Cadillac has been working hard to simplify the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq lineup, such as decreasing the number of parts it uses and eliminating the base Tech trim. The luxury marque’s efforts are working to keep it as affordable as possible, as Cadillac Society has uncovered pricing for the 2025 Lyriq, revealing that it’s less expensive than its 2024 model-year counterpart.
With the Tech trim gone thanks to the introduction of the smaller and more affordable Optiq, the entry level model in the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq lineup becomes the Luxury 1 in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) guise, which starts at $59,990. Opting for all-wheel-drive bumps the Luxury 1 price to $63,490. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the most expensive trim remains Sport 3, which now starts at $68,890 in RWD and $72,390 in AWD.
See the table below for 2025 Cadillac Lyriq starting MSRPs. Note that all prices include the $1,395 destination freight charge:
| Trim Level | Drivetrain | 2025 MSRP + DFC |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury 1 | RWD | $59,990 |
| Luxury 1 | AWD | $63,490 |
| Sport 1 | RWD | $61,090 |
| Sport 1 | AWD | $64,590 |
| Luxury 2 | RWD | $64,990 |
| Luxury 2 | AWD | $68,490 |
| Sport 2 | RWD | $65,490 |
| Sport 2 | AWD | $68,990 |
| Luxury 3 | RWD | $68,390 |
| Luxury 3 | AWD | $71,890 |
| Sport 3 | RWD | $68,890 |
| Sport 3 | AWD | $72,390 |
For comparison, the 2024 Lyriq Tech started at $58,590, and was fitted with significantly fewer features and technologies than its Luxury 1 and Sport 1 counterparts. However, any gap left behind by the Lyriq Tech’s exit can be filled with the 2025 Cadillac Optiq, which is positioned below the Lyriq in the lineup. The base Optiq Luxury starts at $54,390 with standard AWD.
As previously mentioned, the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq is less expensive than the 2024 model. Specifically, the prices have been altered as follows:
As a reminder, the Lyriq RWD delivers a maximum driving range of 314 miles from a single charge, along with 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The AWD setup results in 500 total system horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque for a max 307 miles of driving range per charge. The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq lineup is also expected to include the high-performance Cadillac Lyriq-V, as previously covered by Cadillac Society. When it does launch, this model will be the most powerful Lyriq to date.
The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq rides on the luxury marque’s BEV3 platform. Production is handled at the Cadillac Spring Hill plant in Tennessee for North American markets.
