Cadillac Lyriq Performance Overview

Cadillac’s Lyriq entered production for 2023 to 2024 as an all-electric midsize luxury crossover, and across 4 verified tests in that span it has established a narrow but clear performance range. From launch, output has covered roughly 340 to 500 hp, all through electric powertrains rather than gasoline or hybrid variants. Early instrumented results showed the 2023 450E Debut Edition reaching 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, while the 2024 Sport posted a quicker 5.1-second run, outlining the model’s baseline rear- and dual-motor performance envelope.

The key step came immediately with the 2023 Luxury, which set the line’s quickest recorded acceleration at 4.6 seconds to 60 mph and backed it up with a 12.9-second quarter-mile at 113 mph, still the fastest quarter-mile in the sample. That gave the Lyriq an average 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds and an average quarter-mile of 13.63 seconds at 106.2 mph across the available tests. As it stands today, the Lyriq remains a single-generation EV offered only with electric propulsion, with the 2023 Luxury still representing both the all-time and current-production benchmark in this dataset.
