Cadillac Lyriq 2025 lowers prices and basic equipment

The Cadillac Lyriq (model year 2025) is dropping the previous tech base equipment, but lower prices for the remaining trim levels will help offset the move.

The Lyriq Tech started at $58,590 for the 2024 model year, but did not have many of the standard features of the Luxury 1 grade, which is now the base model for 2025. Thanks to a $2,700 price cut, the Luxury 1 costs $59,990 including the mandatory $1,395 delivery charge. The Sport 1 trim is just above that, costing $61,090 ($2,100 less than the 2024 model year).

Cadillac has also cut prices on the Luxury 2 and Sport 2 trim levels by $2,000, so they now start at $64,990 and $65,490, respectively. The top Luxury 3 and Sport 3 trim levels are $2,220 cheaper, at $68,390 for the Luxury 3 and $68,890 for the Sport 3.

A single engine with rear-wheel drive Power: 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque remain standard. A dual-motor all-wheel drive system that increases power to 500 hp and 450 lb-ft costs an additional $3,500. All Lyriq models use a 102 kWh battery pack; EPA range of 314 miles for single-engine models and 307 miles for dual-engine models are expected to remain unchanged.

The only notable trim changes for 2025 are standard OnStar telematics features and memory for the front passenger, a standard Technology Package on Luxury 2 and Sport 2 trim levels that includes a hands-free liftgate and rearview mirror with camera, and more color choices for the interior ambient lighting system.

The Lyriq debuted in the 2023 model year as the first Cadillac EV based on General Motors’ Ultium architectureCadillac continues to add electric vehicles, including the entry-level Optiq and three-row Vistiq, but GM is reportedly rethinking plans to make the luxury brand fully electric by 2030.
