Cadillac is ushering in a new era of performance, innovation, and electrified luxury in the Middle East with the debut of the all-electric LYRIQ SUV and the refreshed CT5 sedan range, including the high-performance CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing. These latest additions reflect Cadillac’s bold strategy to deliver dynamic, future-forward vehicles that seamlessly blend heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology for a discerning new generation of drivers.
The Cadillac LYRIQ, now available across select showrooms in the region, stands out as a milestone in the brand’s electrification journey. As Cadillac’s second electric SUV in the GCC, the LYRIQ is engineered to deliver an elevated driving experience defined by style, power, and innovation. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive system generates 515 horsepower and 610 Nm of torque, while an estimated range of 463 km on a full charge makes it an ideal companion for both daily commutes and long drives through the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond. Owners benefit from ultra-fast DC charging capabilities, adding up to 130 km of range in just 15 minutes, along with a complimentary 22 kW wall-box charger for convenient at-home charging.
Step inside the LYRIQ and you’re greeted by an immersive 33-inch 9K LED display that sweeps across the dash, seamlessly integrating infotainment, navigation, and vehicle controls. The cabin exudes serenity and sophistication, accentuated by ambient lighting with 126 color options, next-generation Active Noise Cancellation, and a 19-speaker AKG Studio sound system. Combined, these features transform every journey into a moment of quiet confidence — a cornerstone of the Cadillac experience.
For those seeking the visceral thrill of traditional performance, the refreshed CT5 range offers a bold expression of power and precision. The updated CT5 introduces a reimagined front fascia, Cadillac’s signature vertical lighting, and a refined interior anchored by the same curved 33-inch LED display featured in the LYRIQ. Designed to balance luxury with athleticism, the CT5 delivers a connected, intuitive, and commanding ride — whether you’re cruising downtown Dubai or carving through winding desert highways.
The CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing models push performance boundaries even further. The CT5-V boasts a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine, producing 360 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, delivering immediate response and track-worthy dynamics. Meanwhile, the CT5-V Blackwing represents the apex of Cadillac engineering. Powered by a handcrafted 6.2L supercharged V8 engine, it unleashes a staggering 668 horsepower and 893 Nm of torque, making it Cadillac’s most powerful production sedan ever. Both models feature magnetic ride control, Brembo brakes, and available carbon-fiber packages that prioritize agility, grip, and control.
Beyond their performance credentials, both LYRIQ and CT5 showcase Cadillac’s continued investment in driver-centric technology and safety. The LYRIQ comes equipped with Google built-in integration, giving seamless access to navigation, voice assistance, and entertainment directly through the infotainment system. Additionally, drivers can manage vehicle health, charging, and controls via the myCadillac app. Onboard Wi-Fi, available in select GCC markets, ensures constant connectivity. Safety is paramount across both models, with standard driver-assistance systems including Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Keep Assist.
This regional launch is part of Cadillac’s broader vision to transform luxury mobility through electrification while remaining rooted in the brand’s heritage of bold design and innovation. Whether you’re drawn to the clean power and cutting-edge design of the LYRIQ or the raw power and sculpted elegance of the CT5-V Blackwing, these vehicles redefine what it means to drive a Cadillac in the 21st century.
Both vehicles reflect Cadillac’s commitment to offering customers powertrain flexibility while never compromising on design, performance, or experience. As the luxury automotive market in the Middle East continues to embrace electrification and digital innovation, Cadillac’s latest offerings are poised to lead the conversation, blending timeless style with future-ready performance.
Now available at Cadillac showrooms across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, the LYRIQ and CT5 cater to a generation of drivers ready to embrace the future — without giving up the thrill, elegance, or soul of a true luxury vehicle.
