From EV Review Ireland.
Turn heads and embrace bold American luxury with our full review and test drive of the all-new Cadillac LYRIQ. Making a striking statement on Irish roads, this premium D-segment SUV breaks away from traditional European design cues with its sweeping fastback proportions, massive 100 kWh battery pack, and an unmissable signature light show. Clocking in at 5 meters long with an imposing closed-off crystal-matrix grille, the all-wheel-drive LYRIQ brings a refreshing aura of "Americanness" to the electric market. Priced at a premium €95,000 to €100,000, we find out if its jaw-dropping looks and 530 km WLTP range can truly disrupt the dominant German giants.

Top Features of the Cadillac LYRIQ
Flagship 33-inch LED Display: The crown jewel of the interior is a single, uninterrupted 33-inch diagonal curved display [06:14]. It acts as a massive high-definition command center that runs an incredibly crisp Android Automotive OS baseline [19:52].
Intelligent Proximity Haptic Seats: Integrates a brilliant tactile safety helper where the base of the driver’s seat actively pulsates and rumbles on the left or right cheek [12:47] to physically notify you of approaching obstacles or walls while parking [12:53].
Unmissable Exterior Light Show: Dutches traditional bulbs for razor-thin vertical LED main beams [00:59] and an intricate rear layout featuring massive, wrap-around sequential light blades that guarantee you won’t be missed on the road [03:49].
Flagship-Grade Acoustic Insulation: Creates a whisper-quiet highway cabin by pairing highly advanced active cancellation loops with thick, fully insulated acoustic side glass [14:14], keeping heavy 22-inch road roar entirely at bay [19:18].
Substantial Cargo Capacity: Prioritizes utility by deploying a wide-opening 588-liter rear boot [02:46] that extends to a virtually flat load floor when folding down the electronic 60/40 rear seat splits [03:04].
High-Capacity 100 kWh Battery: Anchored to a massive 100 kWh gross battery pack that supports 190 kW DC fast charging [13:52]. Over a chilly test week, it returned a real-world economy of 4.3 km per kWh—amounting to a dependable 430–440 km real driving range against its 530 km WLTP claim [20:14].
