Disaster

I traded in a 2022 Mustang Mach E that I liked for the Lyriq. I was looking for a smoother ride and really like the looks of the Lyriq. It was the worst car purchase mistake I ever made! The car has design is that are annoying and defects that are infuriating. Design issues: - The glove box has not physical latch to open it. There is an electronic button that appears on the Home Screen only when the car is in park. To open the glove box while driving, you must navigate into the menu 2-3 levels. - The car plays an exterior “Sunrise” sound while the car is traveling 23 MPH or less. It is very audible inside the car. There is no way to turn it off. - Instead of having Homelink buttons on the visor, the garage door button is also en electronic button on the main display that disappears as you move away from your garage. (More on this under defects.) - The radio is always on. There is no way to turn it off. Your only option is to turn it down or mute it. You can change the settings so it is quiet when you start your car. - Door handles will pop out as you approach the car, but the doors won’t unlock for passengers until the person with the key gets within a couple of feet, even if you have it set to unlock all doors. - There is no front trunk. - There is no rear wiper. Defects: - Detached interior panel on the driver’s side. - Detached seat cushion strap on the passenger’s side. - Brakes failed. - Faux leather on steering wheel around the SuperCruise indicator came apart. - Many issues with electronics: * CarPlay cut out. Dealer finally replaced the radio components which resolved THIS issue. * Electronic button for the garage door sometimes does not appear when I’m in our garage, or sometimes does not work. * Speed limits sometimes do not display, appearing as “- -“ within the electronic speed limit sign on the dash. Sometimes this happens for a month at a time. * Speed limits disappear are frequently incorrect. * Sometimes if you shift into drive too quickly after starting the car the infotainment system will not show album artwork. * Sometimes album artwork displayed on the center screen is different from the album artwork displayed on the smaller screen to the left of it. There are many other little annoyances… I emailed Mary Barra, CEO of GM, asking that GM buy the car back. I was assigned an executive customer service representative who, although she is very nice, is unable to do much. She did issue a bunch of GM points to my account that I was able to use to make car payments. They will not take the car back, though. I would NEVER recommend that anyone buy this car!

Overall, I love the car. It is comfortable and has all the luxury and ride quality you expect from Cadillac. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have answers to the questions that have come up. Three local dealerships and numerous calls to the EV team at Cadillac and no solutions. Maybe in time but for now not getting answers is annoying. Update: Jan. 2024 The problem has been corrected. It was a software problem. Still love the car. I am getting 400 miles in the summer and 350 miles in the winter with 20-80% charge time approximately 45 minutes. This car is truly underrated.

Stylish Modern Electric SUV

I owned my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq for 8 Months. The car has a stylish exterior and a modern and posh interior. I enjoy the 33” inch infotainment / driver display. My car has been in the shop twice. First time to fix camera issues caused by outdated software. Second time to replace a faulty radio module which left the car disabled. Both times the car was at the dealer about a week and both times I received a loaner Cadillac while my car was being repaired. After the radio module was replaced in Nov 2024 the car has been driving reliably. This car has great suspension and acceleration. Visibility to the back and left of the driver is pretty bad but driver assist features compensate somewhat for that. Super Cruise works well on major highways. Overall I’m enjoying my Cadillac Lyriq.

I couldn’t be happier with my 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. From the moment I sat in the driver’s seat, I was impressed by the luxury and technology Cadillac has integrated into this model. The sleek, modern design turns heads, and the all-electric power provides a smooth, quiet ride that’s both thrilling and efficient. The interior feels like a high-end experience with spacious seating and intuitive controls. Charging is convenient, and the range is more than enough for daily drives and road trips alike. Cadillac has truly stepped up in the EV game, and I give the LYRIQ a well-deserved 5 stars!

We have not one but two Lyriqa. Our first was a black 2023 Debut Edition, arriving in May 2023 after a nearly 2-year wait. Our second is a red 2024 Sport 2 AWD. Overall, our experiences have been very positive. The cars are super-quiet, handle well on suburban and rural roads and interstates and are very flexible. We have had top vehicles for years -- these are Cadillacs #6 and 7, SRXs and Escalade ESVs preceeded our Lyriqs. And I am a car guy. Before my current Lyriq AWD, I had both a Genesis and a C7 Z51 Corvette. When running well -- most of the time -- the Lyriqs are delightful, safe and incredibly rich in features. Cadillac's OTA upgrades are not reliable, but our dealers have been helpful, although thin on trained mechanics. And driven conservatively and utilizing regen, we substantially exceed the EPA-reported mileage range. There is a temptation, though, to nail the accelerator at times ... perhaps a residual of my Corvette and prior hot car days. And believe me, the 500 hp dual motor is quick. We enjoy comparing notes with other EV owners while charging on trips, and find we are overall happier than most of those we meet at the stations. And every week, we find our Lyriqs drawing looks and unsolicited positive comments. Which we enjoy! We have had a "brick" episode with the DE linked to a failed OTA upgrade that drained the 12v battery. Annoying and inconvenient. But a $50 Amazon purchase of a 12v battery booster eliminated this from recurring and causing a problem. We are not SuperCruise users, and in fact utilize far from all of the available technologies in the car. But we are really glad we endured Cadillac's poor communications during the waiting period post-order. Pepper and Hot Lava -- the names we have applied to the cars -- are enjoyed and praised to family, friends and those we meet.
