Coming out of a Hyundai Ionia 5 Limited. Thought it was the best car I ever owned. The Lyric beats it in many areas but fails in others. Had my Lyric ( late 2/24 build) for a month. Did a road trip from LA to Palm Springs. Lots of local driving other than that. Here is what needs to be improved/fixed. - Car sounds - Low speed sound for safety is WAY to loud. I should not be hearing this inside the car. I want my electric car to be quiet. At higher speeds when accelerating you also hear a fake engine type noise. This can NOT be turned off it seems. GM ... PLEASE give owners the option to turn off engine sounds. Several annoying rattles in car. Car itself is very quiet inside which is great but makes any rattles all the more noticeable. I have never had a car make this much rattling noise on bumps. Dealer fixed one of them ( door panel ) but others seem to be getting worse the longer I drive it. Not acceptable. Parking sensors and parking camera. Camera only comes on in reverse. It should come on when you are at a low speed and pulling in to a space. Hyundai did this. Make it an option. Backing out of my driveway on a hill causes the car to beep/seat vibrate and slam on the brakes since it sees the road as an obstacle . None of my other cars did this. The angle of the camera or radar needs to be adjusted or turned down. Does it when I pull into my driveway too and again, no other cars with this same feature did this. Have a sensitivity option on this. Car does not seem to have proper lane keeping at regular cruise control. My Hyundai had lane keeping in normal drive mode at anything over 35 mpg. And Hyundai worked great. When Lyric does it above 45 mph it is no where as good as Hyundai's. . But the super cruise works much better. Seems like it should be the same. Can speed engagement be done in the Lyric again as an option? Lane changing alerts dont seem to tug the car back into the lane to prevent hitting someone. Just seat vibration or sound and red flashing light on windshield. Car should try to steer back if it sees you are going to hit a car. Thought it did this. Why no HUD in this top of the line model when a Chevy Blazer EV that costs less has it. My Hyundai had it. Charging port seems to get quite hot with high speed charging and the Hyundai charges faster. But part of that is that the Lyric has a larger battery so it takes longer. Also only getting 2.6 kw per mile of range and the Hyundai in the exact same driving was getting 3.1. Now this may be due the the fact that the Lyric is much heavier so that reduces it. Not sure if this range is normal on the Lyric or not. Display when it is dusk turns to night mode and you literally can not see it until it gets fully dark outside. This is a safety concern. The sensitivity on the auto dimming needs to be changed or be turned off so you manually can adjust it. And in night mode even in the brightest setting it is not bright enough. So that should me modified as well. 3000 dollar Napa leather seat option not really worth it. . the leather is NOT soft . In fact harder than any leather I've ever had. The armrest on the door is soft but the center armrest between the seats is WAY too hard. Not sure what caddy is thinking here. Google map integrated is great but when you use it on the screen in front of the driver you do not get the traffic info. Why not? You only get traffic on the map when used on the right side of the display. Also the rear/front and overhead surround camera display is very small and not filling the entire screen. It needs to be bigger! My Hyundai was a larger higher quality image. Also the Hyundai has a feature that is a game changer. When you put your blinker on it activates the video camera in the side mirrors so on the dash display you see your blind spot in clear clean HD day or night. This is a fantasic feature and seem like one that Caddy could integrate since their are cameras on the sides I believe. If not add that! Display went black for 30 seconds the other day. Seems like it crashed and rebooted and then all my presets had to be redone. Not great. Hope it doesn't happen again. Never had the Hyundai do that in 2 years of driving. The Cadillac App is not as full featured as the Hyundai one. Also when you open it , it takes literally 3-4 minutes before it updates with current status of car and charge. Hyundai took like 30 seconds. Not sure why the Caddy app takes so long so this needs to be improved. So some may say these are minor things but they do add up and many can be easily fixed with a software update. But all in all car drives great with a nice balanced ride that soaks up most all road imperfections of which there are many in Los Angeles. Car is big so need to get used to that and indeed heavy so you feel it. But plenty of electric torque. SuperCruise works quite well and made the trip to Palm Springs pretty much hands free although it disengaged 3 times going to Palm Springs on the freeway saying road not supported. so that seems like a glitch. Car of course looks amazing inside and out and is a head turner. Luxury feel on all switchgear inside which is what I was hoping for. No comparison to Hyundai in that regard. Hopefully GM reads these things and can make the many mods in their next software update.

Lyriq, poor craftsman ship

In July I purchased a 2004 Cadillac Lyriq. Upon driving out of the dealer I learned that the OnStar system was broken. Took it back to the dealer, who kept the car for two (2) weeks while fixing the issue. A month later I took a trip to Tampa, FL. On my return from Tampa, I stopped at a SuperCharger in Ft. Myers and the car would not charge. I took it to the local dealer who confirmed that the car would not charge, yet they could not figure out the issue. As a result, the dealer reset the computer (which temporarily fixed the issue) and advised me to follow up with my local dealer in Miami. Upon returning to Miami, I took the car to the local dealer who kept the car for two (2) weeks fixing it. A few months later I had to return to the dealer due to a faulty turn signal (it would get stuck when turning right); in addition, the gap control between cars while on cruise control did not work; the computer screen occasionally turned blank and listed numerous errors on the screen. The car is beautiful but is poorly crafted and not worth the money and aggregation.This is my first Cadillac and I strongly regret purchasing a Lyriq.

Solid car for the price

Out of all the EVs I have driven, this is probably the best equipped in this price range. To get the equivalent features you will spend 10-15k more. Only a few cons... 1) Software, while this is temporary issue and the software keeps getting better it's still not 100% there. Some things are a challenge until you learn where the feature is (e.g. good luck figuring out how to power the radio on and off). 2) The center console panel in front of the jog dial seems flimsy. While the rest of the car is solid, this seems to move & flex when you push buttons. Would have prefered this part to be out of metal for a more solid feel. 3) A manual that matched the car would be great. The manual seems to be a lot of cut & paste from other vehicles and it doesn't always line up with the actual menu or buttons in the Lyriq, e.g. there is a section on HUD... the Lyriq never had that option.

2024 Lyriq Lux 2 - A Software & Tech Lemon

I bought a 2024 Lyriq Lux 2 on June 8th. Car immediately had critical tech issues on delivery with key features not working. Car immediately went in for 2 weeks. Dealership with support from GM could not fix it. Got the car back for a short period while they regrouped. Car went back in on 7/15 and has been there since then. They have thrown a laundry list of parts at it, replacing some components twice. Engineers have been in to look at it and they still do not know how to fix it. Waiting on a GM decision to but it back. This was my second BEV daily driver. I am also a long time GM customer, trucks, corvettes, etc. I would not touch an Ultium vehicle with a 10 foot pole at this point. GM needs to focus on the issues plaguing these cars and impacting their customers. The Lyriq has a lot of potential. If GM had been better at execution, the car would be phenomenal. When it works it is an excellent car.

Lyriq the good the ugly

I have had this vehicle 4 1/2 months. I do like the ride and look, but I do have some issues that have not been resolved by my dealer. They did fix my WiFi, but I did not have service for 2 months. My cell phone charger works on and off, more off. It came with 2 years free charging, I have yet to get the system to work, have reached out to dealer and EVgo and still have nothing. Would I lease again a Lyriq, NO. I'll look for a luxury EV elsewhere when this lease is up.
