The Lyriq measures 196.7 inches (4996 mm) long, 77.8 inches (1977 mm) wide and 63.9 inches (1623 mm) tall with a wheelbase that spans 121.8 inches (3094 mm). This means it’s 1.8 inches (46 mm) shorter than the XT6, but offers a 9.1 inch (231 mm) longer wheelbase.
Drivers sit behind an all-new steering wheel and find themselves looking at a freestanding display which spans 33-inches (838 mm). Unlike in the Escalade, this display appears continuous and Cadillac noted it can show over one billion colors.
Besides featuring an upscale design, the cabin is spacious as there’s 39.6 inches (1006 mm) of rear seat legroom. The model also has a cargo capacity of 28 cubic feet (793 liters), but that can be expanded to 60.8 cubic feet (1723 liters) by folding the rear seats down
At launch, the Lyriq will feature a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a rear-mounted electric motor that produces an estimated 340 hp (254 kW / 345 PS) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) of torque. Cadillac didn’t say how fast the crossover will be, but noted it should be able to travel more than 300 miles (483 km) on a single charge.
When it comes time to recharge, owners will be thankful for the Lyriq’s 190 kW DC fast charging capability. It enables the crossover to get up to 76 miles (122 km) of range in 10 minutes and up to 195 miles (314 km) in 30 minutes.
However, most charging is done at home and this is where a 19.2 kW charging module shines as it can deliver up to 52 miles (84 km) of range per hour. Owners can also use a 11.5 kW charger and this delivers approximately 31 miles (50 km) of range per hour. With a 120V outlet, that drops to 3.5 miles (5.6 km) per hour.
While the Lyriq will be rear-wheel drive only at launch, Cadillac officials confirmed additional variants are on the horizon. They didn’t go into specifics, but said we can expect all-wheel drive and all-wheel drive performance models in the future.
Speaking of performance, the Lyriq will offer one-pedal driving as well as variable Regen on Demand technology. The latter allows drivers to use a pressure-sensitive paddle on the steering wheel to control how quickly the vehicle slows down or comes to a stop. The model will also be offered with the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system, which allows for hands-free operation on more than 200,000 miles (321,869 km) of roadway in the United States and Canada.
Cadillac will begin accepting reservations in September and pricing will begin at $59,990. The Lyriq will be built in Spring Hill, Tennessee and deliveries are slated to begin in the first half of 2022.
It will be followed by an assortment of other electric vehicles as Cadillac is set to phase out internal combustion engines by 2030. While a number of people will be sad to see them go, Cadillac’s next EV will be the Celestiq and it’s certainly something to look forward too.
