Car and Driver
explains that the rear-wheel-drive option will come as standard, and the motor will be placed on the rear axle. However, car owners will have a chance to choose an all-wheel model that adds a second motor at the front. The rear-wheel-drive powertrain will provide 340 horsepower, while the all-wheel-drive model will deliver 500 horsepower.The vehicle uses a new EV battery technology called Ultium. It is a scalable technology that allows the automaker to create batteries that range from 50 kWh to 200 kWh based on their needs.
The Lyric will come with a 100-kWh battery with a driving range of 312 miles per full charge when using a single motor. The range will be a little shorter with the dual-motor setup.
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq also has a smooth ride thanks to the 5-link suspension system that allows independent tuning for the front and rear axles for superior and smoother rides.
In addition, it has on-demand modes, Sport, Snow, Tour, and My Mode, to enable drivers to choose their preference depending on the road conditions.

The concept car that Cadillac showcased to the public had four seats. It also has a center console that extends to the rear seats. Rear seat passengers also have a touchscreen for their entertainment. However, the model is expected to have a rear bench in a five-seat configuration with lots of legroom, thanks to its SUV design.

explains that the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq comes with advanced noise cancellation technology that insulates the passengers from outside noise. Entertainment will be served via a 33-inch curved LED, just like in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade.
