2026 Cadillac LYRIQ Price in Australia

The Cadillac LYRIQ is the model that established Cadillac’s modern electric presence in Australia. It is a large five-seat luxury SUV built in right-hand drive at General Motors’ Spring Hill facility in Tennessee and offered locally in Luxury and Sport forms. Both variants use the same core dual-motor all-wheel-drive system and battery, so the choice is primarily about design character: Luxury uses brighter chrome detailing and a more traditional premium appearance, while Sport adds darker exterior accents and a more assertive visual theme.

Underneath those styling differences, Australian LYRIQ models share substantial EV hardware. The dual-motor system produces 388 kW and 610 Nm, and the 102 kWh battery uses lithium-ion NCMA chemistry. Cadillac lists a combined electric driving range of 530 km and an urban-cycle figure of 690 km, with combined energy consumption of 22.5 kWh/100 km. Those figures give the LYRIQ the range needed for everyday commuting and longer Australian journeys, although real-world results will vary with speed, weather, temperature, vehicle load and driving style.

Charging flexibility is a strong point. The LYRIQ supports DC fast charging at up to 190 kW, with Cadillac quoting roughly 128 to 131 km of added range in around 10 minutes under suitable conditions. AC charging can operate at 7.4 kW or up to 22.1 kW with appropriate equipment, with the higher rate capable of adding around 94 km of range per hour. For owners who can install suitable three-phase charging at home or regularly use compatible destination chargers, that high AC capability can be particularly useful.

The cabin is deliberately different from a conventional luxury SUV. A curved 33-inch advanced LED display combines instrumentation and infotainment in a single sweeping panel and is capable of very high resolution. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging and a 19-speaker AKG audio system are standard Australian highlights. The front seats provide extensive electric adjustment and comfort functions, while the panoramic power sliding sunroof, tri-zone climate control and premium materials create a spacious and quiet environment for long trips.

Practicality is also better than the coupe-like profile may suggest. Official Australian specifications list 793 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats and 1,722 litres with the rear seatbacks folded. There is no front luggage compartment, so all primary cargo storage is at the rear. The five-seat layout offers generous passenger room, and the low-mounted battery contributes to a near-even weight distribution that supports the LYRIQ’s composed road manners.

The chassis uses five-link independent suspension front and rear with Passive-Plus Premium Dampers, continuously variable electric power steering and Brembo performance front brakes. Safety and driver-assistance equipment includes automatic emergency braking functions, adaptive cruise control, blind-zone assistance, rear pedestrian alert, surround-view cameras, enhanced automatic parking assistance and a broad airbag suite. Cadillac also backs Australian LYRIQ models with its Cadillac Confidence ownership program, including a five-year unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty for private use and an eight-year/160,000 km EV propulsion battery warranty, subject to the published terms.

Exterior colours officially listed for Australia include Crystal White Tricoat, Stellar Black Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, Argent Silver Metallic, Emerald Lake Metallic and Celestial Metallic, although the latter two are associated with the Luxury theme and some finishes are extra-cost. For buyers comparing premium electric SUVs in Australia, the LYRIQ stands out through its distinctive design, strong standard performance, long range, large boot and high AC charging capability. Its size and weight are significant, and buyers seeking three rows will need to move to the VISTIQ, but as a five-seat luxury EV the LYRIQ remains the balanced centre of Cadillac’s Australian range.
