Safety restraint issue
SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT

Consequence
Incorrect head restraint information may lead to improperly adjusted head restraints, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Suspension issue
SUSPENSION:FRONT:STABILIZER BAR
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Cadillac LYRIQ vehicles.

A detached stabilizer bar or bracket can damage the vehicle's high voltage cables or EV battery coolant lines.
Consequence
Damaged cables or coolant lines can result in a vehicle shutdown, causing a loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash.
Full campaign recordRemedy

What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 13 comparable 2025 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 8.9% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 36 MPGe combined, the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq ranks 2nd of 14 small SUVs (2WD) EPA rated for 2025 — 5.5 MPGe better than the 30.5 MPGe median for that group.
That places it in the upper third of its class. Fuel cost is unlikely to be the deciding factor against its direct rivals.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $800, $1,200 less than the $2,000 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $4,000, a $6,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
