GM began accepting pre-orders for the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq today, however available reservation slots quickly started filling up, with the entire 2023 production run for the battery-electric luxury crossover now sold out.
GM began accepting pre-orders for both the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq in the Luxury RWD and Luxury AWD trim levels today, charging customers a $100 fully-refundable fee to reserve their spot in line. The automaker is still accepting pre-orders for the Lyriq, however with the 2023 model year now sold out, customers who sign up will likely receive a 2024 model year Lyriq at a later date. These customers may be moved forward in the line if some reservation holders back out, as well.
As we reported previously, the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury RWD and Luxury AWD are available in a total of four exterior colors, including Opulent Blue Metallic, Crystal White Tricoat, Satin Steel Metallic and Stellar Black Metallic. All 2023 Cadillac Lyriq buyers will also receive two years of complimentary charging at EVgo charging stalls, or a $1,500 credit toward the installation of an at-home Level 2 charger with Qmerit.
Pricing for the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury RWD trim starts at $62,900, while pricing the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury AWD trim will start at $64,900. Both of these figures include the destination freight charge (DFC). GM says deliveries of the Lyriq Luxury RWD will begin this fall, while Lyriq Luxury AWD deliveries will commence in early 2023.
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edtion, which sold out in minutes after GM began accepting pre-orders last year, began rolling off the line at GM’s Spring Hill plant in Tennessee in late March, with initial deliveries of this version of the battery-electric luxury crossover set to begin this summer. The Debut Edition shares the same electric powertrain with the Luxury RWD, which consists of a single Ultium Drive unit rated at 340 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque, along with a 12-module, 100.4 kWh Ultium battery pack providing an EPA-estimated 312 miles of driving range on a full charge.
While GM has yet to confirm the U.S. specs for the Lyriq Luxury AWD, a press release issued by the automaker’s Chinese arm may provide us with an indication of its torque output. According to Cadillac China, the Lyriq Luxury AWD will produce 524 pound-feet of torque from its dual-motor powertrain. It will also have an estimated driving range of 287 miles based on the Chinese Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle.
All 2023 Cadillac Lyriq models destined for the U.S. and Canada are produced at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. The crossover rides on the GM BEV3 platform, which was engineered specifically for EVs.
Customers who want to put their name in the hat to reserve a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq, or a 2023 Lyriq if they are lucky, can sign up at this link.

… it is unbelivible people are buying such car, there are really many stupids in this globe with money & bad taste
Why is it unbelievable and what is many stupids?
… because thought humans would were intelligent to evolute like Darwin said, from monkeys to humans, but daily see more and more the attitude humans are maybe now worse than monkey attitudes… the evolution is a pity going in wrong way
Is your decidedly incoherent comment also serving as your own evidence?
… yeah, of course, when we born naked, do not get billionaires in such 50 years and die naked, yes
MK; NO offense – but if you think DARWIN was exceptionally smart – maybe you should research what DARWIN thought should be done with his so-called ‘inferior races’.
Since he – at the time – admitted that the obvious formation of the EYE was a big conundrum for him and couldn’t begin to be explained by his ‘Theory of Evolution’ – makes me ignore his also very unfair view of the various races of the entire Human Race.
I got my actual work order in yesterday under the gun – since I knew it opened up at 11:00 a.m. and I was discussing this with the dealership Sales Manager at 11:05. Since 2 had already done this on-line – I was the 3rd Lyriq Ordered that day, and have just gotten a confirmation E-mail that I am “IN”.
I consider the car an EXCELLENT value – and of course my Nephew is going to use my older ‘fast charging’ car to make 2023 a ‘drive vacation year’ – and intends to fully utilize the complementary 24 month EVGO UNLIMITED USAGE charging card to provide long-distance – totally free of cost fueling – since the EVGO card is PER SUBSCRIBER, and has nothing to do with the car being charged. Seems like a great plan to me – since he will be paying $0.00 per tankful of fuel when MK and other big cheeses will be paying $6 to $10 a gallon – if they are fortunate enough to find that economically priced gasoline.
Since I live in a “WOKE” state, there will be a FEW hiccups with the charging – but all, in all, its a great gamble.
… Darwin was Drunk with his Theories …
Such a car? You mean a segment leading vehicle? A car easily helping launch Cadillac into the future? Significant reliability increases, incredible technology? I fail to see where you are finding the drive to ownership of the Lyriq a “stupid thing.”
what is incredible technology ? see still having 4 tyres, not flying yet like a hummingbird
we are in year 2022, since egypt humans are 5000 years here in called civilizations and we still see lot of primitive behaviours and things
StarWars Machines references are since then already 40 years and we are not flying like them
How do you know it’s reliable?
GM has never been reliable.
Alex, EVs are inherently significantly more reliable than their gas counterparts. GM EVs also have a pretty rock solid record. The Volt / Bolt (sans LG battery issue) are ridiculously reliable. I would expect nothing less from the Ultium platform. To say GM has never been reliable is incorrect. My friends even bought Volts and Bolts after seeing our successes with them and remain happy and service free to this day.
alex stated: “GM has never been reliable.”.
With the plug-in models since late 2010 they certainly have…. The early Volts and ELR’s were horribly complicated, but I or any other owner I knew EVER had ANY problem with the powertrain…. The Generation 2 volts (model years 2016,17,18, and 2019) were A MARVEL of efficiency – both in electric mode and gasoline mode… It was a HORRIBLE decision to cancel the VOLT program but I did manage to get a 2019 which I like very much.
The BOLT and BOLT EUV have an extremely conservative Helical 2-stage reduction gears. Even under hard acceleration from the 200 hp motor, I NEVER hear the slight strain, nor even any sound at all, from these babied reduction gears…. A differential geared FWD completes the power train. No problems with the electric power steering nor electric power brakes. It is rather like the power assist units are so inobtrusive that it is as if they are not there at all. They just work.
Traded in my 58,000 mile 2017 BOLT EV for a 2022 BOLT EUV last June…. Identical powertrain in a slightly larger vehicle and that is just dandy with me… Same super-great reliability.
Just traded in 3 days ago my 2014 ELR for a downpayment on a new 2wd Caddy Lyriq. I’m very happy with all the GM plug-ins I have owned to date and have no reason to expect any future troubles.
People are making bets that they can resell the slot or flip the car for a higher price . Used Tesla can be sold for more then new because you can get it asap
Hey MK…looks like you are definitely in a very slim minority who thinks so.
… yeah … indeed… as ever people said … I am ‘different’… know do not fit in ‘Society’, but am happy
It will be interesting of what percentage will change their mind and want their deposit back. And I wonder how many was set aside for this year and next year for ’23 in order for the order sheet to be filled up. Remember the volume can be flexible up to 200K of any vehicle or combination of XT5/6 & LYRIQ combined.
I think it should do well for several reasons. 1. It is an attractive package. 2. It satisfies the group that despises musk like me. 3. It is caddy’s only EV at the moment. 4. It has a competitive price point. 5. Range is good, almost great for an EV. 6. Performance is good, not great.
It probably has little to do with the production capacity of Springhill. GM will only have so many battery cells coming from the Lordstown Ultium plant that have to be split between the Hummer SUT/SUV, Silverado, Blazer, Brightdrop and Equinox EV’s next year. The Springhill battery plant will help but it’s not going to be complete until next fall.
GM had told suppliers they expect to build 25k Lyriq in 2022.
And Santa Claus will be at GM Purchasing handing out turkeys for the holidays too for those suppliers that are ready to build that volume.
GM can tell chip suppliers they want 25K chips in 2022, but if chip suppliers can only provide 15K chips, that’s all GM’s going to get, and GM will only make 15K Lyriqs.
I’m thinking the chip suppliers are making chips as fast as they can, but with global supply chain issues, chip suppliers can only guess how many chips they’ll be able to supply in 2022, leaving GM to guess how many Lyriqs they can make in 2022.
There’s a lot of uncertainty in the chip sector, much to the distress of car manufacturers, not only GM.
Still, despite the uncertainty, GM could have handled this situation in a more forthright manner, and with greater transparency. GM appears to be trying to game the situation, playing suppliers off against GM against dealers against customers.
GM/Cadillac needs to treat customers better. Period.
I received the link yesterday May 18th at 1:00 PM but the app rejected my Zip Code because it did not recognize any Cadillac dealers in Puerto Rico. So I will wait until it does or buy it through a Cadillac dealer in Florida .
What did you expect? Puerto Rico is a crappy country it’s unfortunate the hurricane didn’t wipe you guys off the map.
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. Like Guam or Washington D.C.
Many people around the world view the u.s. as a crappy country.
Not my words, just an observation.
Alex
Show me a country that hates the U.S, and I’ll show you a group of Immigrants from that country. Living happily in the U.S.
If form nyc and interact with people who immigrate from all over the world . Many are friends .
Some people hate the USA an immigrate here because we bend over and give generous free stuff (more then to our own citizens)
Look no further then “the squad” members of congress . They immigrated here and hate the USA
And some people appreciate the USA .
puerto Rico is a us territory that is forced to buy food , meat etc through the USA at high prices then it could if it bought from its close neighbors such as the Dominican Republic .
With the leftist activists forcing most army and Air Force bases to close and nafta loosing its low wage still USA manufacturing advantage , it economy was destroyed .
Many nice people on the island . Many were forced to leave due to no jobs
Hey Pete…fraid you are displaying the ultimate in ignorance when you call Puerto Rico a country. Back to the grade 7 books to catch up on your geography.
Dear Peter, You are a disgrace to the human race. Your comment is absolutely disgusting!
Two manufacturers have my attention when it comes to electric vehicles with semi autonomous driving, Tesla and GM.
I have had a Model X since 2016 but not until this year did our family decide a second electric vehicle would be ideal.
Many of the qualities that I love about the Tesla I believe can be replicated by other electric manufacturers (performance, fast charging especially if/when Tesla allows non-Tesla vehicles to charge on their network, fun driving), while the Achilles heel of Tesla is their maintenance network. Quality of maintenance experience has gradually gotten worse as Tesla corporate scales up in size. Their “dealer” support network is not scaling up to keep up with demand and it has left a mixed feeling with our family.
On the other hand I had no interest in a Bolt, Hummer, or Silverado, but this Lyriq size is the Goldilocks size. Range is between Audi/Jaguar and Tesla BUT if the maintenance experience is better than Tesla then I believe it will be a better overall experience for us. Looking forward to testing out the Super Cruise network and seeing how a traditional manufacturer has done in “quickly” pivoting.
Maintenance? You can’t change your own wiper blades every two years?
Despite how things are presented in public, I can assure you that things go wrong with every car. Sure, there aren’t oil changes and the routine things one might think about BUT as a big fan and current owner of a Model X I can assure you things have gone wrong that require fixing.
These are items that are covered under warranty but Tesla only gives Uber credits ($100 per day) to cover transportation while the vehicle is being fixed. It sometimes takes a long time for the repair and even just to schedule the repair and in the meantime, with a family of five, it isn’t convenient using an Uber (not too mention in our specific case $100 in Uber doesn’t cover the miles needed). So we end up renting a car which is out of pocket expense not often talked about. I realize I represent a specific anecdote but it’s something that with my other cars could be accommodated by a dealer who usually has a loaner. Tesla used to have plenty of loaners but ever since the release of the Model 3, they no longer have reliable loaners for customers. With their current ramp up in Model Y, perhaps they will eventually have more loaners again but for this period of time it isn’t convenient.
I will also concede that if GM continues on this path to limited releases, then the existing network of dealers will have to begin downsizing and merging. It’s just basic economics which means perhaps customer service will also begin to suffer from major manufacturers.
In the end Tesla and GM are here to stay as they both navigate the complex issues out there. They are coming from two very different places but I suspect they will end up in the same place. Obviously Tesla won’t ever have ICE vehicles but we all know ICE vehicles will become more and more niche.
Thanks for the opportunity to further explain my situation.
I owned a Tesla early on…. Most unreliable car I have ever owned and I was so glad when I traded it in on a 2014 Caddy ELR… Tesla’s powertrains are okay, but everything ELSE with the car constantly failed… The last year I owned it , it was in the shop about 1/2 the whole time. Couldn’t wait to get rid of it… Nice car when it ran though.
I ordered my AWD on the 18th, crossing fingers I get it.
I thought orders opened up on the 19th???
I got invited to order it 1 day prior to it opening up to the public.
Invited how… I got no invitation.
Via email.
Same here. It went out to persons that registered for the original Debut Edition reservation that sold out in 10 minutes but didn’t get a vehicle. I literally lost out by about 60 seconds, but I’m glad I did because now I have a pre-order for the AWD Opulent blue version instead.
Got an email, that it would open early, then got a text on the 18th with the link. Got a call from the dealer on the 19th and a confirmation email soon thereafter.
Did you receive an order confirmation email?
Yes I did receive the confirmation email here is a snippet of that email.
This is a confirmation of your pre-order. The dealer you selected during the pre-order process will be in touch with you to finalize your vehicle configuration and pricing.
I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine spending that kind of money for an EV with only a 300 mile range. Its a beautiful car, but until GM can develop a EV with at least a 400 mile range I’ll stick with gasoline power.
And when they make a 400 mile range, you’ll say thew same thing for 500 mile range. It’s already enough, with fast enough charging, and the networks are in place for great trips. It’s time to pay attention and unbury your head from the sand.
California and some East Coat states have sufficient electric charging stations, however, the balance of North America are woefully short. The other interesting issue is what will happen when the annual brown-outs occur? I think we are a ways away from nirvana a with EV.
Pre-orders for the 2023 Lyriq are sold out, but the important data point is how many pre-orders did they accept before they filled up? That is that big question.
Nothing specific from GM but the number seems to be around 22,000 based on most reports. GM did tell parts suppliers to plan on 25,000 in the 2023 model year so that tracks.
Of course, they have to be able to get the parts…
Sadly, GM Authority is more and more being overtaken by trolls who crowd out sensible and thoughtful comments.
Hopefully, this won’t become that other waste of electricity GM site of gloomers.
Looking forward to viewing the Lyriq first-hand.
How many 2023’s sold equals sold out? Good luck finding that answer.
