As soon as September 18th arrives, you’ll be able to reserve the advanced Cadillac Lyriq to call your own.
There are several moments in 2021 that will stand out for generations to come: the Friends Reunion on HBO, the container ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal, Brittany Spears fighting for the end of her conservatorship, and the release of the all-new Cadillac Lyriq.
Ok, the Lyriq may not officially be on the road in 2021, but Cadillac dealers around the country will start taking reservations for this innovative, fully electric SUV on September 18th, 2021: a date that will live in infamy.
The Rise of The Electric Vehicle (EV)
As more auto manufacturers are looking for ways to produce high-performance, stylish, and eco-friendly vehicles, it’s only natural that they explore fully electric options. In the past, EVs were tiny and couldn’t go very far without needing to be recharged. For many drivers, they were impractical and more of a novelty than anything else.
Those days are over. A number of auto producers have unlocked the secret to building EVs that can compete with their gas-powered counterparts. Cadillac decided to go all-in with the creation of the Lyriq.
So Much Power At Your Finger Tips
One of the benefits of a motor that runs entirely on electricity is that the power is available on command. That means all 340 horsepower can be summoned in an instant from the standard rear-axle electric motor. Of course, if you go with the all-wheel-drive option, that power will hit both axels simultaneously.
With the standard 10-kWh battery, you enjoy up to 300 miles of range on a single charge. You’ll also be able to hit 60 mph from a standstill in only 4.3 seconds. No other luxury SUV can boast this kind of speed.
Introducing Super Cruise
If you thought the only innovative part of the Cadillac Lyriq is the herculean powertrain, you’re in for a surprise. The Cadillac Lyriq will also introduce Cadillac’s new Super Cruise feature. You’ve heard of cruise control, and you may have even played with adaptive cruise control, but Super Cruise takes these kinds of features to an entirely new level.
What is Super Cruise? Well, it’s the first truly autonomous driving-assistance system to hit the road. When you’re on a compatible road, your Lyriq can take complete control of your journey. That means it can change lanes, keep a safe distance from the traffic to your front, and more. While this doesn’t mean you can take a nap on your next trip, it does mean you can relax and let Super Cruise take the wheel.
Get More From Your Interior
Cadillac continues its impressive upgrades with a completely fresh infotainment system. This electric-based architecture features a 33-inch curved LED display that contains both information about your drive and your entire infotainment system. It also allows for more room up front to give your legs a place to stretch.
You’ll be treated to a number of awesome features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and an available premium AKG sound system with 19 speakers.
The Future Is Here
There’s no need to daydream about the future. Act fast because there’s no way that this car will last.
