The verdict

What's good

Bespoke build program allows wood, leather, and color choices unavailable at any other brand
Rear-seat passenger experience rivals custom coachbuilt cars costing twice as much
Four-wheel steering improves urban maneuverability despite the long wheelbase
Over-the-air updates keep the infotainment current without dealer visits

What's not

Long-haul road trips require meticulous DC fast charger pre-planning outside major cities
Small production run means finding an informed service technician outside Detroit is difficult
Battery weight affects handling feel compared to combustion grand tourers at this price
Resale trajectory is completely unknown given the model's age and production volume

The engine

Ultium

Dual-Motor Electric AWD

Silent, instant and effortlessly torque-rich, the dual-motor setup delivers smooth all-wheel-drive shove that ranges from luxury-cruiser serene in the Lyriq to genuinely ferocious in the hand-built Celestiq and Lyriq-V.

Built on GM's Ultium platform, with the flagship Celestiq hand-assembled at the GM Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, marking Cadillac's most exclusive modern production car.

The Ultium battery's flat under-floor layout gives the Lyriq a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
The Celestiq is built to order with near-limitless personalization, making it the most individually commissioned Cadillac of the modern era.
