According to Cadillac officials, the LYRIQ is the first Cadillac model based on Ultium, and its appearance will set the standard for Cadillac's future development. The car will be produced together with traditional fuel models such as cadillac XT5 and XT6, but with the gradual advancement of electrification, the proportion of new energy vehicle production will be gradually increased in the future.
Mark Reuss, president of GM, said: "Cadillac LYRIQ sets the standard for Cadillac's future and is another important milestone in GM's commitment to all-electric mobility. It was an immortal day for the entire GM team. We re-equipped the Springfield plant with the best and most advanced technology in the world, and thanks to the tireless work of the team, the car was put into production nine months earlier than originally planned. ”
Mark Royce said the first deliveries of the car will kick off in the first half of the year, while a new wave of bookings for the car will open on May 19. The car's first reservations were sold out within 10 minutes of the opening of the booking, which also reflects the very good market prospects of Cadillac LYRIQ. According to Rory Harvey, vice president of Cadillac, the number of people interested in Cadillac LYRIQ is quite large, with about 240,000 consumers showing interest in the electric SUV.
