It is not difficult to see the enthusiasm of consumers from the result that the pre-sale order 1 hour exceeded 2000 units. This enthusiasm, on the one hand, may come from its excellent design and configuration, on the other hand, it may come from its pricing (439,700-479,700 yuan) which is not too high compared with the new car-making forces.
As Cadillac's first model based on Ultium Autoenergy platform, LYRIQ Sharp can be said to be a model that quickly comes out of the concept map. Even if the real car is in front of us, if it is a production car, we will still feel trance.
The iconic front face of the shield style and the large-area black crystal grille, even if the luminous logo is covered, people will recognize it as a Cadillac at a glance. The black crystal grille makes the closed front face no longer bare, and the lines in the grille are 58 LED strips. When the vehicle is unlocked, the turn signal, the middle net light bar and the headlights are lit in turn, which is full of ceremony.
It is worth mentioning that this streamer-star rain in-line LED headlight adopts the smallest horizontal lens in the industry, with a width of only 15mm, which is highly recognizable. Nine modules in the single headlight can realize 36-pixel control, which can not only realize the intelligent switching function of far and near light, but also realize the animation effect of water drop version, which is full of science and technology.
Coming to the side, we can see at a glance that LYRIQ Sharp adopted the design elements of Coupe SUV. Thanks to the length, width and height of 5003/ 1977/ 1637mm and the wheelbase of 3094mm, LYRIQ Riggs' body is quite slender and has the beauty of a coupe, especially the slip back lines at the rear are very sporty. With 20-inch wheels and highly designed taillights, it forms a layered rear design.
Before entering the car, LYRIQ Riggs had a slightly puzzling design. LYRIQ Riggs didn't use the pop-up door handle that is popular now. Its door handle is more like a switch. After pressing it, it will only open a small crack in the door, and then people need to go through the small protrusions on the window to open the heavier door. In fact, a similar door opening method has also appeared on Ford Mustang Mach-E, except that the door opening button of the electric horse is located next to the door bump. This design of Riggs is a bit innovative for innovation.
Entering the car, you will also recognize the interior design from Cadillac at a glance. Different from the common minimalist design of new energy vehicles, Cadillac chose a simple but luxurious design style for LYRIQ Ruige. With a large area of leather coverage and interior materials's excellent choice, LYRIQ can still find the sense of luxury that American luxury should have.
However, this does not mean that LYRIQ Riggs refused to follow suit. The 33-inch curved screen with 9K resolution in front of the driver and on the center console is the most attractive part of the interior. Unlike the dual-screen design on many models, LYRIQ Sharp is equipped with a complete screen, which can be operated by touch except for the position of the dashboard. With a maximum brightness of 850 nits, a dynamic contrast ratio of 100000: 1 and a pixel per inch of 27 1ppi, this screen is far more exquisite in size and display.
In terms of performance, thanks to the Qualcomm 8 155 chip carried by the whole system, the ride comfort of the car can be completely guaranteed, and the response speed and touch feedback can be regarded as the first echelon. The only regret is that the test drive model is a test drive, so you can't log in to the owner's account, and you can't experience functions such as assisted driving and online update of APP. You can only expect the performance of subsequent production cars.
In details, LYRIQ Riggs also has many impressive places, such as the solid wood decorative board with white cork and the "jewel box" storage compartment in the car, and it is equipped with 26-color atmosphere lights swaying trees, the electric control knob of Menshield crystal drill, and the "Waterbird" logo carved at the end of the dashboard. These fully reflect the pursuit of luxury in the car.
In addition to the eye-catching central control screen, the AKG sound equipped with LYRIQ Ruige is another "amazing" soul configuration. As the first cooperation between AKG, a well-known audio brand, and an automobile company, LYRIQ Riggs received acoustic assistance from AKG from the design stage. The whole vehicle is equipped with 19 speakers including headrest speakers, and the rated power is as high as1400W. After hundreds of hours of high, medium, low, delayed, dynamic and static tuning, the sound is perfectly integrated with LYRIQ sharp songs.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best sound quality I have experienced recently. The resolution of the whole sound system is excellent. When listening to the symphony, you can feel that it provides a wide sound field, and the positions of various instruments are quite clear, and the low frequencies are deep enough, but at the same time, they are not too ear-grabbing, and the middle and high frequencies are quite balanced. The meaning of LYRIQ's sharp song "Endeavour, Sing Words" is extremely appropriate at this time. It's a car that can sing well.
In terms of power, LYRIQ Riggs have two power options, of which two rear-drive models are equipped with rear-mounted single permanent magnet synchronous motors, with a maximum power of 255kW, a maximum torque of 440n·m, an acceleration of 6.35s per 100 kilometers and a cruising range of 653km under CLTC conditions; The top four-wheel drive model adopts front and rear double permanent magnet synchronous motors, with a total power of 375kW and a total torque of 710n m, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is further shortened to 4.9s All three models are equipped with ternary lithium batteries with a capacity of 95.7kWh. The official slow charging time is15.5h, and the fast charging time is about 40 minutes (charging to 80% of the power).
In terms of energy supplement, Riggs gave three schemes: Cadillac IQ exclusive overcharge station, Autoenergy overcharge station and interconnected charging station. Among them, Cadillac IQ enjoys the super charging station, which is located in the core business district of the city and is the exclusive charging station for Cadillac new energy owners. Cadillac IQ App also integrates a large number of third-party charging piles, including many mainstream charging operators in the market, such as special calls, star charging, EV energy and so on. Covering 320 cities and more than 300,000 piles. Users don't need to download many apps of charging operators.
The model we test drive this time is the subsequent long-life luxury version, single motor. Because only one engine is located at the rear axle, the front cabin has a front cabin that can accommodate a 20-inch boarding box, which adds a little space flexibility to the whole vehicle. However, the four-wheel drive model does not have this front cabin because it has to discharge the motor on the front axle.
Thanks to the dynamic characteristics of the motor, the vehicle starts quite lightly, the power output is particularly linear, it is easy to get started, and there is almost no feeling of driving a "big car". In sport mode, the power supply is always available. When you step on the accelerator gently, the power will arrive, and overtaking is very easy. In addition to sports mode, the new car also provides four driving modes: travel mode, ice and snow mode and my mode (user-defined) * * *, which are suitable for many different car scenes. No matter what kind of driving mode, as long as you don't choose to enter the single pedal mode in the central control panel, the vehicle will not recover its kinetic energy after releasing the accelerator pedal while driving.
Speaking of braking, LYRIQ Sharp not only has a brake pedal in a normal position with strong feedback but sufficient braking force, but also places a kinetic energy recovery paddle on the left rear side of the steering wheel to allow the driver to recover kinetic energy in non-pedal mode, thus achieving deceleration. At the same time, this kinetic energy recovery paddle is not a switch, it is linear. Its kinetic energy recovery will increase with the increase of the stroke length of your stroke, and you can even replace the brake pedal to some extent after getting familiar with it. This is a quite unique function of LYRIQ Riggs.
On the chassis side, with the support of front and rear five-bar suspension and adaptive damping control shock absorber, LYRIQ Sharp still has good lateral support on the premise of ensuring comfort. The suspension thoroughly filters small bumps, coupled with a relatively calm but not heavy steering feeling and excellent NVH performance, making LYRIQ's driving experience quite excellent.
Brand-new platform, brand-new design, brand-new function and brand-new configuration level all make LYRIQ Ruige so different. Undoubtedly, it not only represents the highest level of Cadillac's electric field, but also represents the latest exploration of GM and even American brands in the electric field. & lt/p
