[8][9][10] At the 2019 North American International Auto Show, CEO Mary Barra presented several details about the group's upcoming series of EVs,[11] which included a crossover from Cadillac.

This will be done until GM and LG Chem expand Spring Hill to accommodate Ultium battery production for both domestic use and exports to Mexico.

[18] The Lyriq was first delivered to American dealerships in the highest demand markets of New York, Los Angeles, and Detroit in the first week of July 2022.

Additionally, a new $1200 optional OTA update for dual motor models, called the Velocity Package, increases the torque output and allows for a reduction in 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) times from 4.7 to 4.4 seconds.

It is a unibody chassis with a skateboard style powertrain, where the battery is a flat shape that sits underneath the floor of the vehicle.

All models have five-link multilink suspension paired with passively frequency sensitive hydraulic dampers on both the front and rear axles.

[29] The Lyriq-V increases the power of the dual-motor, all-wheel drive Lyriq, with a peak output of 615 hp (459 kW; 624 PS) and 650 lb⋅ft (881 N⋅m) torque.

[25] This output can only be achieved in a driver-selected "Velocity Max" mode, which Cadillac claims can accelerate the Lyriq to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds.
