openings make getting a clear picture of what's behind a touch too difficult.

Build & Price

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? The Lyriq features all of the benefits of having Google built right in — fantastic voice recognition and the best native maps solution in the business — as well as the added benefit of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. It all works seamlessly, and while we aren't in love with the design of the Lyriq's user interface, that's a small gripe in the face of a vast amount of easy-to-use and helpful tech.

Even smaller things have been considered. There's a small fan that blows cold air onto your phone in the wireless charger to keep it cool, the USB-C ports are in a logical place, and the configurable screens give pertinent information and are easy to navigate and understand.

Lastly, we were able to test the Super Cruise system. Super Cruise works on premapped highways and allows you to take your hands off the wheel when conditions allow. It works well in most conditions, and we've found it's most helpful in congested traffic to help let you relax a little.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Lyriq will have enough cargo space for most families. It has 28 feet of cubic space to work with behind the second row, and while it's not as large as the BMW iX or Tesla Model X, it is on par with the Audi Q8 E-tron. Fold the seats down and you have up to 60 cubic feet of free air to use for larger items.

In-cabin storage is solid too. There is a medium-size center armrest bin and an average-size glovebox. There is also a bonus cubby that slides out from the front dash, plus a small space right in between the passenger and driver that's covered in a contrast-colored leather and is perfect for a small handbag. Fitting a car seat should be easy too. There's plenty of room in the back for larger seats, and wide-opening doors and Isofix points mean installation should be a simple affair.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

7.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? (Note that the following results are from a 2024 Lyriq. We expect similar results for newer years as well.) In our independent Edmunds EV Range Test, our dual-motor Lyriq traveled 319 miles on a charge, outperforming its 307-mile EPA estimate. In mixed city/highway driving, you can certainly expect to match or beat the EPA. We measured consumption at 37.6 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles driven, slightly besting the EPA estimate of 38 kWh/100 miles.

Value

8/10

Is the LYRIQ a good value? Overall build quality in the Lyriq is impressive. We found a few squeaks and rattles here and there, but major touchpoints all feel solid. We also like how well priced the Lyriq is. You can get a well-equipped Lyriq for a lot less than BMW iX or Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. The Lyriq comes with a warranty that's on par with other EVs in its class.

Wildcard

8/10

The Lyriq's styling manages to turn heads. It's an attractive design and is immediately distinguishable as something new from Cadillac. Not only is it good-looking, but it also manages to be understated without being boring. It isn't the most fun to drive, but it accomplishes its mission of being a quiet, comfortable, tech-forward EV.

Which LYRIQ does Edmunds recommend?

With the elimination of the entry-level Tech trim for 2025, we think the Luxury 1 and Sport 1 trims come with enough features to satisfy most luxury buyers. Those features include heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless phone charging, Google built-in voice recognition and much more. If you want Super Cruise, however, you'll have to step up to the Level 2 trim.
