Cadillac LYRIQ Review
The Cadillac LYRIQ makes a pretty compelling argument for what a luxury EV should feel like: quiet, polished, seriously high-tech, and still unmistakably Cadillac. Whether you're cruising around St. Petersburg, Florida, heading through Palmetto, or navigating Seminole, the LYRIQ brings an easygoing character to everyday driving—while the LYRIQ-V turns up the excitement considerably.
At Dimmitt Cadillac of St. Petersburg, we're taking a closer look at what makes this electric SUV stand out.

The rear-wheel-drive LYRIQ offers up to 326 MILES OF RANGE¹, EPA estimated, while available all-wheel drive provides another option for drivers looking for enhanced traction and performance.
Then there's the LYRIQ-V for anyone who thinks an EV should have some serious attitude. Its dual-motor AWD powertrain produces 615 HP, Cadillac estimated in Velocity Max, and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a Cadillac-estimated 3.3 seconds in Velocity Max. It also gets performance-focused upgrades including Brembo® front brakes and Continuous Damping Control.

Basically, your commute just got a lot more interesting.
And then there's the standard 33" Horizon Display™*. It's one continuous curved screen with 9K resolution and the ability to display more than 1 billion colors. Whether you're checking navigation, changing settings, or simply enjoying the view, it gives the dashboard a seriously futuristic feel.
Tech Features of the Cadillac LYRIQ
