The all-new Cadillac Lyriq luxury crossover is stuffed with cutting-edge technology, including in the cabin, where passengers will enjoy sharp digital graphics powered by Altia human-machine interface (HMI) development solutions.
“Altia enables ultimate creativity through their unique HMI development strategy – supporting extensive configurability of cockpit displays, including the one found in Lyriq,” said Creative Director, GM User Interface Design, Scott Martin. “Altia provides a straightforward workflow that accommodates a wide variety of graphics assets – including real-time 3D. With Altia, we can design distinctive and cohesive displays and get truly innovative products to market quickly.”
Altia’s HMI development software help design the interfaces of more than 100 million vehicles around the world, and now, it will be used for the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq as well. Inside the cabin, the Lyriq features a large 33-inch LED display, which provides readouts for the instrumentation and infotainment, as well as various onboard controls. The display can produce over a billion colors, and can be divided into three unique areas for content coordination and other specialized purposes.
The Cadillac Lyriq will also utilize the Unreal Engine for some of the infotainment visualization features. The latest version, Unreal Engine 4, is used for popular video games like Fortnite, while the fifth-generation software is expected to arrive later this year.
The Cadillac Lyriq is the luxury marque’s first all-electric model. Under the skin, the Lyriq rides on the BEV3 platform, while GM’s Ultium battery technology is used for motivation.
The all-new Cadillac Lyriq is slated to go on sale in the first quarter of 2022, nine months ahead of schedule, as GM Authority covered previously. The new battery-driven luxury crossover will roll off the line at GM’s Spring Hill Plant production facility in Tennessee. Pricing starts at $59,990 for the U.S. market, with reservations opening in September of this year.

Human-machine interface. You mean knobs, levers, buttons; that sort of thing?
that sort of thing, and more, especially software
Think about Windows, the human-machine interface of “personal computers” of the IBM-PC legacy.
Politicians are ready for All Electric Cars. I am not sure the the average Jane or Joe is?????????????????????????
A 500 mile trip is not practical when you must “refuel”!
Most people and cars can’t drive 500 miles straight through. That’s almost 8 hours of driving at 70mph.
I don’t know about that! I just drove from San Antonio to Bozeman Montana in 2 days. And yes it hurt, so i gave myself a break and allowed 3 days for the return trip. Not bad for a 75 year old man. And that was in my 2020 Ram Laramie Longhorn. Now i am waiting to get my hands on the Lyriq.
It will probably have about 220-250 miles range on a road trip and can charge to 80% in less than 30 minutes. Just plan a stop to charge and grab something to eat.
Electric cars have not reached the “tipping point” yet, but they are getting closer. Range Anxiety is a consideration, but a 30 minute to an hour charging time every 150 miles or so to get you to the next charging station, is just not there yet!
Right, keep taping everyone else because you manufacture nothing, your and assembler. The demise of America, totally dependent, not independent.
