The Cadillac LYRIQ isn’t just your typical electric vehicle. This midsize SUV represents a meeting point of luxury and innovation. We are your premier Cadillac dealer near Smyrna; stop by and experience a LYRIQ in person. Getting a hands-on experience is one of the best ways to get a feel for all the LYRIQ has to offer. You’re sure to see right away that this EV from Cadillac is more than just another pretty face in the crowd.

As the auto world enters a new age focused on sustainability and technological sophistication, the LYRIQ is helping lead the pack. This model calls to a select number of drivers in search of more than just impressive efficiency. The LYRIQ offers a blend of modern technology, elegant design, and unparalleled performance. Cadillac boasts that the LYRIQ is considered ‘the first mainstream’ vehicle to employ their Ultium EV architecture—a custom pairing of a lithium-ion battery and a motor that can be vertically or horizontally stacked and is robust and leakproof. This makes the LYRIQ’s battery not only long-lasting but safer and less expensive than previous generations of batteries.

Curious? Whether you’ve already made the shift from conventionally fueled vehicles to electric or not, the LYRIQ is an alluring force for those wanting to make every drive count.

Quiet Luxury at Its Best

The LYRIQ has been designed to elevate your drive in every way—including eliminating minor irritations like outside noise pollution from highway traffic, wind, and crowded urban environments. Without a combustion engine to provide a background hum, Cadillac had a challenge on its hands. As Cadillac’s introduction to its future EV lineup, it had to get it right when it came to a quiet and comfortable cabin.

The automaker’s goal was to make the LYRIQ 80% quieter by using CAE (Computer-aided engineering) combined with noise-reduction materials to absorb unwanted sound. A great example of this tech is the LYRIQ’s wheels, which have been designed to help quell noise and work in combination with the SUV’s self-sealing tires to prevent noise before it starts. Sensors on each wheel work in real-time to gauge road conditions and help maintain the soothing silence of the cabin.

In the absence of a rear wiper blade, which can create a nagging swiping noise, the LYRIQ employs the use of natural airflow to keep the rear glass clear for drivers. When noise cannot be muffled out, the LYRIQ uses its AKG stereo system to help neutralize exterior sounds as they enter the cabin.

Driving in a busy city like Smyrna can present a set of unique challenges, including congested traffic on busy sections of Afton Way and Adams Drive during peak hours. Not only does the LYRIQ help block out unwanted distractions, but it also keeps things quiet so you can focus on unwinding at the end of the day, allowing you to make the most of your time behind the wheel.

A Wide Range of Performance

Drivers can avoid range anxiety thanks to the LYRIQ’s extensive battery range of over 300 miles. Drivers can easily power up at home or on the go using a personal or public charging station. A Level 2 standard charging can deliver up to 52 miles of additional range for each hour of charging, making it simple to plug in and get a good night’s sleep knowing your ride will be ready to hit the road in the morning. When you can’t wait, the LYRIQ can make use of DC Fast charging. This Level 3 charging is available at most public charging stations and can boost battery levels by as much as 76 miles in just 10 minutes, allowing you to grab lunch and go when life won’t wait.

The aerodynamic design of the LYRIQ aids in its sleek and responsive handling. Drivers can experience the near-instant thrill of 340 hp with 325 lb-ft of torque when they slide into the driver’s seat. The LYRIQ has been designed to impress you on every level of performance and comfort.

The city of Symrna offers plenty of convenient opportunities to plug in and power up when you’re running around town. Convenient locations like EVgo on Veterans Memorial Highway and a charging point at Kroger’s grocery store on Cobb Drive make it easy to charge your battery while doing errands.

A Serine but Smart Cabin

As thrilling as the LYRIQ is to drive, the interior was made to soothe and inspire with thoughtful design, straightforward technology, and modern details that help you relax and enjoy the ride. A standard panoramic skylight brings in natural soft lighting throughout the cabin, adding to the airy feeling. Ample head and legroom work well for adult passengers as well as youth, ensuring that every ride is as comfortable as can be, no matter where you’re sitting.

A minimalist use of rich grays, carbons, and blacks is offset with the soft blue glow of the curved 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display that makes connecting with the LYRIQ’s tech feel intuitive. The cabin is highlighted with crystal accents to mark the sweet spot between utility and art that many vehicles strive for yet seem to miss. The LYRIQ presents all the essential information with clear LED screens that allow you to connect your compatible smartphone for a seamless personal experience.

The cabin’s unique AKG sound system doesn’t just help filter out unwanted noise but creates a listening experience that is second only to a live performance. The Cadillac exclusive sound system features 19 carefully placed speakers that deliver clear, pure sound without distortion. Whether listening to your favorite playlist or podcast, drivers will find themselves immersed in the experience. It might be just the thing that a long or mundane drive calls for.

When we say the all-new LYRIQ is smart, that’s not just talking. The EV impresses drivers with its available hands-free smart Super Cruise technology that lets you relax while your Cadillac takes the wheel. Super Cruise is the very first system of its kind and offers a hands-free driving experience. The system currently works on over 750,000 miles of charted roadways across the US and Canada, with updates happening constantly to increase its potential. At the moment, a majority of Georgia’s highways are mapped by Super Cruise technology, including I-75. Hitting the road and enjoying everything the Peach State has to offer has never been this easy.

Revolutionizing Luxury

Cadillac has taken a big leap towards an electric future by introducing the LYRIQ—a small SUV that seats five and offers the right balance of modern sophistication and impressive performance. It’s not just the looks that capture attention, but the small details put into the LYRIQ’s design designed to attract a whole new generation of drivers to the Cadillac brand. This includes features like quiet cabin technology that employs the use of design elements as well as noise canceling materials and the cabin’s own stereo system to create a hushed cabin perfect for chatting with passengers, listening to music, or sitting back to silently reflect on the day while you drive.

With a commitment to a sustainable feature, the LYRIQ is a great poster child for Cadillac. State-of-the-art technology and thoughtful design create a harmonious blend of elegance and eco-consciousness that will appeal to drivers looking for more from their vehicle than just high-end materials or a zippy engine. With the LYRIQ, Cadillac offers more than a beautiful car; it is a lifestyle upgrade that redefines luxury for green-minded drivers.
