Cadillac Lyriq in Cold Weather
Above-average winter retention: a bigger pack than most Ultium-based SUVs, plus the standard heat pump, keeps percentage losses lower in absolute terms.

Cold-weather tips
- 1
Use built-in navigation to DC chargers
Triggers automatic preconditioning ahead of arrival.
- 2
Schedule departure while plugged in
Warms the cabin and the larger pack from wall power before you leave.
- 3
Use seat and wheel heat on short trips
More efficient than heating the whole cabin.
- 4
Take advantage of the bigger pack on road trips
The extra kWh over Ultium siblings means fewer winter charging stops on longer drives.
