Cadillac enjoyed two years of increasing sales pre-pandemic, but MotorTrend hasn't exactly been singing the praises of its heart-of-market XT4, XT5, and XT6 crossover vehicles. The brand hopes to change our tune with the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq (like the song), by giving it dramatic proportions and a brand new face, plus Tesla-esque electric performance, range, and technology.

Technically, the "show car" you're seeing here is a concept, but Cadillac assures us it's 80-85 percent production-ready. With the 2023 model year two years away, you can expect the final production Lyriq to look very similar with only some small details changing significantly.

Ultium Electric Architecture
Cadillac claims that by the end of this decade, almost all of its cars will be electric. This initiative will be spearheaded by the Lyriq, which will follow the 2022 GMC Hummer EV to market by a matter of months on the same new Ultium dedicated EV architecture that will eventually underpin the hand-built flagship Celestiq and other Cadillac models.

The platform will feature rear-wheel or performance all-wheel drive, powered by an under-floor structural battery featuring relatively novel nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum chemistry that supports 150-kW DC Fast charging and 19-kW Level 2 home charging. The batteries boast aluminum-intensive cathodes, which reduce the amount of precious, rare-earth (and sometimes ethically problematic) cobalt required by more than 70 percent compared to current GM battery technology. Large, flat, pouch-style cells will be ganged in "smart modules" that incorporate the control electronics, reducing complexity and simplifying cooling. Cadillac claims battery pack wiring is thereby reduced by 90 percent.

How Far Will It Go?

So far, Cadillac is only claiming "more than 300 miles." Officials add that whatever the big number is for the rear-drive model, expect to subtract 20-30 miles for the performance AWD version.

Novel Charging Option
It would be foolish to propose a new electric vehicle that was not capable of 150-kW DC Fast charging, so naturally the Lyriq is so equipped. But it's also designed to accept Level 2 charging at rates up to 19 kW—about double the 7-11 kW that typical home chargers deliver today. Of course, wiring a charger capable of handling that much juice will require a circuit good for 80-100 amps, which might prove to be a stretch for most existing homes. New mansion and condo/apartment construction can probably incorporate it, however, and workplaces could upgrade their parking lot charger network if the technology proves popular with its executives.

How Will Lyriq Perform?
The Lyriq concept that we are seeing is about two years out from production, so Cadillac isn't ready to share power and torque figures, weight estimates, or many other specific details. We do know that what we are seeing is 80-85 percent production intent, that its center of gravity is expected to be 100 mm (3.9 inches) lower than the XT5's, and that its front/rear weight distribution will be very close to 50/50. This will surely help deliver the same impressive flat cornering and pitch-free acceleration and braking we love on most other battery-in-floor performance EVs. The standard rear-drive and performance AWD models will both deliver rear-biased accelerative traction and driving dynamics, no doubt assisted by fast-acting magnetic ride control shocks.
