Recently, General Motors announced that cadillac LYRIQ has now rolled off the production line at its Spring Hill, Tennessee plant. As Cadillac's first pure electric vehicle, the new car is based on the universal Ultium platform. At present, pre-sales have been opened in China, with a pre-sale price of 439,700 yuan, which is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of this year.
GM initially said it wouldn't start production until the end of 2022, and the early start of production means that GM wants to seize the emerging segment of pure electric SUVs as soon as possible.
Mark Reuss, president of General Motors, said that whether in terms of product design or engineering, LYRIQ will lead Cadillac back to the ranks of first-class luxury cars and re-recognize American luxury brands.
Unlike first-line luxury brands such as BBA to test the electric market through "oil to electricity" products, Cadillac's first electric vehicle is based on the general pure electric platform, and the new car adopts a very sci-fi design language in appearance, which also hints at the design direction of electrified new cars under the brand.
The new LYRIQ is positioned as a medium to large SUV with body dimensions of 5003mm/1978mm/1635mm and a wheelbase of 3094mm.
In terms of interior, the 33-inch ring curtain super retina screen is the biggest highlight of the car, and it also has a huge dome of 1.83 square meters.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Cadillac LYRIQ will use the new Super Cruise Super Assisted Driving System.
In terms of power, the maximum power of the new car motor is 255KW (347Ps), the maximum torque reaches 440N·m, it has a battery capacity of 95.7KWh, and the cruising range is 650 kilometers. In the case of fast charging, it takes about 40 minutes to reach 80% of the power.
In November 2021, Cadillac LYRIQ officially opened pre-sale in China, and in order to cooperate with the rapid listing of LYRIQ, the first Aoteneng Gigafactory was put into operation in Jinqiao, Shanghai in October last year.
