LYRIQ Creator Series.

Feel the pulse and understand where it comes from. This is your journey to the all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ.

CHAPTER VI: 

THRILLING PERFORMANCE

Progress in technology will feel like prowess on the road as you experience what it means to drive the all-electric 2023 LYRIQ. The electric propulsion system is an innovation unique to electric vehicles and creates a surprisingly fun driving experience. It allows for features like One-Pedal Driving,† where the accelerator pedal alone can be used to speed up and slow down, instead of the brakes. While it may be a new driving experience for you, it will feel intuitive—especially in stop-and-go traffic.

 

Taking your foot off the pedal will signal the system to smoothly decelerate and convert that unused power into kinetic energy that your battery can use later. It’s an efficient yet engaging way to drive.

“In the LYRIQ, when you press the accelerator pedal, you get nearly
instantaneous torque. You’re going right away. It’s extremely smooth.”

CHAPTER I: SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP

The Cadillac LYRIQ exists in a state of artful integration—every aspect is meant to complement your movements. Creating it required challenging conventions. We began with an unparalleled first impression.

LYRIQ comes alive at your approach. Upon recognizing your presence, it “speaks” to you through hundreds of choreographed exterior LED lights. The interior comes alive, adjusting the seat, mirror and climate system to your preferences in a welcoming sequence.

“With an electric vehicle, you do not get that traditional rumble and vibration of an engine at start-up. Lighting enables us to create a unique welcoming experience.”

As you settle comfortably in the spacious cabin, intelligent lighting reacts to your movements and helps you explore the space. Reach into the open console and the light momentarily turns from chosen color to bright white to help you see the space more clearly. It’s intuitively structured around you.

And these are only the first few moments into your experience. There’s more to come.

“Cadillac has always been on the leading edge of performance and technology. So, moving to the electric drivetrain fits in perfectly.”

The electric drivetrain does more than provide a spirited acceleration—regenerative braking allows you to harness the deceleration as well. When activating the brake pedal, LYRIQ converts unused kinetic energy and stores it for your future travels, giving you the luxury of spontaneity driven by efficiency.


This is just a glimpse into your first experience on the road with LYRIQ—but there’s so much left to be revealed.

Your hand will instinctively go to pull on a door handle, but LYRIQ requires only a simple push on the Power-Presenting Doors for automatic unlatching. The nontraditional door handle streamlines not just the exterior expression but creates a more seamless motion for you as you begin your journey.

CHAPTER III

A VISION CRYSTALLIZED

The Cadillac LYRIQ unfurls over time, revealing beautiful new details as you exist alongside each other. Every opportunity was taken to add a thoughtful moment of pattern, light or unexpected shape. It was a challenge that Interior Design Manager Tristan Murphy relished.
Tristan Murphy: Interior Design Manager of the LYRIQ.

“Regarding the knurling that runs along the sides of the multifunctional controller, we spent a ton of time milling out different patterns with varying depths, sizes and shapes to ensure that it not only looks beautiful, but also feels fantastic to use.”

TRISTAN MURPHY

Interior Design Manager

Even before you are comfortably inside LYRIQ, the striking cantilevered centre console, evoking elements of modern architecture, will capture your attention. Without the need for a transmission tunnel, Murphy and his team of designers were able to create a more ergonomic, more useful, more beautiful console.

“For so long these spaces were treated like hollow, plastic afterthoughts. On the LYRIQ they’ve been treated with care and respect.”

“Wherever we can carry over a habit that our customers already have, we’re going to do that. It’s a very intuitive vehicle.”

CHAPTER V:

EFFORTLESS COMMUNICATION

EFFORTLESS COMMUNICATION

Everything you do sends a signal. From your eye contact to the direction of your feet, it’s body language. Which is a perfect description for the all-new electrical architecture within the LYRIQ. 

Creators like Andy Oury, Engineering Technical Leader for High-Voltage Battery Packs, helped to enable a responsive, seamless network among some of the most vital components within LYRIQ to send the right messages at the right time.
Andy Oudry: Engineering Technical Leader for High-Voltage Battery Packs

“We integrated microchips right into the battery modules, so information can be transmitted wirelessly. Wireless is a more efficient way to transmit critical battery health and safety measurements.”

While confidence in range and charging rises, questions about safety come next. Because the LYRIQ is so quiet on the road, acoustic designers leveraged the power of the Vehicle Intelligence Platform, creating a pleasant exterior sound to alert pedestrians of LYRIQ’s presence while moving at low speeds (below 35 km/h). It’s yet another way LYRIQ beautifully integrates into the world around it.
