MG Cyberster vs Cadillac Lyriq

What's the difference?

Remember when MG’s first convertible sports car came out? I don’t, I’m 30. But I remember when the most recent one came out.

It’s got a weird name and it’s very hard to avoid drawing attention to yourself when you get out of it at the shops… but should you buy one?

I’ve been getting about in the new MG Cyberster to answer exactly that question.

General Motors Australia & New Zealand (GMANZ) has recently expanded its full-electric Cadillac SUV range in Australia from one to three models, with the new Optiq and Vistiq joining the pioneering Lyriq in the company's local line-up of luxurious US-sourced SUVs and pickups.

The five-seater Lyriq is now the happy medium of the Cadillac trio, as it’s positioned between the smaller Optiq and larger Vistiq; the latter with a unique seven-seat design.

We recently spent a week aboard the Lyriq to see if its opulence, practicality, performance, driving range and price provide a compelling alternative to full-electric or combustion-powered rivals for high-end luxury SUV buyers.
