The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq arrives as second model year for the all-electric luxury crossover, once again offering comfort, technology, and style, all with zero local emissions. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq will begin.
According to GM Authority sources, the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq is set to get underway on March 20th, 2023. Production will once again take place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. The final day of production for the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is scheduled for March 17th, 2023.
Notably, the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq introduces a new trim level dubbed Tech, which is tagged with the 1SA equipment group and slots in below the Luxury trim level and Sport trim level as the new base-level trim of the lineup. Pricing for the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Tech starts at $58,590, including DFC.
Production of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq first got underway in March of the 2022 calendar year following a $2 billion renovation at the facility. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is the first-ever fully electric production model to wear the Cadillac crest.
As GM Authority covered previously, Cadillac Lyriq deliveries are now ramping up significantly following the release of a quality hold on built units. A total of 8,195 units of the Cadillac Lyriq were produced last year, with a monthly production high of 2,477 units in November.
However only 122 units were delivered last year as GM intentionally implemented a slow rollout to fix certain teething issues for the all-new EV. Among these was a fix for the vehicle’s software management update, a fix for cracking liftgate panel, and a recall for display issues. Additionally, vehicles typically take between 30 and 100 days to reach a dealer, and given the majority of Cadillac Lyriq units were produced since last September or later, many are still in the process.
As a reminder, the Cadillac Lyriq is based on the GM BEV3 platform, with GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium drive motors on board for motivation.

Yeah, I put $100 down on one of these last year too; still waiting on the ’23
Same, dealer wanted me to place a new order which is expensive with all features that were mentioned earlier.
What’s the point in making a reservation?
I put my $100 down last year for a 2023, too. A couple of weeks ago the dealer we’re working with called and told me to “go to the Cadillac site and select the options you want”, then send a link to him. Went to the Cadillac/Lyriq site (that happened to be marked for 2024). Called the dealer back. He said he did not have any more information and was repeating what Cadillac/GM advised him to do. I kept the same silver/metallic color as originally ordered, picked L1 and added an opening sunroof (which I prefer – same as what is on the SRX we currently have) and it looks like no front door “wings” (according to the posted pics). My take is this has now turned into a 2024, but no update, so far, from Cadillac or the dealer.
What a joke. And by the way, cars don’t take 30 to 100 days to reach a dealer. More like one to two weeks. I have a reservation on a 2024 but I wouldn’t make a bet I would ever get it in this calendar year. I think I’m gonna just ask for my hundred dollars back and move on to something else. Probably better to buy a Kia telluride. Way cheaper and less problems.
Buying a Korean product. Increase the Federal deficit, National debt, and increase the current account deficit. Why not move to Korea?
No mention if any of the Lyriqs are all wheel drive.
Only thing for sure is 2023’s will be BLACK only.
I’ve had a reservation for a 2023 Lyriq since last May. What is particularly frustrating is that there is zero communication from Cadillac. It would seem that when one is in Cadillac’s system with a reservation that they would make an attempt for one to feel better about the waiting. Cadillac runs TV ads about the Lyriq, But, the the Lyriq is not available? So, if my 2023 showed up next week, in another month or so it will be a model year old when the 2024s enter production. Monthly I’ve inquired of the dealer the status. The dealers seem to know nothing and seem frustrated that customers keep asking them about status. I’ve purchased multiple new Cadillacs over the years, but don’t feel special at all regarding my “reservation” of a Lyriq. It is very bad PR and customer relations on the part of Cadillac.
Same boat here in Las Vegas. Put $5000 down on the AWD in May 2022, keep hearing buzz from outside sources. Stopped by to find out it is not going to happen. Dealership never sent email, and seemed upset that I would be angry not getting an update prior to me showing up for delivery date. Said I was lucky cause the 2024’s would offer greater options, which ultimately means more $$. And then no guarantee when that happens. The biggest part that frustrates me is the TOTAL lack of communication. NOTHING from Cadillac or Dealership.
We have owned Cadillacs for years and will stick with them, however I agree with most of your comments. However, we are receiving a $5,000.00 credit towards a 2024 and $1,500.00 toward in home charging station.
Perhaps the batteries arrived at a slower rate than anticipated. Maybe it has something to do with LG Chem and GM’s spat over the fourth battery plant.
GM NEEDS TO LEAVE CHINA & RETURN JOBS TO NON-COMMUNIST COUNTIES
TANIA: Is Tennessee in China?
Surely you are aware of the Lyriq plant in China ?
For the China market.
Responder had a good point about 2023 models. We are buying a model that is now a year old thanks to GMs delays, production holds and cars sitting in lots…weathering! I’m not even sure the 2023 prices were better than the 2024 model year. The fact that the 2023 model year ends and 2024 model year production begins within 3 days afterwards is also unusual. I’m not sure I want the 2023 model if the 2024 is built within a few days of it and may even cost less. This is a major screwup by GM.
The $5,000 is from the US government not a discount from GM.

Last Caddy I’ll buy …. Too much of a hassle and too many broken promises.
And yet, here you are buying a Caddy.
Ok Cliff:
Hey Chief: Name me one other vehicle I can buy NOW that has 312 mile range and is a mid-size or better CUV ev AND has decent reliability.. Sorry, but I want a PHEV or BEV -either must have a decently sized battery.
A Tesla X might get the miles but the reliability is horrible and so is the asking price.
In early January this year I was planning to reserve a 2024 but went back and noticed they took the reservation platform down. With March 20th being the production start date, when could those without reservations anticipate being able to buy a 2024 model off the lot?
My Dealer had a viewing in Late Nov. The Lyriq was there for the day with GM contract staff to answer all questions.
I was impressed with the vehicle in all ways. It was Dk Grey and the Under dash pull out tray/drawer was not complete just a cover, as mentioned in wright ups. They told me it would be done by time production starts and AWD that I do want would be available at about 3 to 4K.
The Door Pulls we’re weird to me and I did not like them. I was told the 2024 models would have normal flush handles.
The did not know if they pop out like Tesla or push in or you manually push & they pop out.
I’m told I will be called in to go over options although to my knowledge the only option is larger wheels that I do not want and of course F&I want to sell me other options like Protection packages, tire & glass warranties, etc.
Bottom line, I loved the vehicle and the only deal breaker for me at this time is the length. I drive a Equinox now and the Lyriq is about 13″ longer which may not fit in my garage, and I really do not want to move my work bench.
If that is the case I will look into the 24 Equinox EV which should be out about the same time and at IMO 15 to 20k cheaper.
I would hope the Equinox would be cheaper than that compared to the Lyriq. AWD is almost a requirement for a 5500 lb in the NE. Rear wheel will leave you stranded in a snow storm. I too ordered the smaller wheels but think I will change to the 22 inch wheels. Im hoping the door handles are revised by the time my produciton date arrives. If it enters production without first contacting me I will be very ticked. I also think the Equinox EV production will be pushed out to the end of the year at the earliest. There should be legal guidelines about annoucing vehicles to the public when they are not even available or in production. The public is tired of hiring about “production rumors”…like the Tesla Cyber truck that never came to be.
I’m told by the Dealer and 2 Professional Drivers that the 22″ wheels are noisier and I’m sticking with the 20″
As for the Equinox. I follow it closely and spoke to the Dealer recently. They have no info at all on the vehicle.
I expect the 2024 Equinox to be under 50k with AWD and the same GM Ultimum battery.
Had one of the first 2023 reservations for AWD. First screw up was when I went to dealer to finalize order, they said…5000 market adjustment, take it or leave it. First of all, market adjustment for what?? A non-existent vehicle?? Why the mark up? I’m buying the car as soon as it shows up, the dealer doesn’t have to store it or market it etc etc. Then add injury to insult, the car is nowhere to be seen and GM hasn’t even accepted the order officially and now they are talking about building the 2024’s?? This could have been my first GM vehicle but I just went and got a Tesla Model Y instead. What a joke.
I too ordered in May. The dealer and GM informed me the AWD would not be available until calendar year 2024. For that reason I chose the RWD. I ordered the blue one. I was told the msrp was about $62k which included all options, upgraded sound, super cruise etc. That price is less than the 2024 prices of similarly equipped Lyriqs. Now not sure if I will receive a 2023 or 2024. Dealer did call me in December to say the car had been delayed. This site has reported that 8,000 were built last year. I don’t believe that is correct. Some transparency from GM would be appreciated. Today GM admitted it can’t ramp up production until mid year because of lack of batteries. My dealer is honest and is not marking up the price. If it did I would walk and never look back.
I will continue to wait. I don’t want an ugly Y (sorry Bin) with its cheap looking interior. If I switched I would look at an Audi or BMW, but they are both more expensive and probably wouldn’t arrive any sooner.
Ok, you will get a black one since I also ordered
Blue one on a hard, confirmed order,but now they’re supplying a black one if I don’t want to wait for 2024.
As far as options the 2024 they’ll charge around $1,000 extra for an 80 amp charger included with the 2023s. 2024, which normally get 48 amp chargers.
Correction: Since the ‘Build Configurator’ came out for the Caddy Lyriq it is much easier to gauge product and options..
1). 80 amp charger is optional on absolutely all trims (except not available for the TECH TRIM), for the 2024 and will be $1,480 extra. Went from being on absolutely every one to absolutely none standard…. I doubt there will be many takers since it is of no benefit to most people.
2). A 2023 LUXURY trim which has all the bells and whistles standard is about equivalent to a 2024 LUXURY 3, with additional options, and is about $5,300 cheaper than a 2024, even though the stripped TECH trim is cheaper.
3). It is past mid February, 2024 and they are STILL stuck in building DEBUT models from September, 2021. Supposedly the word ON HIGH is that 2023 Production will stop 3/17 and the 2024s will be the only thing built after 3/19/23.
In that case ALL THE 2023 LUXURY ORDERS – WITH CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND HARD BUILD NUMBERS from 5/19/22 will be vaporware since they will never ever leave the drawing board into actual production.
4). My Dealer GUARANTEES production of my BLACK (I wanted Blue but they ran out of blue paint after making a whopping TWO of them for the media) LUXURY TRIM 2023 LYRIQ Mid APRIL 2023.
Obviously this is going to be an on-going Knee-Slapper.
Market Adjustment is DEALER GREED. I know it’s to late for you but if it happens to others go to another Dealer.
Also make a complaint report to the FTC and you State AG.
Emailed 20 dealers. Only 1 had the vehicle the rest said they did. A black 2023 debut at the $60,625 price for the takeitorleaveit paint.
Orig buyer could NOT afford it. But dealer said they are adding $25,000 onto the price, since anyone ordering now has to wait until 2025. I of course walked.
Yes, the mark up is a rip off.
I preordered in May a RWD 2023 Lyriq, what trim level would the 2023 Lyriq be comparable to in the 2024 Lyriq trim levels? Would the 2023 Lyriq compare to the2024 Lyriq Lux 1 or Lux 2?
My understanding was the 2023 would be fully equipped, meaning all options including Supercruise and high end audio. So my guess is the equivalent 2024 would be Lux2 which is several thousand dollars more than the 2023 model. Like everyone else who ordered last May, I am in the dark. If in fact the 2023 has $7,000 included in optional equipment over the 2024, I guess I’ll be okay with receiving it. If the 2024 similarly equipped is about the same price as the 2023, I do not want the 2023. I think the 2023 was also supposed to come with a credit of $1,500 or so for installation of home charging.
Ultimately I am excited about the car, but pissed GM hasn’t kept any of us informed of what is going on or when we might receive our Lyriq. I believe there have been a series of unexpected problems that GM doesn’t want to confess to. So they just remain silent while trying to work through them.
John. Agreed !!
Think of all the test drive time and pre-ads gaucking over that silly choreographed grille lighting at turn on. I found out if you have it , like all 2033s do, you can’t shut it off , but thankfully I it is dim.
Fortunately, for people buying 2024s it’s an optional extra and you are not forced to have it, a security issue for me, as I do not want to announce I am trying to get into a pricey car.
All the time spent on these type of things and painfully little effort trying to make the cars saleable..
The very basic Tech 2024 model, or something even more basic without the huge dashboard, or gesture hatch, or ungodly huge charger which even gm realizes will be seldom used at all by the vast majority of buyers, and the non working super cruise hardware, should have been left off the first model to get a working, reliable car in people’s hands.
If this delay goes much further I’ll get a stripped almost identical NAFTA Blazer, which is also a decently midsized SUV, and goes 320 Miles per charge which are the primary reasons I got a hard build order on a Lyriq in the first place.
Correction:
At first in the ‘Build Configurator’ the Choregraphed lighting was optional (for a few days that is).. Now, it is STANDARD on all 2024 Trims including the stripped TECH.
That is this week….. Also new info is that it is defeatable from a settings menu.. This goes against what the Oracle at Delphi GM BIG EXPERT said at the Dealership GM traveling roadshow that in no way is it defeatable.
Who knows what the policy will be next week?
You can’t ask Cadillac, because like Little Kids, they are sure to change their minds AGAIN.
We ordered in May also. We were told 3 weeks ago that we will be getting a 2024. We ordered a Luxury Level 3. We are getting $5,000.00 credit from GM to help deal with price increase. When we net it out we are paying $4,500 more for more choices and a slightly nicer car.
Tom:
I would guess that a 63k 2023is equivalent to a $74000 2024 top of the line except no leather seats, and no movable sunroof
