The Lyriq is a pretty cool electric SUV if you're looking for edgy style and 300-plus-mile range. If the acceleration doesn't hit hard enough for you, check out the dual motor variant.
It's amazing how little Cadillac charges to add a second motor to the Lyriq. For just a few grand more than the base single-motor setup, you not only get all-wheel drive with the second motor — you also get a huge injection of power and torque that turns the Lyriq into the EV SUV equivalent of a muscle car. The dual-motor Lyriq's trap speed (speed at the quarter-mile mark) of 113 mph is serious stuff by any standard, not to mention a whopping 14 mph faster than the single-motor Lyriq could manage. Also, you only lose seven miles of maximum range in return for all that performance. Talk about a no-brainer upgrade; we can't see a single reason not to go for it.
