Cadillac Lyriq

New info on the Lyriq. No price yet.

The Lyriq will make its street debut in 2023 and serve as the first platform for GM’s “Ultium” scalable battery system which can provide anywhere from 50KwH to 200 KwH of power. This is the same architecture that will reportedly be utilized by the Hummer as well as the as-of-yet unnamed electric pickup, and is expected to deliver around 400 miles of travel on a single charge. The Ultium uses a novel NCMA (nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum) chemistry, enabling GM to cut back on its cobalt use (which is super, duper toxic) by a whopping 70 percent compared to its current generation of batteries.

For the Lyric itself, Cadillac is dropping in a 100KwH pack that will offer a range of around 300 miles. It can recharge using Level 1, Level 2 AC technology or DC Fast Charging stations. As for drivetrain options, the Lyriq will be available as RWD standard with an AWD option.

The Lyriq may be Cadillac’s first EV model but it will soon have plenty of company. Cadillac hopes to have nearly two dozen electrified models available by 2023. They’ll compete with the likes of the Jaguar I-Pace, the Audi E-Tron, and Tesla Model X in the luxury automotive market. There’s no word yet on what the Lyriq will cost.

300 miles out of 100kwh..... and only 150kw charging. And this will take 2 more years to get this “technology”.... Sad

1. It won’t look like that inside and out when it comes out.

2. 300 miles is today’s range. It will be old by then. Tesla does this range on 75kw packs

Yeah, shows how far behind Cadillac is. Maybe they should just buy the batteries from Tesla?

GM hyped up this Ultium battery talking about how much more advanced it is than Tesla’s batteries. Of course it doesn’t exist yet and the factory to build them just broke ground last month. Tesla is of course having “battery day” next month and will lay out their future batteries (speculation is they are already making them, see project roadrunner).

Imagine what happens if Musk finds rare metals on an asteroid or Mars. He will own the world. He'll make Bezos look like a piker. Last I heard, GM doesn't have any rockets.
