The engine

Single Electric Motor

Single Electric Motor (RWD)

A single rear-mounted motor gives the Lyriq smooth, quiet, instantly-available torque and a relaxed, luxury-first power delivery rather than outright aggression.

The Lyriq is the first Cadillac built on GM's Ultium platform and battery architecture, marking the brand's transition into the electric era.

Its large Ultium battery pack is packaged to give the Lyriq a near 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution.
Rear-drive single-motor versions deliver well over 300 miles of EPA-estimated range.
With DC fast charging the Lyriq can recover tens of miles of range in roughly ten minutes.
