Austin’s drivers lead diverse lifestyles—from downtown professionals to families exploring Hill Country to
eco-conscious adventurers heading out to the lakes. At Covert
Cadillac Bee Cave
, your trusted Cadillac dealer in Austin,
we know no two drivers are alike. That’s why Cadillac’s 2025 lineup includes models as different—and as
impressive—as the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq and the spacious Cadillac XT6.

Cadillac Lyriq: The Future of Driving

The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq represents Cadillac’s bold leap into the electric future. With a range of up to 314 miles
on a full charge, it’s perfect for Austin drivers who want eco-friendly commuting without sacrificing luxury.
Features include:

  • Ultium battery platform with fast charging capabilities
  • Zero-emission performance
  • Cutting-edge driver-assistance features like Super Cruise
  • A quiet, smooth ride ideal for city and highway driving

Cadillac XT6: Family-Friendly Versatility

For drivers who need space, power, and flexibility, the 2025 XT6 delivers. With seating for up to seven and a
robust 310-horsepower V6, it’s made for family road trips, carpools, and weekend getaways. Key highlights include:

  • Three-row seating with premium materials
  • Advanced safety technologies like automatic emergency braking
  • Ample cargo space for luggage, groceries, or sports gear
  • Optional AWD for Hill Country adventures
