Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV promises drama, 300+ mile range, and a long wait

Cadillac has officially revealed its all-electric crossover, the Cadillac Lyriq, first of GM’s family to use the Ultium EV drivetrain. Described as a “show car” – and as such not quite the vehicle that will end up in Cadillac dealerships – the Lyriq promises more than 300 miles of range along with a futuristic vision of the cabin that features a huge display and augmented reality.

It’s been some time coming, certainly. Cadillac initially intended to debut the Lyriq earlier this year, but global pressures forced a postponement of the EV’s reveal.

What we see now is a sleek electric luxury crossover which emphasizes the flexibility in the Ultium platform. There’ll be rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants, Cadillac says, and up to 150 kW DC fast charging support. Even on a Level 2 charger, you’ll get up to 19 kW, the automaker promises.
