The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Tech Trim Misses Out On These Features

The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Tech trim level was introduced as a less expensive trim of the luxury electric crossover, making it more approachable for buyers who may not have the budget for a pricier, better-equipped model. However, in order to stay affordable, the Lyriq Tech lacks a number of features offered on higher-tiered trims. Below, Cadillac Society outlines the top 10 features missing from the base Lyriq Tech.

Super Cruise: the Lyriq Tech does not offer the luxury marque’s semi-autonomous driver assist system, meaning that it does not offer hands-free driving capabilities.
Active Noise Cancellation: Active Noise Cancellation helps mitigate noise inside the cabin. Without it, the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Tech’s interior is likely noisier than its more well-equipped counterparts.
AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system: the Lyriq Tech features a seven-speaker audio system as standard, and does not offer the AKG Studio system, even as an option. If sound is a priority, buyers should look at higher-tiered trims.
Multi-color ambient lighting: a nice touch to the cabin’s ambience, the Lyriq Tech lacks this feature.
Heated steering wheel and ventilated seats: depending on where you live and the weather you experience, these could be dealbreakers.
Front-seat massage: if you’re splurging for a luxury vehicle, why not opt for luxurious features? Alas, the Lyriq Tech doesn’t offer this feature.
Slimline LED headlights and taillamps with choreography: upgraded exterior lighting not only makes a statement, but can improve visibility, and it looks great in the Lyriq. Alas, the Lyriq Tech gets a set of LED headlights and taillights, but without the LED feature.
Rainsense wipers: handier than fumbling for a stalk on the steering wheel.
Black roof option: the Lyriq Tech lacks the sporty Black-painted roof.
Hands-free power liftgate: a handy feature that Lyriq Tech owners miss out on.

Check out the full list of features offered on all 2024 Cadillac Lyriq trims in the table below, including availability, and see just what the Tech trim level lacks compared to better-equipped Luxury and Sport trims.
