2027 Cadillac Lyriq Configurator Is Now Live: Everything You Need to Know Before You Build Yours
Cadillac has jumped on board with a feature that has long been requested by electric vehicle shoppers. The official configurator for the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq is now live on Cadillac's website, allowing you to design your ideal electric SUV from the ground up. From choosing the trim to selecting colors and features, you can mix and match options until the price hits your target range. If you've been shopping for this luxury EV, now is the perfect time to open up the configurator and start building your dream Lyriq.
This guide covers everything new for 2027, the cost, the value, and answers to the questions that most shoppers have before they pull the trigger. Let's jump right in.
What's New for the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq
The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq has had more than just a few tweaks and updates to refresh the model for the new year. The changes are significant enough that the 2027 model is not just a 2026 with a new paint job. Chief among the updates is the charging solution on the Lyriq. For the first time, the Cadillac Lyriq has a built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. In other words, the 2027 Lyriq has a Tesla-style charging port.
That change alone unlocks a whole new world of possibilities for Lyriq owners. With access to the Tesla Supercharger network, the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq can take advantage of more than 25,000 charging stations across North America. That network alone is a huge draw for many EV buyers, and it's one that the Lyriq was previously unable to take advantage of before this update.
In addition to the charging update, Cadillac has also added three new exterior paint colors to the 2027 Lyriq lineup. There are also a few changes to equipment that shoppers should be aware of when using the configurator to build their ideal Lyriq.
The Augmented Reality Head-Up Display Was Removed From Some Trims
If you're a fan of the Augmented Reality Head-Up Display on the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq, there's some sad news for you. This feature was standard on the Signature Luxury, Signature Sport, Lyriq-V, and Lyriq-V Premium trims for 2026 but will no longer be available on the Signature Luxury and Signature Sport trims for 2027.
The feature will still be standard on the Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium trims.
That means that if you're shopping for a Signature Luxury or Signature Sport and expect the heads-up display to be standard, it won't be there. Double-check your build in the configurator before finalizing your order, as this is one of those changes that can be easy to overlook.
New Interior Colors and Materials Fit for a Luxury SUV
The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq also gets some new interior colors and materials. Signature Luxury and Signature Sport owners can now choose from two premium interior packages. The first is the Black Nappa Leather with Sky Cool Gray, and the second is the Kona Brown Sauvage Nappa Leather with Sheer Gray. Both of these packages replace the standard Inteluxe upholstery with perforated full Nappa leather, which feels much nicer than the standard upholstery.
Meanwhile, the Lyriq-V Premium has also gotten a minor update for 2027. The previously available Oxford Stone with Garnet accents gets replaced with the Kona Brown Sauvage Nappa Leather with Sheer Gray interior. It's a small change, but it's enough to keep the Lyriq-V Premium feeling fresh and up-to-date with the rest of the model lineup.
2027 Cadillac Lyriq Pricing: How Much Does It Cost?
Let's talk about money. If you're shopping for the Cadillac Lyriq, it's likely that price is one of your primary concerns. Luckily, the configurator makes it easy to mix and match features and see how the price changes as you go. The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq has a starting price that is $61,195 for the Luxury RWD trim, which is only about $200 higher than the 2026 model. This is a slight increase, but it's well worth it for the included NACS charging port and the other updates that come with the 2027 model year.
The performance-focused Lyriq-V Premium, on the other hand, has a starting price of $85,695. In the middle, you'll find the Signature Sport for around $70,295, which is a nice balance of luxury and technology without breaking the bank. In addition to the standard equipment, there are also a few upgrades that are worth considering.
The Carbon Fiber Package for the Lyriq-V costs $5,700 and adds a more aggressive, motorsport-inspired look. Buyers who love Cadillac's hands-free driving system can extend Super Cruise coverage by eight years for $3,000 and is a great upgrade if you plan on keeping your Lyriq for a long time. The GM Energy PowerShift Charger, on the other hand, is a $1,999 upgrade that makes charging much more convenient if you're going to be plugging your Lyriq into a standard household outlet.
Range, Battery, and Charging: How Far Can It Go?
One of the most important considerations for any electric vehicle purchase is the range. Luckily for Cadillac Lyriq owners, the 2027 model has a massive range that should satisfy even the most demanding drivers. The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq uses a 102 kWh battery pack, and the Single Motor RWD version of the Lyriq has an estimated driving range of 326 miles on a full charge. The Dual Motor AWD version has a slightly lower range of 319 miles on a full charge. Meanwhile, the performance-focused Lyriq-V variants have an estimated driving range of 285 miles on a full charge.
The range is slightly lower than the base Lyriq, but it's still impressive for an electric luxury SUV.
In terms of charging speed, the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq can charge at a rate of up to 190 kW. This means that you can add up to 86 miles of range to your Lyriq in just 10 minutes at a fast-charging station. With the new NACS charging port, finding a fast-charging station is much easier, as Tesla Superchargers make up the majority of fast-charging stations in North America.
Where Is the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq Made?
Every 2027 Cadillac Lyriq is built on General Motors' BEV3 electric vehicle platform. This is the same platform that underpins many of General Motors' other electric vehicles. The vehicles are built at the GM Spring Hill Assembly in Tennessee, which has been a major manufacturing hub for General Motors' electric vehicles.
Why Does It Matter That the Configurator Is Live?
The configurator is a huge draw for many Cadillac shoppers, and for good reason. It lets you build your ideal Lyriq and see exactly what it will look like and how much it will cost. With the configurator, you can also see how different colors and wheels look on your Lyriq and preview the interior before you buy. In short, it's a great tool that helps you finalize your build and get an accurate estimate of the final cost.
For many shoppers, spending 20 minutes or so in the configurator is all it takes to go from being "maybe interested" to "I want this car now." That's the power of the configurator, and it's why it's such a huge draw for Cadillac shoppers.
