When it comes to driving, most of us would say we prefer to be behind the wheel. After all, nothing beats the thrill of a twisty mountain road or the satisfaction of tackling a scenic route on your own terms. But let’s be honest: not every drive is exciting. Long, straight stretches of highway can be tedious, and that’s where advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) come in. While many automakers offer hands-on help, none has impressed MotorTrend’s editors quite like General Motors’ Super Cruise, which is why it has earned the title of 2025 MotorTrend Best Tech Winner for Driver Assistance. So, what sets Super Cruise apart? For those unfamiliar, Super Cruise allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals on certain mapped highways. Unlike some systems that attempt to handle all driving scenarios, Super Cruise is thoughtfully designed for where it works best: long-distance highway travel. The key to its success lies in its precision and scope — Super Cruise isn’t a free-for-all like Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD), but it’s far from limited. By the end of 2025, GM expects Super Cruise to operate on about 750,000 miles of mapped roads across the U.S. and Canada—nearly double the coverage offered in 2022. But range alone didn’t earn Super Cruise the top spot. What truly makes it a standout is how it supports attentive driving while making highway miles less fatiguing. We’ve all experienced that moment of realizing we can’t quite remember the last few miles. A sign of highway hypnosis. Super Cruise helps prevent that by managing speed, steering, and lane positioning, so drivers can focus on what matters most: scanning ahead for hazards and staying alert. It strikes the right balance, offering relief from the monotony of long drives without dulling driver engagement. The system’s thoughtful design goes beyond the basics. Super Cruise can change lanes automatically with a tap of the turn signal, like other high-end ADAS systems. But it takes it a step further: after passing slower traffic, it automatically returns the vehicle to its proper lane. Even when towing, something that would make most of us hesitate to remove our hands from the wheel, Super Cruise performs with confidence and control, applying the same careful logic as an experienced driver. “We believe the best driver assistance tech isn’t the one that promises to do the most; it’s the one that reduces fatigue without compromising safety,” says the MotorTrend team. Another standout feature of Super Cruise is how it communicates with drivers. Clear signals, including illuminated steering wheel bars, dash icons, and subtle seat vibrations, make it easy to know when Super Cruise is engaged and when it needs you to take over. If a driver fails to respond to these escalating alerts, Super Cruise will gently bring the vehicle to a stop and contact OnStar for assistance. In short: it’s designed to earn your trust, not demand it. In selecting the Best Tech winner, MotorTrend evaluated innovation, ease of use, value, safety, and privacy. Super Cruise excelled in every category, offering a driver assistance experience that’s not just impressive on paper, but genuinely useful and confidence-inspiring on the road. As Super Cruise continues to evolve, available on 20 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models and expanding its mapped coverage, MotorTrend hopes other manufacturers take note. For long drives and daily commutes alike, GM has set a new benchmark for what driver assistance technology should be.

Cadillac continues to electrify the luxury SUV space with compelling offers and notable upgrades to the 2025 Lyriq — making this spring the perfect time to step into the future of luxury driving. Cadillac is inviting drivers to make the switch with a $2,000 Competitive Cash Allowance available toward the purchase or lease of a new Lyriq. This offer is extended to current owners or lessees of select luxury and mainstream competitors, including Audi, BMW, Lexus, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Genesis, and more. Whether you’re coming from a traditional luxury nameplate or a tech-forward EV brand, Cadillac is making the transition even more rewarding. In addition to the conquest cash, exclusive Cadillac of Greenwich lease offers remain available on the all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ. Cadillac has also expanded lease availability for the performance-focused 2026 LYRIQ-V, offering more flexibility for drivers looking to go all-electric with added excitement. The 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ arrives with quiet but impactful changes: Trim Update: The base Tech trim has been discontinued, with Luxury 1 now serving as the new entry point. More Personality: New exterior color options and three accent packages—Blue, Bronze, and Red—let drivers further customize their LYRIQ. Enhanced Comfort: A new front passenger memory seat feature adds a touch of thoughtful luxury. Vibrant Ambience: Ambient lighting now includes 100 new color options. Streamlined Design: The underhood beauty cover has been removed to simplify the vehicle's structure and reduce parts usage. Cadillac has increased the LYRIQ’s horsepower and range for 2025, while reducing the number of parts by 24% compared to the previous model. Though winter efficiency still shows room for improvement despite the inclusion of a heat pump, overall performance gains mark a positive evolution. In a welcome move, launch pricing for the 2025 LYRIQ is lower across the board — ranging from $2,000 to $2,700 less than the 2024 model. For instance, the Luxury 1 RWD trim starts at $59,990, making high-end electric luxury more attainable than ever. A slight $100 increase in destination freight charges brings the total to $1,495, but overall value remains strong.
