2024 Cadillac LYRIQ

The three-model LYRIQ range starts with the fittingly titled Tech model, which costs $58,590 (all prices include destination). AWD is a $3,500 option, replacing the standard RWD on all models. Confusingly, both Luxury and Sport can be acquired in three numerical trim variants, each costing roughly $4,000 more than the one before and offering greater equipment. That means the range tops out with the Sport 3 model, costing $74,590 in AWD configuration.

There are two powertrain options on the LYRIQ, with RWD models offering a 340-horsepower single-motor unit that generates 325 lb-ft of torque. The more powerful dual-motor setup generates 500 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque.

Fuel economy for the revised 2024 models had yet to be released at the time of writing, but 2023 models returned an EPA-estimated 97 miles per gallon city, 82 mpg highway, and 89 combined in RWD guise. Cadillac has revised the estimated range downwards slightly this year, now standing at 308 and 307 miles for RWD and AWD models respectively.

Cargo capacity for the five-seater LYRIQ stands at 28 cu ft with the rear seats in place, and 60.3 cu ft once they’re dropped.

Cadillac fit its Smart System to the LYRIQ, bundling in a suite of driver aids including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision alert, and rear parking assistance. There’s also blind zone steering assistance and heated wipers on every LYRIQ, while other features are optional extras on Tech models but fitted as standard higher up the model range. These include adaptive cruise control, enhanced parking assistance, and HD surround vision.

The star attraction in the LYRIQ’s cabin is a 33-inch color LED display that serves as both instrumentation and infotainment hubs. It includes navigation, wireless smartphone integration, and satellite radio, while 5G WiFi hotspot capabilities are built in alongside wireless device charging. A stock seven-speaker stereo system is underwhelming compared to the 19-speaker AKG system fitted to Luxury 2 models and above.

The most affordable LYRIQ still packs eight-way power for the driver’s seat with four-way power lumbar on both heated front seats and a power liftgate. Memory settings govern the driver’s seat, outside mirrors, and telescoping steering column, while dual-zone climate cools the cabin and a fixed glass roof with power sunshade offers extra illumination. Tech models ride on 20-inch self-sealing tires, with other notable design elements including an illuminating front grille and emblem, automatic high beam LED headlamps, and choreographed front-to-back exterior lighting when the key fob moves within six feet of the vehicle.

There are three versions of Luxury, with 1 encompassing a ventilated and lumbar massaging driver’s seat alongside adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control, HD surround vision, and a heated steering wheel.

Luxury 2 adds to this with Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system, a ventilated passenger seat, one-touch rear seat folding, active noise cancellation, and a 19-speaker AKG Studio sound system.

Luxury 3’s external flourishes include 22-inch split-spoke alloy wheels and a hands-free power liftgate, while the cabin benefits from heated outboard rear seats, tri-zone climate, and an alarm system, plus a rear camera mirror.

With only $500 differentiating Luxury and Sport models, changes are limited to chrome and dark accent finishes, a unique illuminated front grille, and body-color door handles. Otherwise, the three model numbers mirror the specifications found on Luxury models.
