Cadillac

Dating back to 1902, Cadillac is one of the world's oldest carmakers and has been owned by General Motors since 1909. America's best-known luxury auto brand had only a fleeting official presence in Australia before its modern return.

Cadillac is now an EV-focused luxury brand in Australia and New Zealand. Its local electric SUV lineup includes the Lyriq, Optiq and Vistiq, giving the brand a three-model range spanning mid-size, large and three-row luxury SUVs.
