The Cadillac Lyriq EV is slated to become the luxury brand’s first all-electric vehicle, scheduled to make its online debut in concept form on August 6th. So far, Cadillac has provided a few teaser images of the new Lyriq, and we’ve even drawn up our own digital rendering based on the intel collected thus far. Now, we have a clean shot of the crossover’s rear end thanks to an image of the upcoming Lyriq’s instrument panel.
Cadillac Lyriq teaser
The image shows the Cadillac Lyriq traveling down the road below a speedometer and range indicator, as well as navigation directions. The all-electric crossover also has a circle around it with the word “Active” directly below it, indicating the activation of digital driver assist systems.
Most importantly, the image shows the Cadillac Lyriq’s rear end completely undisguised. The roof is done in black, while the lower body panels are silver. The tail lamps stretch down from the roof into the rear pillars, angling back into the crossover’s hatch to form a single unbroken styling line. Vertical rear lighting can be found in the bumper corners.
We also notice the rear tires are quite wide, filling the pumped-up rear fenders with ease. The sideview mirrors are slim, and a trailing-edge roof spoiler is attached to the top of the rear hatch. There’s also a prominent lower valence section. Finally, a Cadillac crest is found underneath the rear glass.
As we’ve covered before, the Cadillac Lyriq will come with a front end reminiscent of the initial sketch for the Lyriq that GM released at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The profile will adopt a long, almost shooting brake-like shape.
GM Authority rendering
The Cadillac Lyriq will be built on the new BEV3 electric platform and will be roughly the same size as the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6. The standard model is expected to offer RWD, while AWD will be offered. The crossover will be powered by GM’s new Ultium battery technology, with an estimated range up to 400 miles or more on a full charge. Production will take place at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant.

i hope the rear/profile doesn’t look anything like that rendering. it looks like a dodge caliber.
One has to wonder whether Cadillac will stick with Lyriq for a name as naming the new electric vehicle as the XT6-E was too much to ask.
the name Lyric is terrible, I wonder who came up with that awful name
Turn up the contrast on that lyriq teaser image, and i feel like there is enough visuals there to make up a 90% accurate rendering.
Just a couple more weeks until we see the real thing!
The Hummer is getting all the press on GM upcoming EV’s lately (and understandably so, considering it’s the rebirth of a famous brand), and the Celestiq probably even has the most buzz for Cadillac, but I think this Lyriq is being criminally overlooked. Also, look at the width of those tires…and it’s RWD, too. Exactly what we’ve been begging for.
Something makes me think this will be that massive hit that comes out of nowhere and maybe even begins a renaissance era at Cadillac…but I can’t put my finger on why.
“the roof is done in black,”
Look closer, that’s a glass roof.
Interesting if that is some sort of solar power as well!
I say it’s a pano roof, full glass top.
I might not buy one!
I bet you cannot afford it.
“…and will be roughly the same size as the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6.”
How can it be even roughly the same size as 2 different vehicles with a difference in length of nearly 10 inches?
Aside from this, I think the image is very interesting and I’m looking forward to the 6th.
As in it will be somewhere between the XT5 and XT6
I thought it initially looked ugly but it quickly grew on me. i’m not saying its nice, but i’m not saying its all that ugly either
One day GM will learn how to do a Cadillac back end – by then though I will be dead.
Maybe so. Do you wear a mask in public?
Can you not admit that the design in the back looks nothing like a Cadillac. It looks like a damn Honda hybrid in the back with those taillights and random reflector on the bottom sides. What happened to the long vertical taillights there have been doing since the brand existed.
Can you wait till the reveal to judge? Looking at the example of the rear of the vehicle on a high resolution of the instrument display tells a lot about your character.
I wonder too if the image is that of the production Lyriq or the concept.
I do like the “exhaust” ports in the lower corners of the facia, below the vertical lamps. A nod to the post war era.
I bet its a production version. I doubt they would have drawn a concept car’s image in a production infotainment system. And I have no doubt that this screen and its multimedia is a production version.
Who’s Putler?
Really?
Volodia Putin aka Putler. blyat lmfao
Trump does everything that Volodia Putler wants.
Based on the rear stance, this looks like a corner carver. Liking the image so far.
Looking back and forth between the “Introducing Cadillac Lyriq” photo and the dashboard image, it would appear that the horizontal tail-light line might wrap around the side of the car, and curl up behind the back door (yet still visible from behind). If so, that would be a unique styling signature to set it apart from the crowd. I don’t see it in the rendering of the black car photo, but zoom in on the other photo, there’s clearly a hockey stick in that rear side panel.
No one else think the back looks like a 2014 Honda Insight Especially with the half triangle and black shinny plastic inserts??
I have seen the Honda Insight up close and it is NOT anywhere like this image. You are imagining things.
Honda civic designers are now working at Cadillac.
At least they have a job. Present Honda designers now throw a block of soft clay at a wall and use whatever that looks like to make a car!
the name Lyric is terrible, I wonder who came up with that awful name
Someone acknowledging that Cadillac is the most spoken name in songs and they are naming a car to represent that? HMMM?
Lyriq rhymes with lyrics, doesn’t it?
mhmm
