As GM Authority reported back in February 2023, General Motors claimed that the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq RWD boasted a range of 308 miles on a full charge. Now, it appears as though the Detroit-based automaker has slightly updated the range figures for the RWD variant of Cadillac’s EV luxury crossover.
According to the Cadillac consumer website, the 2024 Lyriq RWD now has a maximum range of 314 miles from a full charge. Notably, the 2023 Lyriq RWD featured a 312-mile range, while the 2024 Lyriq AWD remains at 307 miles of range.
An interesting piece worth noting is that this updated range figure isn’t reflected on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website as of the time of this writing. However, Transport Canada’s website does feature a 505-kilometer range for the 2024 Lyriq RWD, which amounts to 314 miles.
In regard to other 2024-related Lyriq developments, the luxury crossover features a few select updates over the preceding model year, most notable being the new power panoramic dual-panel sunroof. Tagged with RPO code CAJ, this new feature replaces the standard fixed glass roof (RPO code CFD), both of which include a power retractable sunshade.
In addition, the 2024 Lyriq sees the introduction of the entry-level Tech trim level.
As a reminder, the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq RWD features a single motor mounted on the rear axle, producing 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq AWD is equipped with a pair of electric motors – one per axle – that develop a combined 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. Both models utilize GM’s Ultium battery tech and GM Ultium Drive motors.
Under the skin, the first-generation Lyriq rides on the GM BEV3 platform, while production takes place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.

After resubmitting my request via an email for a 2024 model and getting no call or response from my dealer after more than a month I called Cadillac. They researched my original order (started with a C) and found no new order and couldn’t determine the status of my current order. They said C orders were 2024 and B orders were for 2023?? They then said they wanted to get my dealer on the phone to see what was going on …. I said don’t bother. I sent a note to my dealer and told them to refund my 1K. I’m moving on to a different vehicle.
It’s easier to buy a Tucker than most vehicles GM says they are going to market, especially EVs.
Wish you luck getting your 1K back from the dealer. At least soon.
I think they have a “Wheel of Fortune” “Spin Da Wheel” method of computing this.
The change was not 2 miles it was 6 miles – from 312 of the identical 2023 to 308 to 314.
So, apparently there was no reason to reduce the mileage from the 2023 models – although my 2023 is the first GM plug-in I’ve owned that loses a Mile per Day from running that Choreographed lighting nonsense all the time in my attached garage. All the other GM plug-ins you could walk away from them for a week and the range left would be the same a week later. But this silliness must draw a lot of power, since you hear fans running cooling whatever is running to implement it.
But now they’ve guessed apparently that not only are the 2024s not 4 miles less efficient than the 2023s, they are now 2 miles more efficient – so that is easily just another guess…
Although the pretty non-existent AWD models haven’t changed their efficiency, not that anyone would really know.
I can report that if you stay off the interstates, I can get around 398 miles on my 2023. Minus what is used up when the car is in the garage doing light shows for the neighbors.
Something is haywire with this website…. The text doesn’t appear in any reasonable time after you comment.
GM AUTHORITY needs to start doing some investigative journalism and find out what the real story with the absolute disaster of a rollout the Hummer and Lyriq are experiencing. It seems as they are either deliberately slow walking to work out bugs in software or any hardware defects OR they are experiencing some sort of production difficulties ?
Does the rollout of low-volume vehicles like the Hummer and Lyriq matter to GM’s EV plans? Let’s be realistic $100k Hummers and $65k+ Lyriqs aren’t what the general market buys. They need to get those right before they roll out the Silverado, Blazer, and Equinox EVs that are based on the Hummer and Lyriq. That’s what GM has to get right and in volume.
On top of this, they are ramping up cell production in Ohio. The plan was to have that at full capacity in early fall with the second cell plant in Tennessee coming online about the same time.
Just saw one last week at the local Cadillac dealer, this vehicle’s styling does not impress me one bit. Also, it looked small seeing it in person.
I agree, The thing that really disappointed me was the front end of the car is just a large piece of flat plastic. It looks more significant in the TV commercials. The dealership that I was at had two of them. A Grey one and a white one. The grey one looked somewhat upscale, but the white one didn’t look luxurious at all. Good luck Cadillac on this one.
Glad to see that the latest Lyriqs finally dropped the pop out doors and are now using a Tesla style door handle. Surprised no on has mentioned that yet.
