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. It acts as a massive high-definition command centre that runs an incredibly crisp Android Automotive OS baseline.
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 to physically notify you of approaching obstacles or walls while parking.
Unmissable Exterior Light Show: Ditches traditional bulbs for razor-thin vertical LED main beams and an intricate rear layout featuring massive, wrap-around sequential light blades that guarantee you won't be missed on the road.
Flagship-Grade Acoustic Insulation: Creates a whisper-quiet highway cabin by pairing highly advanced active cancellation loops with thick, fully insulated acoustic side glass, keeping heavy 22-inch road roar entirely at bay.
Substantial Cargo Capacity: Prioritises utility by deploying a wide-opening 588-litre rear boot that extends to a virtually flat load floor when folding down the electronic 60/40 rear seat splits.
High-Capacity 100 kWh Battery: Anchored to a massive 100 kWh gross battery pack that supports 190 kW DC fast charging. 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.
