Cadillac to expand EV dealer network across Australia and New Zealand

American luxury brand Cadillac is set for a more aggressive dealership rollout across Australia and New Zealand, with its parent company General Motors actively seeking new dealer partners.

Following confirmation late in 2023 of its launch in Australia and New Zealand as an electric vehicle (EV)-only brand – led by the Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV, of which deliveries commenced early in 2025 – Cadillac’s retail network has grown slowly.

It opened the first of three planned company-owned ‘Experience Centres’ in Australia when the Sydney site at Rosebery began operating in November 2024.

A planned Brisbane location still has yet to open, though there’s a test-drive venue in Port Melbourne. The sole New Zealand site, located in Auckland, opened in April 2025, bringing the total to three outlets across both countries.

In early 2026, Cadillac announced its second and third models – the mid-size Cadillac Optiq SUV and full-size, three-row Cadillac Vistiq SUV – prompting an expansion of its sales network.

“Following the growth of our EV line-up in Australia and New Zealand, our customers are telling us they want more ways to experience Cadillac – and partnering with trusted local experts allows us to do just that,” said GM Australia and New Zealand managing director Jess Bala.

“Adding new dealer locations in Melbourne and Brisbane, along with our Experience Centres in Sydney and Auckland, is expected to provide more access for our customers in more locations.”
