The upcoming Cadillac Lyriq will change the future of EV. Its stylish design, notable Cadillac comfort, and innovation to impress will make the switch to an electric crossover a no-brainer. As Cadillac's first all-electric vehicle, the Lyriq is made to connect "heart to mind, body to soul, and human to machine."
What Is the Cadillac Lyriq?
The Lyriq is the upcoming electric crossover to be released by Cadillac. With more than a century of innovation, the Lyriq is a new bright chapter to Cadillac's journey. Talk of this electric SUV was revealed in 2019, and with much planning, the anticipated release date inches closer. The Cadillac Lyriq represents the first of the automaker's plans for a full portfolio of luxury electric vehicles. The Lyriq is the picture of quality craftsmanship merged with modernization.
Top Performance Highlights of the Cadillac Lyriq
Continuing with Cadillac's commitment to performance, the all-electric SUV will not disappoint. The new modular EV platform on the Lyriq is the foundation of its fun-to-drive and responsive performance. The Lyriq will come standard in rear-wheel-drive with an electric motor on the rear axle, which allows more torque to hit the pavement. An optional all-wheel-drive upgrade will add a second motor at the front for increased turning flexibility.
The Lyriq will feature the Ultium battery system for an optimized driving experience with dedicated EV architecture that does not require the need to adapt to traditional internal combustion engine architecture. The design and placement of the battery system will contribute to increased safety for a more enjoyable ride and better handling.
The Ultium battery offers approximately 100 kilowatt-hours of energy for driving range capabilities of over 300 miles, according to Car and Driver. The new EV battery technology will allow for quick and convenient charging options. Cadillac states that with the standard DC fast charging option, the Lyriq can charge at rates over 150 kW.
Lyriq Is Packed With Technology to Impress
The electric crossover will be designed with the latest technologies to meet the needs and desires of the modern driver and passengers. The SUV will offer recognition of the driver upon approach and prep the cabin for their customized specifications for a pleasant journey. For an even more rewarding experience, the Lyriq features Cadillac's highest level of driver information, infotainment, and integrations.
The new augmented reality head-up display features the highest pixel density available in the automotive industry today to provide an in-vehicle experience unlike anything seen before. Cadillac's exclusive AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system offers an unbelievable audio experience while the new road noise cancellation technology in the Lyriq will allow for a peaceful ride. The Lyriq will feature Cadillac's hands-free driver-assistance, Super Cruise, for drivers to enjoy a simplistic journey.
When Can I Buy a Lyriq?
With the debut of the Lyriq in August, those in the market for an electric SUV may be anxious to take it for a test drive. Unfortunately, it will be a few more years before the new Cadillac Lyriq makes its splash in the luxury EV market. According to The Verge, Cadillac says the Lyriq, "won't go into production until "late 2022", with production starting first in China and then in the US."
