If a car has any weaknesses, the Hume Highway and the Southern Highlands will expose them. The LYRIQ did the opposite.

Bowral\u2019s stations were mostly Tesla only. We also stopped at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.centennial.net.au\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centennial Winery<\/a> where the Tesla chargers are notoriously temperamental and they wanted nothing to do with the LYRIQ. Mildly frustrating but not a deal breaker. The chargers down the road by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/exploren.com.au\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exploren<\/a> did the trick. About $19 for 150km of charge, which took 1 hour.<\/p><p>This is the current reality of EV life in regional Australia and it will improve as more universal chargers roll out. It did not ruin the weekend, but it was a reminder that infrastructure still needs to catch up.<\/p>                <div class=\"row row-center collapse\">\n                    <div class=\"column\">\n                        <div class=\"dmg-ad\"><div id=\"incontent-130961138\" class=\"ad-container\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var load_1932772862 = function () {googletag.cmd.push(function () {var slot_1932772862 = googletag.defineSlot(\"\/1017963\/DMarge\/incontent\",[[250,250],[300,100],[300,250],[320,100],[336,280]],\"incontent-130961138\").addService(googletag.pubads()).setTargeting('refresh', 'true');if (gamData && gamData.sizeMap && gamData.sizeMap.hasOwnProperty('incontent')) {slot_1932772862.defineSizeMapping(gamData.sizeMap['incontent']);}googletag.display(\"incontent-130961138\");});};adsQueue.push(load_1932772862);<\/script><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <p>Once charged and back on the road, the LYRIQ returned to doing what it does best. <\/p><p>The panoramic roof opened the cabin to the sky and filled it with soft afternoon light as we moved through the Highlands.

The quiet cabin. The sense of strength and serenity that grows the longer you drive it.<\/p><p>The Cadillac LYRIQ is not trying to imitate Europe. It offers a different flavour of luxury. A calm, confident, modern SUV that brings a refreshing energy to a crowded segment. After a full weekend in the Southern Highlands it left a clear impression.<\/p><p>Sure, EVs may not be everyone\u2019s cup of matcha but if the LYRIQ represents Cadillac\u2019s future, the brand is moving in the right direction.
