will start at $59,990<\/a> \u2014 though GM has yet to detail its trim levels and options. The Lyriq will launch in Debut Edition form, with a 100.4 kWh battery pack and rear-wheel drive. GM is targeting 300 miles of EPA-rated range, plus 340 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque. <\/p>\nThe Lyriq can charge at up to 190kW at public fast charging stations or up to 19.2kW at home (with the right equipment), which adds around 52 miles of range per hour. It will have Super Cruise, which is the hands-free driver assistance system that started at Cadillac but is now spreading to other GM vehicles. And it features a massive 33-inch display that stretches from the left of the driver all the way to the middle of the dashboard. There\u2019s an active noise cancellation system to dampen road noise, LED headlamps, and more.<\/p>\n
The Lyriq is also the first Cadillac to be built on GM\u2019s new flexible Ultium architecture, which is being used to power the automaker\u2019s next-generation lineup of EVs, including the Hummer EV. GM altered the chemistry of its Ultium battery cells to reduce dependency on cobalt. And the Lyriq\u2019s battery electronics will be incorporated directly into the modules, eliminating nearly 90 percent of the battery pack wiring as compared to GM\u2019s other EVs.<\/p>\n
Demand is strong for the Lyriq, with executives touting over 240,000 \u201chand-raisers\u201d for the electric crossover. Those customers did not have to put money down for a reservation but rather have just indicated an interest in a possible purchase. GM is anticipating a high number of those hand-raisers will convert to actual customers when the order bank opens on May 19th. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019re not going through reservations anymore,\u201d said Rory Harvey, vice president for global sales at Cadillac. \u201cWe\u2019re going straight to orders as of May the 19th.\u201d But Harvey cautioned that those customers likely won\u2019t see a Lyriq in their driveway until later this year or even 2023. <\/p>\n
When it starts reaching customers later this year, the Lyriq will find itself in competition with a host of new luxury EVs, including the BMW iX SUV, Volvo XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge, and Audi E-tron. Others are also scheduled to be available later this year, including the Mercedes-Benz EQE, Rivian R1S, and Maserati Grecale. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
