G-Rated
I think you can’t go wrong with either the Chevy Blazer or Cadillac Lyriq for several reasons. They’re amongst the best in their respective categories in design alone but then you’re also going to love the way that they drive compared to other EV if you’ve matured enough and prefer a more comfortable spirited journey. I’m not too excited about the Acura ZDX or Prologue in comparison and I think that’s why Honda backed out of the deal. These two are going to kill the rebadged jobs that Honda is trying to sell their customers. I say it all of the time but the lack of originality of other manufacturers and the fact that gm is thriving while being so unique truly is impressive especially nowadays when so many just copy what’s popular.

Definitely agree the Lyriq's sound system is not great (but I'm also not a crazy audiophile, so it's of no real concern for me.
Overall though, I just can't get behind the Blazer's interior. It just looks too toyish to me. Combine that with the awesome horsepower, range, and charging speed of the Lyriq, for not really that large of a price jump, there's no question in my mind what vehicle I choose. The Lyriq is just a more complete package.
I also love the under console storage area in the Lyriq.

You're going to miss me when I'm gone, is just an absolutely perfect song to be playing on carplay on the lyric. I don't mention it in every video. But, Alex I want you to know that I watch basically every video and I check every single time. And I really appreciate how awesome your song Choices are for each of your reviews they are just absolutely the best! Naturally, you also provide really great car journalism and opinion but I just want you to know that people notice and appreciate it

I've been reading that the audio issues might have something to do with the noise canceling system, also that's one of the most complained about things about it so one could cross their fingers for a software update to improve things. I know an early complaint had to do with the HVAC not getting cold enough and they pushed a software update to crank it up so hopefully they come through on the audio portion of that as well.

We have the lyriq sport and really like everything about it especially the AKG sound system. It has 19 speakers with 2 in each head rest. I have had about 20 new chevy cars and trucks with Bose sound system which are good but not as good as the AKG. This is by far the nicest suv we have had. The Buick onclave was quiet but not as quiet as the Lyriq.

Alex, I was hoping you would do a comparison between these two. (Actually, I was hoping to have a comparison with these PLUS the Honda Prologue, too! Maybe you can do a separate comparison with the Blazer and the Prologue) You alway do such a good job with your reviews: clear, concise and practical items mentioned. Thanks)

14: 16 I knew my Sport 2 Lyriq didn’t have the 3-zone climate control and therefore there was a blank area where the controls are. I tested my salesman as to why they’re blank and if I was missing a feature and he said no. LOL. The salesman didn’t deserve the commission he got on the sale. It should have gone to Alex.

Team Blazer for sure. I like a lot of what the Lyriq offers but at the same time the Blazer has almost everything I want and nothing I don't, it's more my style, and it better fits what I want to spend on a car. I just wish I could get the non-SS AWD with the bigger battery pack.
Nice comparison.

Thank you for mentioning the HVAC vent differences. The Blazer EV I drove had pretty good airflow front and back, whereas the Lyriq had marginal vents in front that were hard to direct, and laughably inadequate vents in back that couldn't begin to cool that area on a really hot day.

Although im not the biggest proponent of all electric vehicles, GM is absolute killing it with their implementation. Aside from the missing carplay, they have technology, luxury, and design. If i were in the market they would definitely be on the short list.

Do you happen to remember what you thought of the Bose system in the Ariya Coming from my Tesla it was a definite downgrade when I got my Ariya. It seems to be lacking in the higher frequencies. Sounds like the AKG system in the Lyric is not so great either.

22: 16 if the reason GM continues to give CarPlay on Lyriq and doesn’t do so on Equinox EV or Blazer EV is to push buyers to purchase the more expensive car, then their strategy certainly worked on me.

AKG in Lyriq is the best sound system I have ever heard in a car in this price range. I absolutely love that neither bass nor treble is exaggerated by design, like most other supposedly high end systems.

I love my iPhone and its reliability as far as software updates are concerned. I don’t trust GM with OTA updates of the Android software. I will stick to cars with CarPlay, thanks.

I know I'm in the minority but I generally prefer silence when I drive. Just a nice relaxing time alone with my thoughts.
Hence, I don't care about the missing AA.

9: 43 Wait a damn second. The roller style cargo cover is standard I didn’t get one with my purchase of a new Lyriq. I guess I have to call the dealership.

I also was not initially impressed with the EKG stereo on my Lyriq. But then I got into the settings and tweeked some things and now it sounds fantastic.

Absolutely love my Lyriq without question. Here in Canada the difference between Blazer and Lyriq was only $8, 000. The decision was very very easy

5: 20 190 kW I wish. I charged at EVGo 200 kW charger twice since I bought my Lyriq 1 week ago and the best I got was 80 kW even when I plugged in at

Hey Alex, just wanted to ask how are the insurance premiums for the car's you have been leasing
Has the cost gone exponential with EV vehicles
