Recently Cadillac invited a team of auto reporters for a special Lyriq specs presentation and gave them a chance to get up close and personal with the “production-spec” Lyriq EV.

In April 2021 Cadillac unveiled its 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ EV and became then clear that the automaker was banking on the all-new SUV's success.

Here are the most important specs of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, but you can find more details watching the video. The Lyriq EV, Cadillac's first all-electric SUV has an estimated 300 miles of range and starts at $59,990.

Initial models of Lyriq will be available in rear-wheel drive configurations, with an all-wheel drive version coming soon after.

Mashable in its presentation comments and writes that While the Lyriq is an SUV, it looks nothing like other members of the Cadillac SUV family, including the Escalade and XT5. Compared to its well-known cousins, the Lyriq is long and squat. It reminded me of my schnoodle, who has short legs and a long body. When asked why Cadillac went for a low-to-the-ground versus towering-over-traffic look of many SUVs, Smith was quick to respond.

"Because it looks awesome," he quipped. He added the Lyriq's design was a good place for Cadillac to start with its electric SUVs. If it wants to do a variant with a high, commanding chair in the future, it can, he added.

Cadillac’s Super Cruise is available on the Lyriq, with some improvements over its current functionality on the Bolt EUV.

“Thanks to the modular and highly flexible Ultium Platform that powers LYRIQ, along with advanced virtual development tools, Cadillac has been able to accelerate development and put more real-world miles on prototypes sooner than expected,” said Jamie Brewer, LYRIQ chief engineer, during Lyriq's April 2021 presentation. “It’s exciting to see our objectives realized on the road — and it means we are on track to bring this pioneering electric luxury vehicle to customers nine months earlier than originally planned.”

In recent years, General Motors has used Cadillac showcase its latest technology. Likewise, Cadillac intends to use LYRIQ to highlight its all-electric future. Cadillac estimates that the new SUV will have the equivalent of 340 horsepower and an estimated range of over 300 miles.
