There is no frunk or funk.
The Cadillac Lyriq was first unveiled in its final production form this April. The electric crossover looks great with its unique LED-lined grille and sharp angles. The front trunk was missing in the prototype and will be present in the final production model.
This is a bit strange considering that many similar-sized (and smaller) electric cars have front trunks. The engineers at the Lyriq took a different approach to cargo space, according to Cadillac Society. The Lyriq’s engineers decided to make the rear cargo area as large as possible and prioritize it, thus giving it the largest cargo volume among its competitors.
Cadillac Society spokesperson Kate Minter explained that Lyriq is designed for customers who are looking for luxury SUVs with exceptional styling, ride and handling and seamlessly integrated technology. We’re currently looking at the Jaguar I-Pace and the Audi E-Tron in this instance.
The Cadillac Society comparison below shows how the Lyriq’s rear cargo space compares to other models. The E-Tron, I-Pace, and I-Pace have the so-called “frunk” as standard. This adds an additional 2.12 cubic feet and 0.95 cubes of cargo space, respectively.
| Cadillac Lyriq | Audi E-Tron | Jaguar I-Pace | |
| Volume of rear cargo behind the second row (cuft) | 28.0 | 28.5 | 25.3 |
| Volume of rear cargo behind the first row (cuft). | 60.8 | 56.5 | 51.0 |
| Frunk cargo volume (cu-ft) | N/A | 2.12 | 0.95 |
| Volume of rear cargo with rear seats up (cu-ft) | 28.0 | 30.62 | 26.25 |
