What the Cadillac Lyriq configurator does and where to find it
The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq configurator is an online tool on Cadillac's website that lets you build a vehicle option by option, see the price update in real time, and generate a summary you can save or share with a dealer. You start by choosing a trim level, then work through exterior color, interior materials, wheel design, technology packages, and other add-ons. The tool shows you the base price, the cost of each addition, and your total before taxes and destination charges.
You can reach the configurator through Cadillac.com. Look for a "Build and Price" or "Configurator" link, usually in the main navigation or under the Lyriq model page. The tool works on desktop browsers and mobile devices, though a larger screen makes it easier to see all the options at once.
Key Takeaways
- The configurator shows real-time pricing as you add options, so you can see exactly how each choice affects the total cost.
- You can save your configuration to your Cadillac account or get a shareable link to send to a dealer or keep for later.
- The tool displays available colors, wheel styles, and package combinations for the 2026 model year, but availability can vary by region and dealer inventory.
- A configuration summary includes the VIN prefix and option codes, which a dealer uses to order or locate a matching vehicle.
- The configurator does not reserve a vehicle or commit you to a purchase; it is a planning and comparison tool only.
How to move through each configuration step
The configurator typically opens with trim selection. The 2026 Lyriq comes in multiple trim levels, each with a different base price and standard features. Choose the trim that matches your budget and desired feature set, then move forward.
Next, you select exterior color. The tool shows you a photo of the Lyriq in each available color so you can see how it looks in realistic lighting. Some colors carry an upcharge; the configurator displays this when ready.
After color, you choose wheels and tires. The Lyriq offers several wheel designs in different sizes, and some are standard while others cost extra. The configurator shows the wheel style, size, and any price difference.
Interior selections come next. You pick seat material (leather, synthetic, or cloth depending on trim), interior color or trim accents, and sometimes steering wheel or trim ring finishes. Each choice updates the total price on screen.
Understanding packages and add-on options
Rather than buying individual features one at a time, the Lyriq configurator groups related options into packages. A technology package might bundle a larger touchscreen, wireless charging, and an upgraded sound system. A luxury package might add leather seats, heated and cooled front seats, and premium interior trim.
Packages are usually cheaper than buying each feature separately, but the configurator shows you the package price and what is included before you commit. You can also see which packages are compatible with your chosen trim and which options conflict or cannot be combined.
Some add-ons are standalone — for example, a panoramic sunroof or a towing package. The configurator lists these separately and shows whether they can be added to your current configuration.
What the price summary includes and does not include
The total price shown in the configurator is the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for your configured vehicle. It includes the base price of the trim, the cost of every option and package you selected, and any destination charge Cadillac applies. This is the price before any dealer markup, taxes, or fees.
The summary does not include sales tax, registration, dealer documentation fees, or any dealer-added options or services. It also does not reflect any current rebates, incentives, or financing offers, which change frequently and vary by region and credit profile. A dealer can tell you what incentives you may be able to use when you visit or contact them.
The configurator also does not account for dealer inventory. A dealer may not have your exact configuration in stock and may need to order it, or they may have a similar vehicle with slightly different options available when ready.
How to save and share your configuration
Once you have built a configuration you like, the configurator offers options to save it. If you create a Cadillac account or sign in to an existing one, you can save the configuration to your account and return to it later from any device. This is useful if you want to compare multiple configurations over time or refine your choices before visiting a dealer.
You can also generate a shareable link or a PDF summary of your configuration. The link can be emailed to a dealer or a friend, and it shows your exact choices and the MSRP. The PDF includes the same information in a printable format, along with the option codes and VIN prefix that a dealer uses to order or locate a matching vehicle.
Some dealers also accept configurations directly through their own websites or through Cadillac's dealer locator tool, which can connect your configuration to nearby dealerships and let you request pricing or availability.
Differences between configurator pricing and actual dealer pricing
The price you see in the configurator is Cadillac's MSRP — the price the manufacturer suggests. Dealers are not required to charge this price. Some dealers offer discounts or negotiate below MSRP, especially if the vehicle is in inventory or if you are a returning customer. Other dealers may charge above MSRP if demand is high or if the vehicle is in short supply.
Dealer fees also vary. Some dealers charge a documentation fee, a delivery fee, or a dealer preparation fee. These are separate from the MSRP and are set by the dealership, not Cadillac. Always ask a dealer for their total out-the-door price, which includes all fees and taxes, so you can compare accurately.
Regional incentives and rebates also affect the final price. Cadillac and individual dealers sometimes offer cash rebates, financing incentives, or lease deals that are not visible in the configurator. A dealer can tell you what incentives explore to your situation and region.
What to do after you have built your configuration
After you have created a configuration, you have several options. You can visit a nearby Cadillac dealer with your configuration summary or link and ask if they have that vehicle in stock or can order it. Bring the VIN prefix and option codes from your summary; these help the dealer search their inventory system and understand exactly what you want.
You can also use Cadillac's dealer locator tool to find dealerships near you and contact them directly with your configuration. Some dealers respond to configuration inquiries online, while others prefer a phone call or in-person visit.
If you are not ready to buy yet, save your configuration to your account. You can return to it weeks or months later, update it if your preferences change, or use it to compare with other configurations. The configurator does not expire or lock you into anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order a 2026 Lyriq directly through the configurator?
No. The configurator is a planning and pricing tool only. Once you have built your configuration, you must contact a Cadillac dealer to place an order. The dealer handles the actual transaction, financing, and delivery.
Does the configurator show me vehicles that are actually in stock?
Not directly. The configurator shows you what options are available and what they cost, but it does not search dealer inventory. To find a vehicle that matches your configuration, you need to contact a dealer or use Cadillac's inventory search tool on their website.
What if I want to change my configuration after I save it?
You can edit a saved configuration at any time. Log into your Cadillac account, open the saved configuration, and make changes. The price updates automatically. You can save multiple versions if you want to compare different options.
Are the colors and options shown in the configurator available everywhere?
Availability varies by region and model year. Some colors or packages may be limited or not available in your area. A dealer can tell you what is available for order in your region and how long delivery typically takes.
Does the configurator price include delivery to my home?
The MSRP shown includes Cadillac's destination charge, which covers transport from the factory to the dealer. It does not include any additional delivery fees a dealer may charge to bring the vehicle to your home. Ask the dealer about their delivery options and costs.
