Travel Destinations

As EVs continue to rightfully earn their spot in the automotive world, there's no better time to learn the new destinations you can reach! On a full charge, the 2023 LYRIQ has over a Cadillac-estimated 300-mile driving range¹, giving you plenty of opportunities to discover the country. Since EVs are easy on the environment, you can now consciously visit nature and appreciate all that it has to offer in places like the Lake Paho State Wildlife Area in Mercer County, MO. Sandusky, OH is 300 miles away from Naperville, allowing you to enjoy every ride in Cedar Point. But before you head back home, make sure to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum! As always, it's better to be safe than sorry, so we recommend researching available charging points along the way to ensure you reach your desired destination without trouble.

About the 2023 LYRIQ

As previously stated, you can expect to go quite far when you're behind the wheel of the 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ, but that's not all you can look forward to when you obtain this model. Thanks to the standard 100.4 kWh battery and rear-wheel Ultium Drive unit, you get to command a Cadillac-estimated 340 horsepower² and 325 lb.-ft. of torque. Super Cruise™³ is available on this SUV, granting hands-free driver assistance for compatible roads. A full-glass roof with a power interior sunshade is one standard feature that you'll surely want to utilize, especially at night or during summertime. Regardless of when you decide to go out on your trip, you can expect to combat extreme outdoor temperatures with the standard heating and ventilation functions provided in the front-row seats.

Maintenance Preparations

In addition to packing appropriately, there are multiple steps to be taken to ensure that your road trip is accomplished with ease. Although electric vehicles do not require an engine and their accompanying parts, you will still need to maintain a fair amount of identical components of a gas-powered vehicle. Some of these necessary tasks include wiper blade and cabin air filter replacements, as the former works to keep your vision clear while the latter allows for clean oxygen ventilation within the model. And, because your tires serve the same purpose as engine-operated rides, you won't want to overlook routine rotations, along with tread and pressure checks. 

Now that you've got some EV travel destinations near Naperville, IL, in mind, it's time to prepare! We at Heritage Cadillac are prepared to answer any questions, so don't hesitate to contact our staff.
