The price of all versions of the Cadillac LYRIQ is now known
The Cadillac LYRIQ been talked about for more than two years already, but he is still expected in Canada, at least in large numbers. Buyers are nonetheless seeing light at the end of the tunnel, since the automaker has quietly unveiled the prices of all 2024 versions, including the all-wheel-drive versions, over the past few days.
A modest bonus
You should first know that all versions are available with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Adding all-wheel drive doesn’t change battery capacity, but adds an electric motor up front, boosting power from 340 horsepower to 500 horsepower, and torque from 325 lb-ft to 450 lb-ft. Unlike other models, the all-wheel-drive version’s range is about the same as the rear-wheel-drive version, at 494 km versus 495 km according to GM’s tests. The additional premium for getting all-wheel drive is $3,995, a modest outlay.
Also note the transport and preparation costs which are calculated at $2,300. Added to this is a dealer fee of $699, which increases the overall price by $3000 over the retail price. Here is the price of each of the variations, including these transport and preparation costs.
| Version | Propulsion | All-wheel drive |
|---|---|---|
| Tech | $69,798 | $73,793 |
| Luxury 1 | $74,998 | $78,993 |
| Sports 1 | $74,998 | $78,993 |
| Luxury 2 | $79,998 | $83,993 |
| Sports 2 | $79,998 | $83,998 |
| Luxury 3 | $84,298 | $88,293 |
| Sports 3 | $84,298 | $88,293 |
Variations similar to others
Unsurprisingly, the Cadillac LYRIQ uses the nomenclature used for other models of the brand. From the outset, we find the Tech version in a rear-wheel-drive version, which comes with a fixed panoramic roof, among other things.
Then we go to the Luxury and Sport versions, both available with three levels of equipment. We therefore find Luxury 1, Luxury 2 and Luxury 3, which all have an equivalent (Sport 1, Sport 2 and Sport 3) which has a sportier appearance with blacked-out elements, an exclusive grille and body-coloured door handles. Upgrading to the Sport appearance is free of charge compared to a Luxury of the same equipment level.
For $5,200, you can upgrade from the base Tech version to the Luxury 1 or the Sport 1. This price adds, among other things, automatic emergency braking in intersection, auto-leveling headlights, illuminated handles, distinctive headlights and adaptive cruise control.
Level 2 adds some amenities, like active noise control, a 19-speaker AKG audio system, an 8-way power passenger seat, massage seats, Super Cruise, and ventilated seats. This level of equipment also gives access to the panoramic sunroof and the on-board charger with a capacity of 19.2 kilowatts ($1,795), more efficient than the standard 11.5-kilowatt charger. Level 2 requires an additional premium of $5,000.
Eventually, Level 3 goes up $4,300 and comes with 22-inch wheels, hands-free tailgate, rear camera washer, heated rear seats, among other things.
A few option packages are available, to get the Nappa leather seats among others. Only one color (silver metallic) is free of charge, while all others command an additional outlay of at least $900, including two triple-coat paints priced at $1,395 each. The most expensive Cadillac LYRIQ reaches $98,868.
No government discounts
With a base price, excluding freight and preparation, of $66,699, the Cadillac LYRIQ is $1,699 away from being eligible for government rebates offered by the federal and provincial governments. This would have made it possible to lower the price of the vehicle by $12,000, at least for certain versions.
All Cadillac LYRIQs are based on the Ultium architecture, so dear to GM, and they all use a lithium-ion battery with a usable capacity of 102 kilowatt hours. The vehicles should arrive more massively at dealerships by the end of the year.
