Electric Vehicle

First Drive: Cadillac Lyriq

The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is the first pure electric vehicle (EV) from Cadillac. If Cadillac follows its current plan, it’s the first of a parade of them.

To say this is an important vehicle for Cadillac is a drastic understatement. It rides on the platform GM hopes to use for dozens of EVs from all of its brands and sets the tone for the future of America’s best-known luxury marque.

Does it hit its marks? Our Lyn Woodward got some time behind the wheel. Her take on the experience? Mixed, with praise for the handling and ride quality, along with some concerns about interior materials and user-friendliness. Watch the video for details.
