That’s a fair bit more grunt than the rear-wheel-drive single-motor base model, which has 340 hp and opens for ordering May 19.

  • Cadillac revealed that the dual-motor, AWD version of the Lyriq EV will produce an estimated 500 horsepower.
  • The rear-wheel-drive, single-motor version goes on sale first with 340 hp.
  • The 2023 Lyriq starts at $59,990 and will be open for orders starting May 19.

    Cadillac has only detailed the base single-motor powertrain for the new 2023 Lyriq electric SUV so far. But now we know that the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version will offer an estimated 500 horsepower, as Cadillac shared that figure on an Instagram Q&A session today.

    While the base 340-hp single-motor Lyriq RWD starts at $59,990, we assume that the dual-motor variant will cost a fair bit more than that to start. Its 500 horsepower, which comes from front and rear electric motors, will put it in strong contention with other EV SUV competitors including the 469-hp Audi e-tron S and the 516-horsepower BMW iX xDrive50. We assume the Lyriq AWD will use the same battery pack as the RWD model, which offers 100.0-kWh of usable capacity and an EPA-estimated 312 miles of range; the more powerful dual-motor version will likely have a slightly lower range estimate.

    Cadillac will open orders for the 2023 Lyriq starting May 19, but the initial production run will include only the single-motor Lyriq Debut Edition form that comes only in silver or black and doesn’t offer many option choices. We don’t know exact timing yet on when the dual-motor cars will arrive, but Cadillac says to expect other versions of the Lyriq to go on sale this fall.
