Assigned RPO code GJY and touch-up paint code WA-127J, Celestial Metallic is one of eight exterior colors offered on the all-electric luxury crossover, which include:
- Crystal White Tricoat
- Stellar Black Metallic
- Opulent Blue Metallic
- Argent Silver Metallic (new for 2023)
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (new for 2023)
- Celestial Metallic (new for 2023)
- Nimbus Metallic (new for 2023)
- Emerald Lake Metallic (new for 2023)
The Celestial Metallic color is an extra-cost option priced at $625. It is available on all trim levels, with the option to add a Black roof on the top equipment group of both the Luxury (1SE) and Sport (1SK) trim levels. Celestial Metallic can be combined with all available interior colorways.
For reference, here are the five available interior colorways offered on the 2024 Lyriq:
- Noir (Tech)
- Noir with Santorini Blue accents (Luxury and Sport)
- Sky Cool Gray with Santorini Blue accents (Luxury and Sport)
- Oxford Stone with Garnet accents (Luxury 1SE and Sport 1SK)
- Juniper with Sky Cool Gray accents (Luxury 1SE and Sport 1SK)
Introduced for the 2023 model year, the Cadillac Lyriq stands as the luxury marque’s first entry into the budding EV market. The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq arrives with several important changes and updates. Among these is the introduction of the new Tech and Sport trim levels, with the Luxury trim level slotting between those. All three trim levels (Tech, Luxury, Sport) are available in the U.S. with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq will be the first GM vehicle in North America to feature 5G network connectivity, standard on all trim levels. The 2024 Lyriq also gets a new power panoramic dual-panel sunroof along with a newly available Nappa Leather seating package, which is genuine leather made from calfskin or other types of soft cowhide.
Regardless of the trim level selected, range-per-charge is estimated at 308 miles for rear-wheel-drive models, with motor output set at 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, and 307 miles for all-wheel-drive models, with motor output set at 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. The all-electric luxury crossover rides on the GM BEV3 platform, while GM Ultium batteries pair with GM Ultium Drive motors for motivation.
Production for the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq takes place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. The online configurator tool is live for the 2024 Lyriq.

These articles are such a joke. They make such a big deal over paint colors and then sister rag Cadillac Society mentions that FOUR Blue metalics (count ’em – 4) were made for all of the 2023 model year… They did make a whopping 12 whites though… Other than a few initial silvers – almost all Lyriqs are BLACK – like mine, who were forced over from whatever the customer initially chose.
SAW ALREADY SO MANY CURRENT PRODUCTION UGLY VEHICLES THAT LOST MY GOOD REFERENCES …
I don’t ever want black again for a car….they look great in lower light or overcast but up close in the sunlight the swirl marks and small scrapes stand out are a pain to polish out.
What I want to know is the heads up display available on the 2024 vehicles now? If not that is not acceptable for a vehicle in this price range. Several family members have lesser $$ cars with heads up displays that are extremely impressive..speed, direction, road names, navigation info, cruise info etc… makes driving so much easier on trips. If the 2024 model cannot support or supply the heads up display that is probably the last straw on my order after waiting this long. I won’t pay for a car in this price range that does not even have HUD nowadays.
While this article was about paint colors, and yes, black paint sucks, I agree that the missing HUD is very disappointing. When I pre-ordered a ’24 Lyriq in September last year, the automotive press was all abuzz over the next-gen HUD that would see its first application in the Lyriq. Now GM has dropped or at least delayed including the HUD and no one seems to be pressing the issue. Mine will most likely see production in late summer or fall and deliver without a HUD. I’ve had HUD in every car (6 or 7) since a 2001 Corvette. It’s not a deal-breaker, but kind of like adaptive cruise control or an electric garage-door opener: once you’ve had it, you can’t imagine life without it. True that it’s standard on many lesser cars.
If it doesn’t make production for my Lyriq, I’ll probably pre-order again and wait for the HUD, maybe in the Lyriq V by then?
Just ordered my Lyriq RWD Luxury 3 trim and they came back with Celestial Metallica as unavailable…unbelievable ;-(. So now we’re back to black.
Like Ford model “T” any color you want……
Except here the mandatory black is a mandatory $625 option at extra cost.
Let’s also assume some of you want your 2024 Lyriq with the recently $500 off (used to be a $1,980 , now $1,480 option bargain) car charger under your hood instead of the plain 48 amp model that gives you 80 amp capability if you order it.
Except that ain’t available either.
Rather like my 2022 bolt euv – purchased June 2021, where I was promised a new battery after LG forked over a $Billion.
Now, GM is just keeping the battery and tells me they won’t change it.
Hi,
Just ordered my Lyriq 2024 AWV Sport 1 package in Nimbus Metallic. Was not in a rush. From what I was told some car dealerships are price gouging now.
By chance, did anyone happen to see the color Nimbus Metallic color on the road?
Does it look like a light blue as pictured? Heard in the light that it looks like a mint green?
Thanks,
Linda
