Cadillac is back on UK roads. After an eight-year absence, the iconic American brand returns with a fully electric lineup—led by the bold and luxurious Cadillac Lyriq SUV. With a WLTP-estimated range of 330 miles, up to 606 bhp, and sleek performance-first styling, the Lyriq marks a new chapter for premium electric motoring in the UK.
The Lyriq: Power Meets Precision
Positioned to rival EV titans like the Volvo EX90 and Audi Q8 e-tron, the Lyriq arrives with dual-motor all-wheel drive, lightning-quick acceleration, and next-gen infotainment. The standard model offers 330 miles of range and around 520 bhp, while the Lyriq-V variant cranks it up to 606 bhp, delivering a more aggressive drive with around 285 miles of range.
Final Testing and Launch Timeline
Right-hand-drive testing is currently wrapping up in Ireland. Cadillac has confirmed that the UK launch is scheduled for late 2025, with digital-first ordering and showroom-lite experiences planned. This follows successful launches in Germany, Sweden, France, and Switzerland—suggesting a wider European strategy is well underway.
Why This Matters for the UK EV Market
Cadillac’s re-entry represents more than nostalgia. It’s a vote of confidence in the UK’s transition to electrification. As the market matures and consumers demand style, performance, and infrastructure support, premium players like Cadillac are stepping in to redefine expectations.
