A new rival for Tesla has emerged: when the Cadillac Lyriq launches

GM’s first 2023 Cadillac Lyriq EV crossover has gone off production in Tennessee.

Cadillac could build nearly 200,000 Lyriq electric crossovers annually, depending on customer demand, executives said, before the first Lyriq went off the production line at the Spring Hill Assembly.

Lyric is Cadillac’s first EV vehicle and the first passenger vehicle to use GM’s Ultium platform beyond the Hummer EV. It will not be as muscular as the Hummer, with its engine system estimated at 340 hp, but it is expected to have a range of over 480 kilometers and a fast charge of 190 kW at compatible stations.

The model will also be loaded with technology, including a 33-inch OLED screen and Super Cruise hands-free driving on the highway.

Lyriq is not really the next generation of GM mainstream electric vehicles.

General Motors continues to innovate

“The Cadillac Lyriq sets the standard for the future of Cadillac and marks another major milestone in GM’s commitment to a fully electric future,” Reuss said in a statement.

GM’s luxury brand has 240,000 hand-raisers for Lyriq, Harvey said. Cadillac defines a hand-raiser as a consumer who shows interest in the medium-sized crossover. Cadillac did not disclose the number of bookings for Lyriq.

In 2020, GM said it would invest $ 2 billion in the Spring Hill plant. The carmaker, along with its battery partner LG Energy Solution, is investing $ 2.3 billion to build a nearby Ultium battery cell factory.

The battery plant is scheduled to open in 2023.

The Spring Hill production complex is the largest GM unit in North America, consisting of a vehicle assembly plant, a metal stamping plant and an engine plant. It has built over 4.5 million vehicles since its opening in 1990.
