The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq drops the previous Tech base trim, and but lower prices for the remaining trim levels help counteract that move.

The Lyriq Tech started at $58,590 for the 2024 model year but lacked many of the standard features on the Luxury 1 grade that is now the base model for 2025. Thanks to a $2,700 price cut, the Luxury 1 costs $59,990 including the mandatory $1,395 destination charge. A Sport 1 grade is positioned just above that at $60,490 ($2,700 less than the 2024 model year).

Cadillac also cut the prices of the Luxury 2 and Sport 2 grades by $2,000, so they now start at $64,990 and $65,490, respectively. The top Luxury 3 and Sport 3 grades are priced $2,220 lower, at $68,390 for the Luxury 3 and $68,890 for the Sport 3.

A single-motor rear-wheel-drive powertrain rated at 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque remains standard. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain that bumps output to 500 hp and 450 lb-ft is an extra $3,500. All Lyriq models use a 102-kwh battery pack. EPA range ratings of 314 miles for single-motor models and 307 miles for dual-motor models will likely remain unchanged.

The only notable changes to equipment for 2025 are standard OnStar telematics features and front-passenger memory, a standard Technology Package for Luxury 2 and Sport 2 grades that includes a hands-free tailgate and rearview camera mirror, and more color choices for the interior ambient lighting system.

The Lyriq debuted for the 2023 model year as the first Cadillac EV based on General Motors' Ultium architecture. Cadillac is continuing to add EVs, including the entry-level Optiq and three-row Vistiq, but GM is reportedly reconsidering plans to make the luxury brand all-EV by 2030.
