2023 CADILLAC LYRIQ AWD EMERGES IN EPA RANGE RATINGS
The difference between RWD and AWD is minimal.
The all-wheel drive version of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq recently appeared on the EPA's range and efficiency rating list, joining the initial rear-wheel drive version.
It's an interesting finding because the company is currently offering the 2024 model year Cadillac Lyriq (RWD and AWD), which is not listed yet.
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq AWD has an EPA Combined range of 307 miles (494 km), which is a pretty solid result - some five miles lower than the initial RWD version from 2023.
Energy consumption, including charging losses, is 89 MPGe: 379 watt-hours per mile (235 Wh/km), almost identical to the previous RWD rating.

According to the manufacturer, the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq is expected to have an EPA Combined range of 308 miles (RWD) and 307 miles (AWD). In other words, the RWD range will be 4 miles lower, while the AWD range should be the same.
Let's recall that the car is equipped with a 102-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery (Ultium lithium-ion cell with NCMA cathode).
