Unless you have a lot of kids I think the Lyriq will ride a lot better. I think the Escalade IQ will get the same battery as the hummer so they can advertise a 300mi-350mi range. That will make it way heavier than a normal escalade already is
The Escalade IQ is on another level, that Celestiq is the car I'm worried about being destroyed by the IQ because I'm thinking this Celest-IQ's customers are going to flog for it. I could be wrong, but I won't be surprised if that happens
I come from a big “car family” who are all very against my choice of the lyriq but I honestly love this car. I Never thought I’d own an electric car this soon, but it is fast, beautifully designed, and super comfortable to drive. Luckily I live somewhere with lots of charging stations.
Ty, you gave us a very informative video, with not only the bigger picture, but also tons of small details many of us wanted. I second the idea to get a better inside camera for brightening up gauge and scene presentation. Overall was excellent, to the point I subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
I see your in Connecticut. I am as well. I ordered a 24 lyric sport 3 awd after your video. I currently drive a Kia ev6 GT-LINE now that will be getting traded in. You have a new subscriber.
Nice review. I have a Sport3 on order and can’t wait. I would like to have seen more of the new door locks, since they redesigned the front . Not sure if they changed the rear doors.
I used the new door handles the other day. My vehicle I ordered hasn’t come in yet and my dealer called me to see if I wanted to sport 1. The new handles are great I would have preferred if the opened with a left hand open but small detail
Great looking car. I would have definitely considered one if Cadillac actually sent any to the showrooms a year back, so I ended up getting an Audi e-tron.
I'm surprised no one mentions the uncomfortable "filler" strip between the back of the rear seat and the seat back. The rear seats would be much more comfortable without that strip.
I stopped by the dealer yesterday and they had a Lyriq Luxury 1. It was absolutely beautiful, red with white interior. Love the interior and exterior design. Unfortunately Tesla’s are plain Jane compared to the Cadillac. The only problem I had was this car is just too big for two people. I wish they would come out with one about the size of the Toyota RAV 4.
I've preordered a SPORT 3. Argent exterior and light gray interior. 22'2, supercruise and power moonroof. I would never buy one without the ventilated seats and massage seats. That should be STANDARD.
Or, just learn how to use it. Looks at the window sticker at an angle so all we see is the reflection. Very jerky and shaky too, along with the darkness.
The charge rate to go from 20-80% for an extra 200 mile range, is poor at a level 2 charger. Ultium cells are heavy and the battery pack adds additional weight. The 300+ miles comes at a cost of more expensive charging. It is not an efficient vehicle. It may look nice, but underneath the vehicle is a poor performer. Before you buy any electric vehicle you should examine the charging curve and the how many Kw you are adding and at what rate, with each charge. That is really the bottom line. This car will a lead weight on a long trip.
Many people don't care and the Lyirq will suite their needs and charging habits. Plenty of people getting far better mileage than advertised. As for the charge curve that's still in the works. Lyriq seems to care for the battery more than it does for speed but some Lyriq owners are getting far better charging times than we have seen in reviews.
slower charging means easier on the battery and it lasts longer. most people charge overnight at home anyways. What difference does 10-15 minutes make on a road trip you make twice a year? I have an EV6 and it charges TOO fast for my kids to go to the bathroom. I actually have to stay with the car and move it once its done charging in 15 minutes, while my wife and kids are still in the store getting snacks and whatever. Do i like the charging speed? yes. but its also a bit over-rated. people are paranoid about charging speed but once you actually own an EV, 150kw charging is more than fast enough. This lyriq charges plenty fast enough for the vast majority of use cases, and it gets great range, while being quite a large vehicle with plenty of space. that's basically it. i have no clue why you are claiming it is a "poor performer". compared to my EV6? yea it charges a bit slower. Big fricken deal. The lyriq is nicer inside. first world problems dude. look into it.
From the front, looking down the side, the door handle levers look like erect nipples sticking out. They are better than the push-and-grab-somewhere-else 23 openers, though.
I love the subtle dark chrome trim of the Sport version more so than the Luxury.
Gotta say, this sport version is a big styling improvement over the base model. I'm looking at this or the new Escalade IQ.

Thank you for the support! I’m glad you found the video helpful.
Excited to see the AWD Sport version. I really like it! Nice review. I’d like to see how well its self parking works.
Nice review, thanks

The rear doors are just like the front doors that he showed. They have all been re-designed.
What’s your estimated wait time for the sport3? I’m debating on ordering, haven’t looked into delivery times yet.
@@AJ-sj7qx Dimmitt Cadillac in st Petersburg, FL tells me 8 to 12 months. I currently have a 2020 BMW X5, so I can wait.

The handle is easy to use and no silly fin the grab
Yes I love it I have a older Cadillac sedan XTS some people still complement on it so much
I wish they still made the XTS, it'd look good next to my XT5.
Great looking car. I would have definitely considered one if Cadillac actually sent any to the showrooms a year back, so I ended up getting an Audi e-tron.

One of the best reviews for this car I’ve watched. Thank you
Good to hear you found it useful!
great video
Wow love to see that they finally fix the doors, much easier to for people to handle the doors.
Have the rear doors changed too?
@@normt430yes

Is the light show on the front grille different with the sport compared to the luxury and tech?
I've preordered a SPORT 3. Argent exterior and light gray interior. 22'2, supercruise and power moonroof.
I would never buy one without the ventilated seats and massage seats.
That should be STANDARD.
Please do a video on the 2024 mild hybrid S90 if you can find one, lol. All I've been seeing is the T8 recharge. Thnx in advance.
Nice video, think you might do another to show how the super cruise works? Thanks.
The sport 1 does not have Super Cruise
Is a preview of what the 2024-2025 model of the Cadillac Escalade will look like.
Quite possibly. I haven’t heard of any updates on Escalades yet, but they are due somewhat soon.
I think it’s 51 per hour with the level 2. Can you confirm it through here ?
I ordered a sport 2 ,thought all the sport models had the supercruise,my bad.
Some areas of the video was darker and did not had good lighting but overall good review.
Just imagine you need to fix front lights. . ON top of that , remember it is built in America.
Good review! Thanks. Now if you could just actually buy a Lyriq....... (month 13 since I put a deposit down)
My sport1 stalled middle of road with 95% battery the day I picked up from dealership. Let’s see how dealer handles this….
Any updates on this?
Still no updates ?
Just put an Acura front grill on that, and that will be their new ZDXe
Might want to invest in a better camera, too dark.

No HUD?
Not added yet. There is planning for 2025

It has that dial gear change thing instead of the traditional shifter, killed it for me xD...
After the 10th “cools” in describing the car you lost me. Have no idea how cool applies to every aspect of the Lyric.
we can barely see what is on the car screen before you start driving
Fyi...Hot day or not good reviewers do not blast the a/c during recording

2023 version is much better
Why?
2024 gives a sunroof option not available on the 2023. Additionally, door handles for 2024 are much better thought out than the 2023.
From the front, looking down the side, the door handle levers look like erect nipples sticking out. They are better than the push-and-grab-somewhere-else 23 openers, though.
