The Cadillac Lyriq is being offered for over $20,000 off its regular price, bringing the drive-away price of the large electric SUV under the $100,000 barrier for the first time.
The deal applies to new and demonstrator model year 2025 (MY25) Lyriq vehicles purchased by private buyers between December 1, 2025 and February 28, 2026, and delivered by March 31, 2026.
Regardless of state or territory, Cadillac is advertising a saving of $23,635 for the drive-away price of the entry-level Luxury variant and $25,173 for the Sport flagship.
The Cadillac Australia configurator now lists the Luxury and Sport at $91,300 before on-road costs, bringing it under the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold for “fuel-efficient vehicles”, which qualifies it for a fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption.
On-road costs are limited to stamp duty, registration, compulsory third-party insurance, and plate fees.

The Lyriq Sport traditionally commanded a $2000 price premium over the Lyriq Luxury, but now both model grades are being offered for the same price.
Premium paint is also being included at no extra cost, though leather upholstery – instead of Inteluxe leatherette – remains a $3000 option.
The Cadillac Australia website lists 68 pre-configured Lyriqs in inventory.
Prior to this deal, Cadillac was offering a $10,000 “Special Offer Discount” on the Lyriq electric vehicle (EV) during October and November, per the brand’s online configurator.
It was also publicising a deal that saw the combined value of on-road costs and LCT taken off the total drive-away price, resulting in total savings of between $11,393 and $16,405.
The Lyriq was therefore priced at $114,935 drive-away in Luxury trim and $116,473 drive-away in Sport trim – still a significant saving compared to their list prices of $122,000 and $124,000 before on-road costs, respectively, but not as generous as this latest deal.
You can order Lyriqs online or visit the brand’s (thus far) only Experience Centre in Australia, located in the Sydney suburb of Rosebery.
Cadillac also has a test drive location in Port Melbourne in Victoria, but its next planned Experience Centre – in Brisbane – has yet to open. It had been scheduled to open by the end of this year.
Deliveries of the Lyriq commenced in Australia early in 2025, and it’s the US premium EV brand’s debut model here, where it’s yet to report its sales figures.
Cadillac Australia says it’s still on track to add connected services to the Lyriq this year, which will include an update for existing Lyriq owners who will be required to visit one of the brand’s service locations.
The Lyriq will retain wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but gain Google Built-in, featuring embedded Google apps such as Google Maps and Google Assistant, with more apps available to download via the Google Play Store.
Embedded Google Maps will feature smart routing which can suggest charging stops along your route.
Outside the car, you’ll be able to use a smartphone app to remotely check the vehicle’s status including its location and charge level, and control the door locks, alarm, lights, windows and air-conditioning.
The Lyriq-V, Optiq and Vistiq electric SUVs due on sale here in 2026 will also receive the same suite of technology.
All buyers will receive eight years of Cadillac Connected Services from the date of first registration.
One key piece of technology Cadillac offers in North America but not here is Super Cruise, which allows hands-free driving across over a million kilometres of roads on the continent.
Parent company General Motors has said Australian legislation doesn’t support the feature’s use locally, and the cost to map a country runs into the millions of dollars.
