announced it will return to the local market in late 2024 – as with the current
Chevrolet and GMC brands distribution of Cadillac here will be handled by
General Motors Speciality Vehicles (GMSV) and will be exclusively electric for the
Australian market. First up next year, the large Cadillac Lyric SUV manufactured
in right hand drive in the U.S. followed at a date to be announced by the smaller
