Cadillac continues to push the luxury driving experience to new heights. The XT4, XT5, and XT6 offer drivers a choice in compact and midsize luxury SUVs. These models feature the sophisticated styling you've come to expect from Cadillac, as well as the capable powertrain and the latest technology to keep you safe and connected to the world around you. So how does a car company like Cadillac improve upon such quality? Enter the Cadillac Lyriq, an all-electric SUV that combines the luxury appointments you deserve with the cutting-edge electric power of the future. Let's look at how the Lyriq compares to the XT lineup from Cadillac. more Exterior Style The Cadillac Lyriq has soft, supple curves. Its low, wide stance gives the Lyriq and athletic posture. The Lyriq uses three-dimensional texturing to present a dramatic front fascia centered around the illuminated Cadillac shield, free from the need for a traditional front grille. In addition, the Lyriq's LED headlights stack, creating a thin, vertical headlamp in signature style. The same principle applied to the LED taillights adds dramatic fashion to the rear fascia. The gently sloping roof made entirely of glass offers exceptional views. A power sunshade adjusts the level of light you allow in. Lyriq rolls on standard 20-inch alloy wheels with diamond-cut Dark Android finish and Gloss Black aero inserts, or you can opt for the 22-inch dynamic split-spoke alloy wheels with polished Gloss Black finish. Cadillac wraps both wheels with low-profile, self-sealing tires. Cadillac's XT4 represents the smallest of the XT models yet still comes with the bold styling cues you expect from Cadillac. This compact SUV sits two-tenths of an inch taller than the Lyriq but has a much shorter width and length. In addition, the XT4's agile design was meant to conquer the tight quarters of city driving. With the XT5, you get a taller SUV, but still not as wide or long as the Lyriq. The midsize XT5 SUV shares many of the same design cues as the XT4, like the vertical daytime running lights and sweeping horizontal LED headlights. In addition, the XT4 and XT5 roll-on smaller yet still stylish 18-inch alloy wheels in various modern styles. Cadillac's XT6 also falls in the midsize SUV segment yet seats up to seven people. Again, the Lyriq sits lower, but the XT6 measures about the same width and is nearly six inches taller. The XT6 has an overall longer length than the Lyriq, but the Lyriq's wheelbase measures 10-inches more than the XT6's wheelbase. The difference in size results in the Lyriq's superior agility, and because the Lyriq has no engine/transmission tunnel, the interior cabin and cargo hold have more room. Performance Cadillac uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. In addition, available all-wheel-drive on each trim improves handling in those wintry conditions. The XT5 comes with the same powertrain standard. Or, you can upgrade to a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that puts out 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Again, you can opt for all-wheel drive on every trim level. The larger XT6 offers the same two powertrain configurations, but because of its construction can tow up to 4,000 pounds. Economy ratings reach up to 30 mpg for the XT4. You get a slight drop to 29 mpg on the XT5 with the 2.0-liter engine and up to 26 mpg with the 3.6-liter engine. The larger XT6 modestly drops to 18 mpg and 25 mpg with the same powertrain configurations. Tapping into the power of electricity, the Lyriq achieves an impressive 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The Lyriq has over 300 miles of driving range on a full charge. In addition, its fast-charging capability enables you to charge up to 76 miles of range in only ten minutes. The recommended 240-volt at-home charging station charges around 52 miles of range every hour. Cadillac's configuration of the twelve-module battery system allows for near-perfect weight distribution. The instantaneous power delivers a thrilling driving experience you won't find on the XT series combined with the five-link front and rear suspension systems. Technology Addition features on the Lyriq include Super Cruise, Cadillac's enhanced driver-assist cruise control system. Super Cruise enables virtually hands-free driving on over 200,000 roads in the United States. Your Lyriq can stay at a preset speed and distance while in traffic, change lanes without driver input, and even follow curves in the road and off-ramps. Currently, Cadillac doesn't offer Super Cruise on its XT lineup. However, they plan on introducing it in the 2022 model year. While the XT lineup includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, the Lyriq's built-in Google Assistant improves the technology suite on the Lyriq above the XT lineup. The Lyriq and XT lineup all use over-the-air updating systems. By updating over the air, your Cadillac remains operating at peak performance. In addition, your navigation and Super Cruise systems have the most current data to work with, making your drive more accurate. The driver-assist systems on the XT lineup and Lyriq use similar technology to the same impressive results. These driver-assist systems use radar and cameras to monitor your vehicle's surroundings, alerting you when they detect hazards. In addition, these systems can provide emergency braking and steering correction to help mitigate or avoid an accident in some instances. Every Cadillac model with driver-assist systems has a safety alert seat. This seat provides haptic feedback alerts, vibrating directionally toward the hazard. One significant technology advantage of the Lyriq is its 33-inch advanced LED display. Stretching across the dashboard, the screen curves slightly toward the driver and uses the same technology that produces motion pictures and video games, revolutionizing your driving experience. At Rydell Cadillac of Grand Forks, we know what luxury SUV drivers want. That's why we stock an expansive inventory of XT SUVs, all loaded with features you'll love and at prices that won't break your bank account. However, if you're ready to take your Grand Forks commute to the all-electric level, we can reserve a new Lyriq SUV at any time.

The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition stands at the cutting edge of electric vehicle technology. This new electric vehicle is so sought-after that its reservations sold out up to the summer of 2022. Find out why everyone wants to get their hands on this spectacular car below. more The Final Word in Electric Core Power The 2023 Lyriq comes with one of the most powerful standard electric cores made by a company in the United States, which drives the Lyriq forward with 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. This electric car is available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive and has a per-charge range of over 300 miles. Its standard charging rate per hour is 19.2 kW, while its fast-charging unit rate per hour is 190 kW. The battery core rests across the entire length of the vehicle in an electric car design first. This Ultima Battery Platform configuration gives it a nearly perfect 50:50 ratio of front to rear weight distribution, giving it the authentic feel of a sports car. Image via Flickr by Jeppi 94 CC by 2.0 Interior Features that Break the Mold The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq comes with more than just an innovative battery core placement configuration. This configuration is the first of their vehicles to go with a proper hands-free super cruise system. The hands-free driver assistance technology allows the Lyriq to drive over 200,000 miles of US and Canadian roadways. Super cruise allows the Lyriq to change lanes with driver oversight. Three years of map updates come with the system, so the accepted road network for the super cruise function will expand over time. A Connected Services plan must be purchased to gain more than three years of this service. The dashboard is unlike any yet seen in the American auto industry. It features a mind-blowing 33-inch curved diagonal advanced LED display that seamlessly integrates the driver's gauge cluster with all of the functions of a top-tier luxury infotainment system. In addition, it can be customized to shine in an astonishing one billion colors, making it the most vibrant and variable programmable display in the history of not just electric vehicles but driven vehicles in general. The speaker system on the Lyriq also breaks the mold, thanks to its innovative placement. Crystal clear quality stereo sound proceeds from all standard speaker locations, but the headrests have their speakers on either side, creating an authentic surround-sound experience for those in the pilot's seats. In addition, the intelligent, active noise cancellation system is capable of negating exterior sounds from the engine core, rainfall, other vehicles, and many other outside sources. This fantastic mitigation system cancels out even the sound of road vibration. These features update over the air, so these innovative technologies improve as you drive. Every time an update is downloaded and installed, you'll be informed of your spectacular billion-color 33-inch curved advanced diagonal LED display. Next-Generation Exterior Styling You've never seen a car exterior like this one before. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq features a lit grille with four major segments, arrow-shaped silver points aimed towards them from the nine-lamp LED headlight strips, and a smooth-as-silk set of body lines. It is available in two paint colors, but more will be added as time goes on. Satin Steel Metallic is the standard color available now, and Stellar Black Metallic will be available in the late fall of 2022. Two-wheel types are available for the 2022 Cadillac Lyriq. The first is 20-inches in size, featuring a split six-spoke alloy wheel with a diamond-cut dark android finish. Each of these wheels has gloss black aero inserts and comes with self-sealing all-season tires, so if you pop one on the road, you'll be able to make it to a repair shop before it goes flat enough to do wheel damage. The second available wheelset includes 22-inch reverse rims with a dynamic split-spoke design and a gloss black polished finish. Again, these wheels come with all-season self-sealing low-profile tires. High Standard and Training Safety with the Lyriq The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq comes with the Cadillac Smart System cluster of standard safety features. The automatic emergency braking system detects incoming collisions and helps the driver react accordingly after the forward collision alert sounds. In addition, the front pedestrian braking system prevents the Lyriq from moving forward when it detects someone on foot ahead, so you'll never hit a pedestrian as you tackle the road ahead. The parking sensors assist the driver in carefully parking the Lyriq without running into any unseen obstacles. The HD rear-vision camera feeds into the massive LED dash screen, so you'll be able to see whatever and whoever is behind you in rich detail. The teen driver system makes learning in the Lyriq as safe as possible. Through the settings menu on the massive console display, you'll be able to initialize and deactivate this system with a simple command code. When activated, the system keeps the car within the speed limits you designate and sets the sound system's maximum volume. A unique teen driver key comes with the system, so they only drive when you want them to. When their drive is done, the Lyriq teen driver system will send you a report card on their progress covering the distance driven, any antilock severe brake events, any serious stability control events, the highest speed reached, a list of forwarding collision and braking events, and more. 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Trim Levels The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq will be available in four trim levels: the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, and Platinum. The starting average cost of the base model has yet to be announced, but the Premium Luxury starts at $59,990, the Sport starts at $85,000, and the Platinum starts at $90,000.

If you're wondering what exactly a certified pre-owned Cadillac is, use this guide to enlighten yourself. more Pre-Owned vs Used Cadillacs Image via Unsplash by sniperprincezz There is a distinction between a certified pre-owned Cadillac and a used one. Certified pre-owned Cadillacs are a step above the used car class, thanks to several perks that come with them. Certified pre-owned vehicles are held to a higher standard of reliability and quality, and are meticulously inspected to ensure that you're getting the best new-to-you Cadillac for your money. If you're looking for a great deal on a luxury Cadillac, shopping a dealership's selection of certified pre-owned models may be the way to go. Whether you're looking for a family-ready Escalade, a luxury-minded sedan such as the CTS, or something in between such as the XT SUV series, you can find plenty of more affordable price tags if you're willing to buy a slightly driven and older model. Let's dive into what makes buying a certified pre-owned Cadillac worth your time and money. Cadillac's 172-Point Inspection Before any used vehicle gets the certified pre-owned designation, it must first pass a 172-point inspection. These exhaustive tests are designed to make sure that any Cadillac that's certified pre-owned is a Cadillac you can trust. During this inspection, the Cadillac will be searched from top to bottom for anything that might cause problems down the road. Both the interior and exterior are inspected. The licensed technicians will look at both aesthetic and functional issues, following up with a full detailing to make the Cadillac look as good as new. Though many used models are perfectly fine for those looking for a good deal, it's the models which can pass this extensive inspection that are eligible to be certified pre-owned. After the Cadillac becomes a certified pre-owned model, technicians are dedicated to making sure it gets all of its scheduled maintenance taken care of until it finds a home with you. Each eligible Cadillac model also gets a vehicle history report that will let you know what the vehicle's previous life entailed. With the Cadillac mark of approval and transparent honesty, certified pre-owned Cadillacs are hard to pass up if you don't absolutely have to have the latest model. Certified Pre-Owned Warranties When you purchase a certified pre-owned Cadillac from a quality licensed Cadillac dealership, you'll also get a limited warranty to protect you should any surprises appear down the line. Rydell Cadillac of Grand Forks offers a 1-year warranty with unlimited miles. This perk is offered both to protect you from an unlikely unforeseen issue with your used Cadillac, as well as to show you how confident we are that your certified pre-owned vehicle can handle what you throw at it. If you purchase a Cadillac from the last four model years, its original 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty may still apply. Once this original warranty is up, the certified pre-owned 1-year warranty begins to continue your coverage. This system gives you up to a maximum of 5 years of warranty protection should something in your Cadillac go awry. On top of this warranty, you'll get a 24-hour roadside assistance service for the life of the warranty. When you choose a certified pre-owned Cadillac, you're also choosing a support team that can come to your assistance when needed wherever your adventures take you. Cadillac Extras for Certified Vehicles Cadillac offers several additional benefits to sweeten the pot for drivers who choose to purchase a certified pre-owned Cadillac. For starters, if you ever have to take advantage of the warranty because your vehicle requires repairs, Cadillac keeps you on the road with a courtesy transportation program until your pre-owned model is back in action. If you purchased a Cadillac model capable of streaming SiriusXM, you'll get a complimentary three-month subscription that you can use to give your drives the perfect soundtrack. You'll also be able to participate in the My Cadillac Rewards program: Every time you purchase a certified pre-owned Cadillac, you'll get 6,000 My Cadillac Rewards. You get 1,000 points just for enrolling in the points program. You can save your points to purchase offerings such as an OnStar protection plan, genuine Cadillac accessories, certified service maintenance visits, or even to help pay for your next Cadillac. Who Can Sell Certified Pre-Owned Cadillacs? Not everyone can sell these trustworthy pre-owned cars. If you're interested in finding a luxury vehicle for a more affordable price tag, you'll want to visit a certified pre-owned Cadillac dealership. Quality Cadillac dealerships will offer both brand-new models and certified pre-owned models. For a Cadillac to be eligible for the certified pre-owned program, it must be less than 2 years old or have fewer the 50,000 miles on the odometer. It also must pass the 172-point inspection and a road test. A large reason why that is is that Cadillac and its dealerships want to make sure that you can trust the certified pre-owned program's promise of quality, reliable, and long-living previously owned vehicles.
