It’s hard to remember exactly when Cadillac last lived up to its old advertising tagline, “The Standard of the World.” It was once more than a slogan; it was true.
Certainly, Cadillac sells some excellent rides, such as their new high-performance Blackwing models. But the company has long struggled to regain its former luxury market dominance. It's a crowded and competitive field, and Cadillac executives have marked the brand’s transition to an all-electric lineup for its reemergence. This makes the Lyriq their most important product in years, and the first true Cadillac since the debut of the second-generation CTS sedan, coupe and wagon in 2003.
The Lyriq’s excellence is evident in its engineering, design and execution, with GM sweating the details like few cars in its current lineup.
