The Cadillac Society Take
Cadillac Lyriq sales had their best quarterly result in the second quarter of 2024. That was only overshadowed (yet again) by the Model Y. We can’t help but wonder how many Lyriqs would be sold if more were made and, as a result, available to purchase.
However, it’s worth noting that the Acura ZDX electric crossover is now on sale. The ZDX shares the Lyriq’s platform, is underpinned by Ultium technology, and is built by Cadillac parent, General Motors. Of the two, the Lyriq is the more affordable option, starting at $58,590 for the 2024 Lyriq Tech in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) guise, compared to the ZDX A-spec RWD’s starting price of $65,850.
Other new competitors are poised to enter the competitive space. This includes the Jeep Wagoneer S, which was unveiled last year as a rival to the Lyriq with 600 horsepower on tap. This model is expected to launch for the 2025 model year, and offers more power than the all-wheel-drive (AWD) Lyriq. However, the Cadillac Lyriq-V, which is also expected to debut for 2025 as reported by Cadillac Society, could be a solid answer to the inbound Wagoneer S.
Other new rivals include the Polestar 3 and Volvo EX90. It’s also worth noting that the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 is a direct rival to the Lyriq. However, sales of this electric crossover are not separated from its internal combustion engine (ICE) based counterparts, so we are unable to include this model in our sales report this quarter.

I drove a Lyriq and was very impressed. I also think it’s a beautiful car/SUV/CUV, but it’s ELECTRIC. I bought a 2024 XT6 Luxury Premium, Platinum instead and I couldn’t be more pleased. The XT6 is comfortable, it rides great, looks great and has more than 500 miles of range on highway trips.

Everyone always says this same fact so I might as well chime in also.
The Model “Y”, although lately a better value – is *NOT* a LUXURY VEHICLE.
Either the Lyriq or the XT6 mentioned above are the better vehicles.
When you buy a Tesla you have to be prepared that you really might have got a Lemon. Sure, they are making incremental improvements but as far as I’m concerned its still a crap shoot, and there is plenty about driving a Model 3 or Y that I don’t like.
