Cadillac will introduce Lyriq electric car

In the history of production, Lyriq will be the first model in the electric vehicle family. She is promised to be presented to the public in August this year.

The model was already ready for display in April 20th, but because of the global pandemic, all mass events were postponed for an indefinite period. The show will be organized as part of a remote presentation on 06.08.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX. The official data on the filling of the Cadillac Lyriq is still kept secret. The only thing known is that the GM platform for electric vehicles will be used for the production of cars.

A feature of this platform is the ability to install various power units and all kinds of equipment on the machine’s chassis, including changing the parameters of the chassis without changing the production line — drive (front, rear), suspension. Also, this platform allows you to install batteries of different capacities on the vehicle (the manufacturer has 19 options).

It is likely that the company may use Ultium batteries. Their feature is the possibility of vertical or horizontal arrangement. These elements have a maximum capacity of 200 kW / h, power - up to 800 volts, and also allow you to use fast charging up to 350 kW.

On the updated GM platform, the latest generation Chevrolet Volt will also be produced, as well as the new GMC Hummer.
