Cadillac Lyriq has received approval for sales in Australia, with customer deliveries set to begin in April 2025.
Orders for the electric all-wheel drive SUV opened in October 2024, starting at $117,000 before on-road costs.
The Lyriq is recorded with a power output of 388kW, showcasing a power boost expected for Australian models in 2025.
Additionally, it has a towing capacity of 1588kg.
Cadillac's approach in Australia focuses on exclusivity, aiming to create enduring customer relationships rather than pursuing high sales volumes.
The brand has declined to disclose sales figures but has noted positive interest from customers, with hand-raisers expressing interest in the Lyriq.
Cadillac is set to launch a high-performance Lyriq-V in 2026, following up with the Optiq and Vistiq crossovers next year.
The brand will solely offer electric vehicles in Australia and is unperturbed by the relatively flat growth in overall EV sales.
Cadillac adopts a direct-to-consumer sales model and plans to expand its 'experience centres' and online sales platform across Australia.
Cadillac offers a comprehensive after-sales package named Cadillac Confidence, including warranties, roadside assistance, and free scheduled servicing.
