Key Features of the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ


The 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ brings electric luxury to the forefront, marking a new era for drivers in Ontario. At True North Chevrolet Cadillac, we’re thrilled to showcase this model’s cutting-edge single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) and its robust dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) options.


These choices let you pick the driving experience that fits your style.


Cadillac doesn’t hold back with its Ultium battery technology either, setting a high standard for power storage and efficiency. This means not just more kilometres per charge but also smoother rides through North Bay streets or wherever your journey takes you.


Our team at True North Chevrolet is ready to help you explore how the LYRIQ can transform your drives with its innovative features and unmatched comfort.


Single-Motor RWD and Dual-Motor AWD options


Luxury vehicle shoppers in Ontario have exciting options with the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. Our team at True North Chevrolet Cadillac is thrilled to share that this electric model comes with two dynamic drivetrains.


Choose between a single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) and a dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD). The RWD option delivers an impressive 340 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque, perfect for smooth, responsive driving on city streets or highways.


For those seeking even more power, the AWD version ramps up performance to 500 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque, providing exceptional handling in various weather conditions.


Range matters for electric vehicle owners, and the LYRIQ doesn’t disappoint. With the RWD setup, travel up to approximately 505 kilometres on a single charge – ideal for long trips or daily commutes without range anxiety.


Opting for the robust AWD version slightly reduces the maximum distance to about 494 kilometres per charge but enhances capability significantly—making every journey luxurious yet practical.


At True North Chevrolet Cadillac in North Bay, we offer both models alongside expert advice on financing or leasing options for qualified customers seeking their next exhilarating ride in an all-electric luxury SUV like no other.

Ultium battery technology


Our team at True North Chevrolet Cadillac is excited about the Ultium battery technology in the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. This advanced system powers both single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD options, ensuring a thrilling drive every time.


The secret lies in its massive 102 kWh capacity. That means you get a lot of power to make your ride smooth and fast. Also, this technology helps distribute the vehicle’s weight evenly, almost perfectly split between front and back.


Why does this matter? Because it makes your car handle better and stay stable on the road.

Charging your LYRIQ won’t keep you waiting too long, either. With Level 2 charging capabilities, you can add up to 51 miles of range in just about an hour at a speed of 19.2 kW.


So whether you’re making quick stops around town or preparing for a longer journey, getting back on the road is swift and convenient with our Cadillac electric vehicles equipped with Ultium battery technology here at True North Chevrolet Cadillac in North Bay, Ontario—all on approved credit or for qualified customers, of course!
