Fall in Michigan gives you a narrow window, and the best color runs along back roads that sat empty two weeks earlier. The 2027 Cadillac LYRIQ suits that kind of weekend better than most electric SUVs, for reasons beyond badge appeal. Jim Riehl’s Friendly Cadillac lays out why this model is worth pointing north once the leaves turn.
Range That Clears a Weekend Loop
Rear-wheel-drive models offer an EPA-estimated 326 miles of range from a 102-kWh battery, while all-wheel-drive versions are estimated between 303 and 319 miles depending on the onboard charger configuration. That clears a run from Clinton Township to Traverse City with room left to wander once you arrive.
Grip and Power for Unpredictable Pavement
The dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup produces a Cadillac-estimated 515 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, which matters less for speed than for composure on wet leaf-covered pavement. The single-motor rear-wheel-drive version produces a Cadillac-estimated 365 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Either way, a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs covers a small camper or a pair of kayaks on a trailer.
Cargo Room and a Cabin Built for Long Drives
Cargo volume measures 28 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 60.8 cubic feet with them folded, enough for duffels, a cooler, and muddy boots kept away from the rest of it. A SkyGlass™ panoramic roof comes standard and turns a canopy of color into part of the view. Cadillac Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is standard on every trim, so the long stretch of I-75 home asks less of you.
