Powertrain
The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq carries over the powertrain choices from the the 2024 and 2023 model years, but with an increase in horsepower. The increase is not the result of hardware changes, but are rather the result of software changes to the Lyriq’s electric powertrain.

Production
Production of the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq takes place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. This plant supplies the Lyriq to all markets except for China. Production of the 2025 Lyriq started on May 6th, 2024.
Meanwhile, the SAIC-GM Cadillac Jinqiao plant supplies the vehicle to the Chinese domestic market.
Platform
Like all first-generation Lyriqs, the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq continues to ride on the GM BEV3 platform, a skateboard-style electric vehicle architecture utilized by a wide variety of GM EVs. Fittingly, BEV3 stands for “Battery Electric Vehicle 3”, as it replaced the BEV2 platform.
The Lyriq uses Ultium batteries and Ultium Drive motors, which are fully integrated with the BEV3 architecture. Note that the Ultium branding is being dropped.
Seating
The 2025 Lyriq is offered in one seating configuration (2-3) seating a maximum of five passengers. This setup features front bucket seats (providing seating for two), along with a 60/40 split bench seat in the second row (seating three).
A larger battery electric Cadillac crossover with three rows of seating – the Cadillac Vistiq – will launch for the 2026 model year.
Beyond 2025
We expect the current, first-generation Lyriq to remain in production through at least the 2030 model year, and an all-new, next-generation Lyriq to launch thereafter.
