![]() Both models feel a size larger, partly because of their low floor and spacious, relatively uninterrupted cabin layouts.)Ĭadillac also said that the Lyriq will get “the latest version of Super Cruise,” GM’s driver-assistance system with a range of features including automated lane changes on a network of 200,000 limited-access highways mapped into the system. (I sat in the back seat of the show car at GM’s EV Day in March, where analysts, dealers, and media were given a no-cameras preview, and see it landing in the same competitive space as the Audi Q4, which I’ve also been inside in its show version. GM confirms that the Lyriq is sized similarly to the current Cadillac XT5, which is about 182 inches long and 75 inches wide. While GM didn’t detail how such a system, which might require a 100-amp circuit, might work, but said the possibility would offer as much versatility as owners might want and the upgrades will be supported by its Qmerit home-installation partner. Cadillac said that it will offer AC charging up to 19 kw, which could potentially offer home charging in just a few hours. ![]() With 150-kw DC fast charging already announced, expect its road-trip times to be about on par with the Ford Mustang Mach-E-in the vicinity of 30 minutes for an 80% charge. On a follow-up Hogan said that “our objective will be to do everything we can with range,” but he emphasized that it’s still in the development phase of the program. It will have a very low center of gravity, due to the flat battery pack, and it will have a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution in dual-motor all-wheel-drive form, GM confirmed, which suggests the weight distribution will be somewhat rear-biased in rear-wheel-drive versions.Ĭadillac hasn’t yet disclosed performance specifications or the specific battery capacity of the pack used in the Lyriq, but it says that it will offer “beyond 300 miles” of EPA range and approximately 100 kwh. Hogan also said that the Lyriq will leverage the advantages of an electric-vehicle layout for ride and handling “more than anything before” from the automaker. ![]() Hogan confirmed that in the unibody layout for GM’s BEV3 architecture and Ultium propulsion strategy, the battery will be a structural element of the vehicle, helping enhance crash protection, body stiffness, and everything that’s associated with that-like ride and handling characteristics. General Motors' BEV3 platform and Ultium batteries Although it will be built on the unibody layout for GM’s BEV architecture and Ultium propulsion strategy-likely with new LG Chem large-format cells sourced from a joint-venture Ohio plant-chief engineer Marty Hogan emphasized that the project takes advantage of “everything we’ve learned from Bolt and Volt and all of our previous EV programs.” GM also disclosed a number of details about the production-bound vehicle, which remains more than two years away. The brand confirmed that the vehicle revealed reflects about 80% to 85% of the final production vehicle. Cadillac called the Lyriq a "show car" something closer to production than a concept car, but not quite a prototype. Cadillac hasn’t yet confirmed where it will be built, and it has stepped back from previous remarks that it might go on sale earlier in 2022 for China.įundamentally, the Lyriq is a further development based on the renderings that Cadillac showed in January 2019 at the Detroit auto show. With the reveal, GM confirmed a late calendar year 2022 introduction to the U.S.
