First Drive: 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is a departure in more ways than one:

that extends more than halfway across the dashboard. The portion directly in front of the driver provides a configurable instrument cluster, while the area to the right takes care of the usual infotainment functions. Thankfully, there are hard buttons for the HVAC controls. And all of the seat-related switches are on the doors. But there's perhaps too many items relegated to the screen, and some of the menu logic is frustrating.

If all you have is the 120V outlet and you deplete your Lyriq, charging it will take more than three days. But if you have one of the 240V/50A sockets, that will come down to about 12 hours, an easy overnight charge. And if you purchase the optional wall charger and install 240V/100A service to charge at 19.2 kW, you can recharge a flat battery in around six hours.

One-pedal driving is part of the Lyriq experience, and the driver can select low and high regenerative braking modes and also turn the function off. In high mode, the car can provide as much as 0.3 g of deceleration, which is more than enough for most driving situations. In an additional twist, there is a pressure-sensitive paddle on the left side of the steering wheel, with which one can generate regenerative braking, regardless of which mode of one-pedal driving is selected.
