As expected, Cadillac’s latest and greatest models offer a long list of interesting technologies and features, including several selectable drive modes to customize the driving experience and better suit the conditions at hand. Now, Cadillac is giving a brief rundown on the various drive modes on offer in the following video.
Clocking in at just one minute 16 seconds, the video isn’t exactly in-depth but does provide a quick overview of what the Drive Mode feature is and what it does.
The video features the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq crossover, which is portrayed in a thin-line animation style. However, many of the features outlined are available on Caddy’s ICE-based models as well, as GM Authority covered previously for the Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V.
The video states that users can find the vehicle’s Driver Mode Controls via the central infotainment touchscreen, which should display a Drive Mode icon. Tapping this icon will open up a list of Drive Mode options. Some Cadillac models are equipped with a selector switch, which provides an alternative method of switching between the Drive Modes available.
The exact Drive Modes offered vary between the different Cadillac models and trim levels but typically include Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice, and My Mode. Tour is tailored for everyday driving on clear roads, optimizing driving quality and fuel economy (or energy efficiency, as the case may be). Sport, as one might imagine, is designed for performance and a more engaging driving experience and is tailored specifically for dry roads. Snow/Ice mode adjusts the various onboard systems for low-traction surfaces. Finally, My Mode is a customizable driving mode that lets the user adjust the onboard systems as desired, including the steering response, braking, acceleration, and even the vehicle sound. Also mentioned is V-Mode, which provides the user with yet further propulsion settings.

Never met anyone to use a different drive modes.
I just use the traction control button to rock the car unstuck...
Not as good as an 'ole stick shift because you could synchronize the forward and reverse with the natural moment of the car and, like a pendulum, get it out of a hole faster. Electronic controls in GM cars are too sluggish for such maneuvers.
idk man I got pretty stuck in deep snow in my 2011 Cruze once and was able to rock it out by doing that. in an automatic. I drove the car for nine more years with no issues lol
Gee another great reason to use this large stupid screen. Not. That u know will fail after the warranty is out. I’ll take the iPad size if I have to. Take a few thousand off the price. Yeah right
The explanation of the drive modes is pretty straightforward and lame. It doesn't go far enough in this video. Also, I don't think the new dash screen adds $1000's to the 2025 price. I do welcome the 9 K resolution and hopefully the ability to turn that camera brightness down/ OFF at night when backing out of my long driveway. That may be addressed in this gynormous screen. GM definitely has the German cars beat when it comes to intuitive dash screens.
Turn the brightness down? ? ! ! At dusk, the screen is so dim you can barely read the speed you're going at, even with the hEADLIGHT DIMmer at full brightness.
