Cadillac Lyriq - Right Hand Drive!

[rodericb]

The Lyriq is "locked in" to be sold in Australia in 2024 which means it'll be manufactured (yes, manufactured, not converted) in right hand drive.

As this thread got a bump I'll give an update on this ve-hickle. The first articles I linked to said it'd be competing with the BMW ix. It eats the iX price-wise here. It's around the same price as the Kia EV9. Around the same price as a Polestar 3 single motor.

If you're interested, here are the EV's on sale in Australia and their prices: https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/results/?q=(And.Se...

Not driven one but we were picked up by a chauffeur from our hotel in LA who drove us to LAX. Interior is very nice and luxurious in a typical gaudy Cadiallac way. Space in the back was roomy if not as roomy as other US SUVs. Ride and vehicle noise was much better than ICE SUVs as you would expect. Acceleration seemed good. Chatted to the driver about it and in particular about electric range - his comment was that range was around 300 miles (this make it the RWD model) but charging did not seem fast. Given the choice of BMW ix50 or above or Cadilllac Lyriq I would chose the BMW (in the UK)
