New EV reveals styling, technology, and a platform for future models
The Cadillac Lyriq showcases next-generation styling for the brand and introduces a new modular electric platform. It looks like a long, low SUV or a wagon. Although initially offered as a rear-wheel drive (RWD) only, all-wheel drive (AWD) delivery will start in early 2023. It will compete with the Audi E-Tron, BMW iX, Jaguar I-Pace, and Tesla Model X. Pricing is $62,990 for the RWD, and $64,990 for the AWD.
Production started at the Spring Hill, Tenn., facility. GM has pledged a $2 billion investment in that factory to support electric vehicle production. In addition, the company is spending $2.3 billion on a new battery manufacturing plant in the same town, as part of a joint effort with LG Energy Solution.
Here's what we know so far about the brand’s first electric-only car.
