en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cadillac has implemented a permanent price adjustment for its Lyriq mid-size electric SUV in Australia, reducing the price to AUD 90,000 (excluding on-road costs) or AUD 95,000 (all-inclusive), with the same price for both Luxury and Sport trims. This adjustment represents a reduction of AUD 32,000 from the original price, positioning the Lyriq below Australia's Luxury Car Tax threshold for "fuel-efficient vehicles," making it exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax through salary sacrifice leasing.

The Lyriq is positioned between the brand's smaller Optiq (AUD 80,000) and the larger Vistiq (AUD 116,000). The powertrain remains unchanged, featuring a dual-motor system with a combined output of 388 kW and a 102 kWh battery pack, delivering a WLTP range of 530 km. Standard equipment includes 21-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, a 33-inch digital display, a 19-speaker AKG sound system, ambient lighting, and leather-appointed front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, while the rear outboard seats also feature heating and ventilation.

Cadillac previously confirmed that the high-performance Lyriq-V will launch in Australia in 2026, though plans may still be subject to change. As a brand under General Motors, Cadillac entered the Australian market last year as an all-electric brand, with the Lyriq as its debut model, to be followed by the Vistiq and Optiq. It currently operates an experience centre in Sydney and a test drive location in Melbourne, with plans to add dealerships in Brisbane and Melbourne in the first half of 2026. All models sold in Australia are factory-built right-hand drive, unlike some other GM models.

Despite having been in Australia for over a year, Cadillac has yet to officially release sales figures.
