Step inside the cabin to discover some of the most advanced in-vehicle technology to ever debut in a production vehicle. Highlights include a breathtaking 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display screen, home to a virtually endless array of customization options. Equipped with the revolutionary Cadillac Super Cruise semi-autonomous cruise control system, the groundbreaking LYRIQ represents the start of an entirely new chapter in the storied history of the Cadillac brand.

What the Critics Say

“Style may be subjective, but I think the Lyriq is one of the best-looking SUVs on the road today, and plenty of passersby seemed to agree. I received more comments and thumbs up in traffic than I have in any other vehicle I’ve driven. The Lyriq’s big 102-kWh battery charges at a brisk pace and doles out over 300 miles of range once topped up, which alleviated my range anxiety in day-to-day driving.” – U.S. News & World Report

“The Lyriq’s appeal begins with an almost suspiciously strong mix of range, charging, power and pricing figures. But after driving it a couple weeks you realize the numbers are just half the story. The Lyriq is smooth and responsive around town, comfortable and controlled on the highway, and has a stylish, roomy, feature-filled interior. Oh, and it can all but drive itself with the excellent Super Cruise system.” – Kelley Blue Book

What’s New for 2025

For its third year of production, the electrified Cadillac LYRIQ gains a number of key improvements and changes for the 2025 model year. Buyers will notice an increase to the driving range along with faster charge times over last year’s model, now boasting up to 326 miles of maximum range on RWD models. The previous base-level Tech trim has been discontinued and most of its key features have been added to the standard equipment list for the Luxury and Sport trims. Examples include a digital rearview mirror and a hands-free power liftgate. Illuminated door sills are now standard on Luxury models as well. Every trim level also gains extra ambient interior lighting color choices, redesigned pedals, and a memory function for the front passenger seat. Finally, 2025 brings new alloy wheel designs along with new interior and exterior color options for the Cadillac LYRIQ.
