The optional Super Cruise Level 2 autopilot is available.
At launch, the Lyriq will be equipped with a 346-horsepower electric motor on the rear axle and a 100-kilowatt-hour battery.
The electric car travels 483 kilometers without recharging and supports 190 kilowatts of peak power charging, allowing it to top up for an additional 122 kilometers of driving in 10 minutes.
Car and Driver shared information about the all-wheel-drive twin-engine Lyriq, which will go on sale later.
The publication citing the representation Cadillac reported that the novelty will be offered with an installation capacity of about 500 horsepower, with the price tag of this modification will be lower than the two-engine competitors. The Lyriq AWD will get the same 100-kilowatt-hour battery as the RWD version, and the range will be less than that of the mono-drive SUV.
The Cadillac Lyriq rolled onto the assembly line at General Motors’ plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, in March of this year.
The Debut Edition will run only 1,500 units, and the company will produce about 25,000 electric cars by the end of 2022.
