GM has confirmed the official range figures for the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition.
The battery-electric luxury crossover has earned an estimated driving range of 312 miles, which applies to the Debut Edition trim level with the 12-module, 100.4 kWh Ultium battery pack. This trim comes with a single-motor Ultium Drive powertrain rated at 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, which sends power to the rear wheels only. It’s not clear if this range estimate will change between vehicles ordered with the standard 20-inch wheels and those equipped with the optional 22-inch wheels.
This estimated driving range exceeds that of GM’s own initial projected range of 300 miles for the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, and puts it in the same ballpark as rival offerings like the BMW iX, which has an EPA-estimate range of 324 miles. It will be interesting to see if the range estimate varies for the upcoming Cadillac Lyriq Performance AWD, which is expected to feature a dual-motor powertrain good for up to 500 horsepower. This Cadillac Lyriq variant is expected to enter production later this year, with deliveries commencing in early 2023, so we should learn more about it in the not-too-distant future.
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition began rolling off the assembly line at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee in March. Pricing for this now sold-out Debut Edition, which is based on the entry-level Luxury trim level, starts at $59,990. Customer deliveries are expected to begin shortly.
GM will eventually be able to produce up to 200,000 examples of the Cadillac Lyriq at the Spring Hill plant annually if required. The automaker said in February that it had initially planned to produce just 3,200 examples of the crossover this year, but had raised that guidance to 25,000 units amid strong demand.

I guess that’d be the range of the one available for reservation May 19th also? Is that one 59990 too? I’ll slap down a reservation fee, only going to come out in ’23 anyway
A 12 mile difference between this, and the BMW iX?
The Lyriq any day, all day.
I am sorry but how is the Lyriq a competitor to the BMW iX…..theyre in different Segments.
The BMW starts at like $93,000
They are direct competitors, price doesn’t denote segment. Lyriq, IX, E-tron, they’re all the same size and segment.
The iX is as big as the X5 and the Lyriq is supposedly XT5 sized.
How is it in the same Segment?
Also if Cadillac considers this an iX competitor what does that say that BMW is selling those at 93K Base and the Cadillac is starting at 59K
Look at the dimensions friend, the IX is like 2 inches taller, but the Lyriq is 2 inches longer. They’re almost identically sized. The comparison chart I saw was on CNET, google BMW IX VS Cadillac Lyriq, it was a chart with those two plus the etron, mach e and model y. Cadillac has been competing with the Germans for years, and have always undercut them in pricing.
Soooooo Cadillac is undercutting the iX by $34,000?
In what World does this make any sense to anyone?
Name me another Segment in which Cadillac undercuts a BMW by $34,000?
I am very intrigued.

When buying a high end German car, you are really paying for a car and a half. Because half the time, you’lol be driving a loaner.
BMWs grill is 10 times larger than the front facade of the Lyriq, they don’t compete.
What features does the iX come with that justifies that price? Maybe BMW has to charge that much to break even on a modified ICE chassis while Cadillac is making money on their dedicated Ultium platform? Maybe BMW built a compliance car and doesn’t want to sell that many so they price it ridiculously high so only the BMW blind will fall for it.
Open up your mind beyond pricing and you’ll realize they are competitors.
Virtually nobody buys RWD luxury crossovers these days especially in Winter or bad climates which makes me wonder if all the people jumping on the bandwagon realise this isn’t AWD. How about pricing and range for the far more popular volume AWD version.
@Joe Yoman
This is the Launch addition meaning it is pretty loaded up. I would say when it goes into volume production the Dual Motor version might not start at much more than the 59K
It seems they are sold out of the debut edition, so I don’t think they had trouble finding homes for them. There are tens of millions of people that live in FL to CA in the south that do not need AWD. Probably 1/2 the market doesn’t need AWD. I don’t have it and don’t need it or want it.
Well that is very true but we are talking about the general illogical public that are brain washed into thinking they need AWD and loads of tech and safety features. I would place a huge bet that the majority of truck, SUV and Crossover sales in general are AWD or 4X4 even in places like California and Florida.
You will see quite a few in CA, not so much in FL. I used to live in SoCal, and if you were a big skier, AWD made some sense. When I lived in NoCal, trips to Tahoe meant either chains (what I did) or AWD. State troopers made sure you had one or the other at the bottom of the ascent up the freeway or you got turned away. The nice thing about AWD was you did not have to get out of the car in a blizzard to put chains on. I was ok with it, but many are not.
Nice but not phantastic. It’s the flagship of GM technology, so one would expect more range.
Give Cadillac the benefit of being first to market and sales for a luxury electric crossover. Most Cadillac owners never drive over 100 miles in a day so 300 miles of range is still the best being the first. All of the Debut Edition models have named owners which makes it a success story for such a new vehicle in the world.
I doubt any other brand in the world can sell all their first year models that quickly.
I wonder when an actual Lyriq will be reviewed by automotive journalists? Given that it’s supposedly been in production for over a month now, it seems odd that all we continue to see are the same “simulated” CGI images and the “design studio” car that doesn’t move. I’m guessing production bugs are being worked out. I’m just tired of waiting for some actual driving impressions.
312 miles or 502 kilometres of range is pretty good 👍🏻 🧐
This is a great looking Cadillac… Finally not sport sedan it’s almost what the CTS wagon would have turned into if it stayed in production! And 312 miles of range covers my whole week of commuting to work sign me up I’ll buy one and drive past gas stations! 🤌🤌
