Cadillac Lyriq: battery, versions and trims
The Cadillac Lyriq is a luxurious electric SUV introduced in 2022, built on the General Motors Ultium platform. We look at the versions, battery, charging, trims, and what to check when buying a used Lyriq.
Lyriq in brief
The Lyriq is Cadillac's first electric vehicle, designed to compete with the BMW iX, Mercedes EQE SUV, and Audi Q8 e-tron. It features a spacious interior with a curved screen across the dashboard and a distinctive exterior design.
The Lyriq is rare in Lithuania, with some cars imported from the USA. As a result, the equipment, charging port, and documentation may vary, so it's essential to thoroughly check them before purchasing.
Which version to choose
The Lyriq is offered with one or two motors: rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The trims also vary, from comfort-oriented to more sporty variants.
The rear-wheel drive version is sufficient for daily use and long trips, while all-wheel drive is more beneficial in winter or for those who value dynamics.
Engines and transmissions
The Lyriq is an electric vehicle with a single-speed transmission. Power ranges from approximately 340 HP in the rear-wheel drive version to around 500 HP in the all-wheel drive version.
The battery capacity is about 100 kWh, and the range according to WLTP depends on the version and can exceed 450 km. Fast charging power can reach approximately 190 kW.
What to check when buying a used Lyriq
Check the charging port: For a US-imported car, it may differ from the CCS2 used in Europe, so you'll need an adapter or modification. Also, request battery health data.
Verify the software version, screen, and assist systems. Test all equipment: heating, cameras, sound.
Inspect the body and wheels, as the car is heavy. Find out who can service it in Lithuania.
