The Cadillac Lyriq is a battery-electric luxury SUV sold for the 2023 through 2026 model years. It uses a 102 kWh battery and was offered with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, so the first step in understanding your vehicle is confirming its exact year, trim, and drivetrain.
That specificity matters when you sell. A Lyriq is not valued like a generic midsize SUV with an odometer reading attached. Its usable range, dual-motor or single-motor layout, battery condition, drive unit, and installed equipment shape who is looking for it and what they are willing to pay. A 2023 Debut Edition, a 2024 Sport 2 AWD, and a 2026 Signature Luxury RWD share the Lyriq name, but they are different configurations with different market comparisons.
The range story is a practical example. The 2023 rear-wheel-drive Lyriq has an EPA-estimated 312 miles of range. Cadillac lists 2025 configurations from 303 to 326 miles, depending on drivetrain and equipment. For someone considering a used EV, that difference affects daily use, road-trip planning, and the configuration they seek. It should be reflected in an offer rather than lost inside a broad price estimate.
The same is true of vehicle history and service records. A buyer will want to know whether recalls have been completed, whether the vehicle has had charging or display concerns, and whether body panels are in good shape. You can check open recalls by VIN at NHTSA.gov, and having service documentation ready gives a clear picture of your Lyriq. We walk through those details with you during a smartphone self-inspection instead of asking you to arrange showings or explain the vehicle repeatedly.
If you are deciding what to do next, start with the exact configuration on your registration or in your Cadillac account, then request an offer. We buy your Lyriq directly, nationwide, and use the details of your actual vehicle rather than a generic guide value.
The Lyriq stayed on the same 102 kWh battery architecture through the 2023 to 2026 model years, but Cadillac changed the trim naming and offered several range and drivetrain combinations. That makes configuration confirmation central to a straightforward sale.
For 2023, Cadillac offered Debut Edition, Luxury, and Sport trims. The rear-wheel-drive model has 312 miles of EPA-estimated range, while later references list all-wheel drive at 307 miles. The Debut Edition designation is worth identifying accurately because it is different from a later numbered Luxury or Sport trim.
For 2024, the lineup is Luxury 1, Luxury 2, Luxury 3, Sport 1, Sport 2, and Sport 3. Published figures place the year's configurations at 307 to 312 miles of range, with sources also listing 314 miles for a single-motor configuration. Your drivetrain and equipment are more useful than assuming one number applies to every 2024 Lyriq.
For 2025, Luxury 1, Luxury 2, Luxury 3, Sport 1, Sport 2, and Sport 3 remain the trim names. Cadillac lists 326 miles for RWD, 319 miles for one AWD configuration, and 303 miles for another. Those figures are why a serious buyer asks for the specific drivetrain rather than relying only on trim badging.
For 2026, the lineup changes to Luxury, Signature Luxury, Signature Sport, and Lyriq-V. The Luxury and Signature variants can have up to 326 miles in RWD form or 319 miles in AWD form, while the Lyriq-V is listed at 285 miles. The Lyriq-V is a distinct performance configuration, so identifying it correctly avoids comparing it with a standard AWD Lyriq.
Battery and drivetrain coverage are useful ownership context, even though they are not inputs to our offer. Cadillac publishes:
A newer Lyriq generally has more time and mileage remaining under those original terms than an earlier one, depending on its in-service date and odometer. Confirm the remaining coverage and any transfer terms with Cadillac for your VIN. For resale, the more immediate question is the current battery state of health, drive-unit condition, and configuration.
Software also deserves a quick look. Several Lyriq recalls were addressed through over-the-air or dealer-installed updates, including the 2023 to 2024 AWD brake-control campaign and the 2023 to 2024 driver-display campaign. During a sale, tell us about completed updates, display behavior, charging behavior, and any active alerts. It helps us assess your actual vehicle without treating every Lyriq as identical.
Owners sell for reasons specific to this vehicle and to where they are in ownership:
Your lease is ending, and you want a clear sale path without arranging trade-in appointments.
You are upgrading to another EV and want to sell your Lyriq before taking on a second payment.
Your household needs have changed, and the Lyriq no longer fits your daily routine.
A second vehicle is sitting unused, and you would rather free up the money tied to it.
You are moving and prefer a remote sale with pickup from your home.
You want to sell after completing a recall or service visit, with your vehicle records organized.
If any of that describes your situation, the next section is the answer.
Selling a Lyriq privately can work, but it asks you to do the explaining. A prospective buyer may want to discuss rear-wheel drive versus all-wheel drive, range figures, charging behavior, battery condition, recall completion, and the difference between a Sport and Luxury configuration. You also need to coordinate messages, test drives, and payment with people who may or may not follow through.
A dealer trade-in is another reasonable route, but some dealers price EV inventory as a wholesale unit intended to move quickly. A general used-car appraisal can also lean too heavily on mileage, even though EV resale depends on battery condition, drive unit condition, installed software-enabled equipment, and demand for the exact configuration.
We buy your Lyriq directly. Our offer is based on transaction data from EVs we have actually bought and sold, alongside the details that matter on your vehicle. Most sellers receive a real offer in under 15 minutes, and getting one does not obligate you to sell.
Here is what the process looks like:
There are no fees, ever. We do not deduct for paperwork, transport, closing, or processing, so the offer you accept is the amount you take home. We arrange free pickup from your driveway anywhere in the United States, and one EV buying expert stays with you from offer through pickup. If your Lyriq is financed, we pay the lender directly. If it is leased, we coordinate payoff with the leasing company, which typically takes two to three weeks.
Get your Lyriq offer now, then decide on your own timeline whether selling directly to us is right for you.
We confirm your Lyriq's 2023 to 2026 model year, named trim, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, Lyriq-V status where applicable, mileage, and major configuration details.
We review overall condition through a guided smartphone self-inspection, including battery state of health, drive unit condition, charging behavior, panels, interior, tires, and any material history you report.
We verify relevant software-enabled equipment and completed over-the-air updates. For a Lyriq, that can include display, camera, brake-control, or other recall-related update status.
We compare your exact Lyriq configuration, condition, and installed equipment with real EV transactions and demand in your location, not a national average or a gas-car mileage formula.
We lead with our best number, with no negotiation or back-and-forth. Your offer holds for seven days and changes only if the self-inspection finds something material that was not reported.
