2024 Cadillac Lyriq: The OTA Power Upgrade Revealed!
The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq made a statement in the U.S market this year, blending luxury with impressive performance. Priced at $58,590, this luxury crossover is powered by a 102kWh battery and offers two drivetrain options.
For 2024, Cadillac aims to enhance the Lyriq's sporty edge. The current RWD version boasts 340 horsepower with a 5.7 seconds sprint to sixty, rivaling an e-tron. However, it's the AWD Lyriq that takes center stage, armed with dual electric motors. These motors churn out 500 horsepower, propelling the vehicle from zero to sixty in a swift 4.7 seconds, mirroring the Tesla Model Y Long Range.
For those craving an extra kick, the 2024 model offers the Velocity Package. Priced at $1,200, this over-the-air upgrade doesn't boost horsepower but ramps up torque from 450 to 524 pound-feet. This shaves the zero-to-sixty time down to 4.4 seconds.
Rumors hint at a Cadillac Lyriq V, but until then, this might be the draw for enthusiasts. Yet, the Lyriq's heart remains luxury. The Luxury trim spoils owners with features like Super Cruise, a power moonroof, plush Nappa leather seats, and a booming 19-speaker AKG sound system.
General Motors also unveils the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ, solidifying its lead in the EV arena. This electric SUV, building on Cadillac's legacy, melds quality with cutting-edge technology.
