Interesting that they are on the same chassis. Good info.
Chevrolet Blazer EV vs. Cadillac LYRIQ
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
There are more gasoline powered vehicles on the road today than ever before.
I want a Prologue SS. Blazer EV SS with CarPlay. Would have been the perfect vehicle haha.
GM likes to kick themselves whenever they are on the up and up. Watched this company for 4 decades now, they love to succeed at bad decisions. BTW- we have 2 GMs (one brand new with CarPlay (gasoline)) but in the future if another one and there is no CarPlay, it MAY have us look elsewhere.
They're SO close to amazing, honestly. Despite a few minor things I really LOVED my Prologue. And obviously the lack of CarPlay didn't keep up from buying the Equinox EV. But yeah, since they've developed the software already, it would cost them literally nothing to offer CarPlay in all their EVs.
Heck, I'd be OK with CarPlay being optional and requiring an OnStar subscription (if OnStar was a reasonable price like $10/mo).
What's all that white stuff? Nice ride, by the way...One thing I forgot to add. Insurance on the LYRIQ is actually cheaper than the Blazer EV. $509 vs $606 for 6 months from State Farm. Cadillac drivers must be more careful on average?

That’s premium Lake Superior lake-effect goodness
It’s hard to tell from the photos available on the internet. Is there a rear wiper?One thing I forgot to add. Insurance on the LYRIQ is actually cheaper than the Blazer EV. $509 vs $606 for 6 months from State Farm. Cadillac drivers must be more careful on average?

No wiper on LYRIQ, but yes on Blazer EV.
Bummer. That LYRIQ is an amazing looking vehicle. I have a loaner sedan for the week while my GMC Sierra EV is in the shop and anytime it rains, it’s impossible to see out the rear window unless I’m at highway speeds.

The Blazer a digital rear camera. I expect the Lyriq has one as an option as well.
I just looked it up. Looks like the LYRIQ has a digital rear mirror and a washer. Better than nothing but still not as good as a rear wiper. My Toyota has a digital rear mirror which comes in handy when my rear window is obstructed with boxes and whatnot but the lack of depth of field is noticeable.
I assume many car manufacturers do the same. BMW does something similar with their employee plan.
Been getting tons of OTA updates on the LYRIQ lately. This week was GM’s biggest ever for the LYRIQ. They’re finally doing full Android Automotive OS updates via OTA.
654.50 today updated AAOS from 12 to 14. Also added all the streaming apps (which newer cars have). HBO Max, YouTube, Prime, etc.
New cluster gauges, menus, icons. Lots of updates.
I see Phone-As-A-Key just started coming out as a beta, some I assume that’ll be next. Then maybe Connect Cameras - although that’s only listed for the 2026 & newer LYRIQ, so we’ll see.

The release naming convention is sending me. I find it personally offensive.
Sounds like it’s pretty common with these to not come in numerical order sometimes. But this naming convention seems pretty new. For a while it was random strings of numbers, then “NXX-xxxxx”. Now they seem to have settled on this one
I just got 654.60 OTA today (in order)
