5000 words long article tells you: traditional luxury brands can build a good smart electric car?

In recent years, the automotive market has shown a mainstream development trend, that is: intelligent pure electric is becoming more and more popular.

In the past, new car brands have dominated the "cake" of smart electric vehicles. As for the traditional luxury brands, they are ignored by many car enthusiasts.

Not to do, does not mean that there is no strength, no bottom to do.

When the traditional luxury brands make their presence felt, they have advantages in some areas that the new forces may not really be able to match.

This is not an empty statement.

Because not too long ago, I got my hands on a Cadillac LYRIQ Rekord and tested it in depth. What exactly is the product power? Is it worth buying? Here's the deal for now, so read on!

Cadillac LYRIQ Rui Ge Basic Information

Starting from the design, we do not want to be new and innovative, but we want to be smooth and easy on the eyes

Nowadays, the design of many intelligent pure electric models are moving towards the direction of the "spaceship".

The design of many smart pure electric vehicles is now moving in the direction of "spaceships".

That's not a false statement.

We can see that a lot of new smart pure electric cars are mashing up some pretty forward-thinking designs in order to catch everyone's eye.

It can't be denied that such ahead-of-the-curve designs do bring enough novelty, but the question is, are they really durable enough?

In terms of design, I think some of the new power players really need to learn from traditional luxury brands like Cadillac.

To summarize, I have only four words for the LYRIQ Ruge's exterior design: eclectic.

First, let's talk about what sets this car apart from Cadillac's family of fuel SUVs in terms of appearance.

With its closed front styling, the LYRIQ Rekall can be perceived more clearly as a new energy vehicle.

And, its exterior stance features the slinky coupe design that is relatively rare in the Cadillac SUV family.

But the car's coupe-like design isn't a "just make the butt rounder" kind of thing.

The slender body, the sloping roof through the rear dual color scheme, and the taillights that extend behind the C-pillar make for a harmonious coupe look.

I personally think that the styling of the LYRIQ Rekord is one of the more elegant and enduring designs among all coupe SUVs currently available, which brings elegance and a certain amount of tension, and gives people a good feeling.

In addition, while highlighting the "new", LYRIQ Rui Ge actually pays more attention to heritage design.

For example, in the front face, the designers have adopted a shield-type treatment, and then added the element of light, so that even if the logo is blocked, it can be seen at a glance that this is a Cadillac.

In fact, to this extent, the LYRIQ Rekall has found a balance between innovation and heritage, and it looks great.

But it's clear that the designers didn't want to stop there, so you'll find that its innovation and heritage are also reflected in many details.

For example, its front high and low beams and daytime running lights, both in the form of a longitudinal layout, through a narrow lens, presenting a rather strong sense of the future, and through the longitudinal layout, it also highlights Cadillac's brand DNA.

Even when I came to the interior of the car, the LYRIQ Rekord gave me the same feeling.

The 33-inch surround-screen Ultra Retina screen, naturally, puts the technology in place, about which we'll put it on the back burner.

I mainly want to share with you the design of the car, which is actually innovative while incorporating many classic luxury elements.

For example, on the trim behind the oversized screen, this car also brings the Cadillac Shield badge that glows.

It goes without saying that the shield has always been a Cadillac icon, while the waterfowl motif on the car is more like a little egg.

In fact, it's also an element from Cadillac's historic logo.

The interplay of these elements on the LYRIQ Rekord, in my opinion, not only pays homage to the classics, but also serves to build on the past.

It's not just a tribute to the classics, it's also a way to build on them.

On top of these classic elements, LYRIQ is also committed to creating some new luxury styles.

For example, the crystal diamond electric control knob of the center console, the minimalist leafless air vents, the air vent knob with fine texture, the chrome strip design of the cup holders with special parametric design texture, and even the ambient lighting of the door panels are all **** the same as Cadillac's "new luxury" concept. The concept of Cadillac's "New Luxury" is embodied in the same way.

The car even has an artistic touch that emphasizes the car's premium feel.

Another detail I like is that the LYRIQ's rear spoiler is hollowed out, with fluted, crystalline high-mounted brake lights "set" in the center of the spoiler, and that's not even the most unusual.

What's more, it's the hollowed-out design that's both design and practical. On the one hand, it creates a sense of hierarchy, and on the other hand, it's also helpful for aerodynamics, and on the other hand, it clears the dust from the rear windshield as the air flows through the gap, which explains why the SUV doesn't have a rear wiper.

Of course, there are a few niggling points, such as the fact that the LYRIQ's glovebox is controlled by a motorized unlocking mechanism, but the button for unlocking it is located in the large screen, which really enhances the sense of technology, but is not as user-friendly from an ease-of-use point of view.

Additionally, perhaps to achieve consistency in the interior design language, the LYRIQ's dashboard speaker cover is designed with a number of textures, and the cover is positioned close to the front windshield, so in bright light, a slight reflection of the textures can be seen on the front windshield at certain moments.

How does LYRIQ pursue luxury on an experiential level over design?

In fact, even if we talk about the interior and exterior design of the LYRIQ Rekord, as transparently and thoroughly as possible, we can find a core purpose of this car, which is to present as much luxury as possible.

It's evident that making the experience more luxurious is at the heart of the LYRIQ Rekord, and it's also a centerpiece when it comes to the car's interior layout and configuration.

First, let's talk about the car's base setup.

Once I got the LYRIQ Rekord in real life, I realized that this guy is still a bit bigger than I expected.

A length of more than 5 meters, a width of 1.9 meters, and a wheelbase of nearly 3.1 meters puts it squarely in the mid-size luxury SUV range.

One of the most intuitive benefits of its large size is the superior feeling of interior space.

Particularly its seats, in addition to wide, the support for the human body is also more in place, and the front row is also equipped with headrests sound, in my opinion, the overall ride quality, no less than some 700,000-800,000 traditional luxury cars.

Of course, the large size can also bring a lot of advantages in the details.

For example, in terms of space and storage capacity, in addition to a large trunk, it also has a lot of good space layout in the cabin.

For example, in the front row, the floating center armrest design not only reduces the sense of separation between the main driver and the passenger, but also the open storage box underneath, the drawer storage box under the control buttons, these clever spatial design, although it does not directly affect the comfort of the ride, but it is also considered to enhance the vehicle's sense of convenience, which, in my view, can be reflected in the Cadillac's maturity of design.

Of course, in addition to ride comfort and convenience, we are also concerned about the vehicle's NVH performance.

To summarize, it's a car that manages to be remarkably quiet inside, even when it's going fast.

Also, the storage boxes are lined in blue to add an extra touch of color to the ambiance of the car.
