Cadillac Lyriq zaps BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: US luxury SUV coming with free public and home charging

US luxury brand Cadillac has introduced new incentives on the eve of its 2025 Cadillac Lyriq’s Australian launch that will see all buyers benefit from free charging – either at home or when using public charging stations.

Set to land later this year, the Cadillac Lyriq deal sees the BMW iX or Mercedes-Benz EQE fighter bag free one-year public charging through Chargefox’s extensive charging infrastructure.

Owners then have the choice of a further two-years free public charging or letting the brand install a complimentary Jet Charge wall-box at home or at their place of work.

With the latter, owners can top-up the new all-electric SUV at a rate of 7.4kW.

Lowering costs even further, the latest Cadillac incentive comes in addition to five-years of free scheduled servicing, five-years of roadside assistance and a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Handily, the new complimentary package is also transferrable from one owner to the next, which could prop up Lyriq values come resale in the first couple of years.

Set to land in Australia before the end of this year, Cadillac says it now expects mst customers to receive their cars from early 2025.

To help buyers overcome the financial obstacle of a six-figure price tag, Cadillac says it’s working with car-finance experts Penti for tailored financing deals for the inbound SUV.

Cadillac has previosuly announced the Lyriq will be priced from $117,000 plus-on-road cost for the base Luxury trim and $119,000 (plus ORCs) for the flagship Sport.
