Cadillac Lyriq electric car to surprisingly start at less than $60,000 – Electrek

After unveiling the Cadillac Lyriq, GM’s first next-gen electrical car, final week, the automaker has now confirmed that the electrical SUV goes to begin at lower than $60,000.

That’s a surprisingly low worth for the premium SUV.

Final week, GM unveiled the Cadillac Lyriq electrical SUV, the primary electrical car utilizing GM’s Ultium platform.

It hit numerous the marks to make the EV group completely happy: nice design, 300 miles of vary, 150 kW quick charging, and extra. The principle concern was the value, which GM didn’t announce on the time.

Steve Carlisle, president of Normal Motors North America, confirmed that the Cadillac Lyriq will begin at lower than $60,000.

The chief stated on the JP Morgan Auto Convention (by way of Automotive Information):

We should be in the identical worth zone. This automobile will should be priced just like how the trade costs midsize lux SUVs in the present day, possibly a slight premium on the outset. It’s a worth that gained’t be excessive 5 digits. It gained’t begin with a seven and it gained’t begin with a six.

It will make the electrical car just a bit costlier than the Cadillac XT5. GM plans to deliver the Cadillac Lyriq to market in 2022.

Electrek’s Take

I believe that that is most likely an excellent shock for most individuals.

After the disclosing, it appeared like most individuals had been anticipating a worth of over $70,000, but it surely now appears like it is going to be nearer to $50,000, making it aggressive with the present variations of the Mannequin Y, which begins at $50,000.

With that worth, I believe it might be succesful.

Now its predominant challenge is that it’s popping out in 2022. I believe it might be successful proper now available on the market, however two years from now, the market may have already advanced. The EV area is shifting so quick proper now.
