This is the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, a new electric SUV. [credit: Cadillac ]
On Wednesday, Cadillac formally revealed the production version of its next SUV. Called the Lyriq, when it goes on sale next year starting at $59,990, it will join the Hummer EV as part of General Motors' third wave of electric vehicles (after Chevrolet's experiments with the EV1 and Bolt EV).
If you think this vehicle looks familiar, you're right—in August 2020, Cadillac presented a show-car version of the Lyriq, and the production version has changed very little. But, at the time, Cadillac wasn't ready to talk technical specs. Now it is.
Propulsion to the rear wheels is provided by one of GM's Ultium Drive motors that will appear in more than 20 new EVs in the coming few years. That electric motor endows the Lyriq with 225 kW (340 hp) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft), which should mean the 2,545 kg (5,610 lb) SUV will be appropriately quick as opposed to face-meltingly fast.
