Cadillac today announced new details in the brand’s transformation to an electric future and a transformative EV customer experience, including ordering information and estimated range for the 2023 LYRIQ RWD.

“These are important steps for Cadillac, as we make good on our promise to deliver an EV with more than 480 kilometers of range and move to an electric portfolio by 2030,” said Rory Harvey, vice president, Global Cadillac. “Cadillac will define the future of luxury transportation through its range of forthcoming EVs, and it all begins with LYRIQ.”

Ordering for the 2023 LYRIQ RWD and AWD models will open on May 19, with RWD deliveries expected starting this fall.

The LYRIQ RWD model offers a GM estimated 502 kilometers of range on a full charge1 and has a starting MSRP of $69,8982. The AWD model, adds a second drive unit, placed at the front of the vehicle, enhancing vehicle dynamics and performance even further for drivers. When orders open, customers will now have the option to select from two new exterior colours: Opulent Blue Metallic3 and Crystal White Tricoat3.

Availability of the AWD model is expected in early 2023, with GM estimated range and pricing expected closer to the start of production.

LYRIQ Drives the Future

The all-new LYRIQ elevates an iconic brand, building on a century of Cadillac’s design and technology innovations to usher in a new era in electric luxury vehicles.

It is designed with premier technologies and stirring performance capabilities, enabled by the vehicle’s dedicated electric architecture. A 12-module, 100 kilowatt-hour battery pack delivers a Cadillac-estimated 340 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque in the RWD model, while the AWD amps up the output, with the addition of a second drive unit that raises capability with an estimated 500 horsepower.

The AWD model is further distinguished with performance-oriented driving dynamics with power flowing through all four wheels, along with a 3,500-pound trailering capacity.4.

The LYRIQ RWD model offers a GM estimated range of 502 kilometers with a full charge1. That range is optimized with the Ultium Platform’s energy recovery system, which can capture and repurpose waste energy from the battery. In addition to optimizing range, the system can also help reduce battery energy needed for heating, increase charging speed and even contribute to the vehicle’s performance driving dynamics. 

When it comes to charging, LYRIQ offers at-home Level 2 (AC) charge rates of up to 19.2 kW, which can add up to 83 kilometers of range per hour of charge5. It also features DC fast charging rates of up to 190 kW, enabling an estimated 122 kilometers of range in about 10 minutes6 of charging time.
