The Cadillac Lyriq is an electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by the Cadillac subdivision of General Motors.[4] As Cadillac's first fully electric vehicle, and the first GM production vehicle using the BEV3 platform, the Lyriq introduces a new version of GM's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system.[5]
Assembled at Spring Hill Manufacturing in Spring Hill, Tennessee for North America and at a new EV-only plant in Yantai, China for Asia, Cadillac started accepting customer orders for the 2023 Lyriq in the United States in May 2022.[6][7]
History
At the 2019 North American International Auto Show, CEO Mary Barra presented several details about the group's upcoming series of EVs,[8] which included a crossover from Cadillac.[9] The name Lyriq follows a pattern of several prior Cadillac concept vehicles, including the Evoq, Provoq, and Celestiq, all ending in "q".[10]
Cadillac originally planned for a United States -market presentation of the Lyriq (as a "show car" or concept car) on April 2, 2020, followed by a launch soon thereafter for the 2021 model year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[11] it was postponed to August 6.[12] Production of the Lyriq was also delayed to early 2022.[13][14] Chinese and Asian market production at a new plant at Shanghai GM's Yantai complex built for Ultium will start slightly before Spring Hill starts Lyriq assembly for North America.[citation needed]
Following the public debut of the Lyriq show car at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the production version was presented on April 21, 2021.[7]
Batteries for both Yantai and Spring Hill production will be sourced from LG Chem, with Spring Hill initially getting pouch-type Ultium cells from an LG Chem plant in South Korea . This will be done until GM and LG Chem expand Spring Hill to accommodate Ultium battery production for both domestic use and exports to Mexico.[citation needed] According to Cadillac, all the interior components were newly designed for the Lyriq and no pre-existing GM parts were used.[15]
The Lyriq was first delivered to American dealerships in the highest demand markets of New York, Los Angeles, and Detroit in the first week of July 2022.[16] GM delivered a total of 122 Lyriqs to U.S. customers in 2022.[17]
On November 15, 2023, Cadillac confirmed it will launch the Lyriq in Australia in late 2024. [18]
Specifications
Powertrain
At debut, the Cadillac Lyriq is offered with a single motor driving the rear wheels.[7] All-wheel drive is expected to follow in 2023.[19] The single motor generates 340 hp (254 kW; 345 PS) and 325 lb⋅ft (441 N⋅m; 45 kg⋅m) torque, while the all-wheel drive, dual motor version has an estimated combined output of 500 hp (370 kW; 510 PS) and 450 lb⋅ft (610 N⋅m).[19]
It draws from a 100 kWh (360 MJ) battery with an estimated 300-mile (480 km) range. The battery supports Level 2 and DC fast charging.[20] As tested, the battery had slightly higher capacity (102 kWh) and over a 350 mi (560 km) winter road trip, average observed efficiency was 2.7 mi/kWh, or 93 mpg‑e.[19] Under the EPA driving cycle, the rated range is 312 mi (502 km) with a combined (city/highway) fuel consumption rating of 89 mpg‑e (39 kW⋅h/100 mi).[19][21][22] The maximum charging rate is 190 kW using a DC fast charger, or 19.2 kW using AC.[19]
