After confirming the high interest that the all-new Cadillac Lyriq has generated in the United States, General Motors has just announced that it will introduce the production version of Cadillac‘s all-electric crossover next week in China. The automaker is planning a special event on November 17th to reveal the final specifications and begin being taking reservations of the Cadillac Lyriq in the Chinese market.
The official introduction of the all-new Cadillac Lyriq in China will take place on Wednesday of next week through a public online broadcast, where the series production model will be shown for the first time in the Asian country, and its reservation price will be announced. At the end of September, GM had already announced that it would begin accepting reservations for the Cadillac Lyriq in the country this year.
As such, the launch broadcast of the all-new Cadillac Lyriq in China will serve as a prelude to its live local debut at the 2021 Guangzhou International Motor Show, which runs from November 19th to the 28th. The Cadillac Lyriq show car debuted in that country during the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year, where it was the first time the crossover was shown directly to the general public.
Although the presentation and reservation period of the all-new Cadillac Lyriq in the Asian country occurs several months later than in the United States and Canada, the brand’s first electric crossover is expected to officially go on sale in China early next year, shortly before its arrival in American dealerships. Units of the new Lyriq for the Chinese market will be manufactured at the Cadillac Jinqiao plant.
Notably, the all-new Cadillac Lyriq is the first fully electric vehicle based on the Ultium EV platform that the SAIC-GM joint venture is preparing for the Chinese market. The Lyriq was designed to revolutionize Cadillac’s model offering as the pioneer in the brand’s electric age, which represents a real opportunity to increase its level of competitiveness and close the gap with established competition in the luxury-car market.
The all-new Cadillac Lyriq will be introduced and will begin its reservation period simultaneously next week in China, which is the American brand’s main volume market since 2017. The first deliveries to customers and the official arrival at dealerships in the Chinese market is scheduled for the first two months of 2022, seeking to capitalize on the high local demand for electric cars.

If AMC were alive today Eagle or Concord would look like Lyriq! Maybe not as luxurious but same profile.
You are not too far off – good eye.
The chinamen will love it!
Plain ignorant racism embrace change for the good
I can’t wait to hot wire one of these honeys I can already tell I’ll have a good time in this thing.
Lol Antney hot wire lol lol current will kill ya
I’m a Cadillac fan and owner. I don’t want an EV or suv. The front looks like a Wurlitzer. With the chip squeeze on CT5’s, that I bet evaporates at the same time of the EV switchover, I may be driving my XTS for a long time, or looking elsewhere.
Yo Joey book and owner wow showing your age with Wurlitzer and how in tune hip you are with chip squeeze and evaporates, switch over sounds like something something you heard. Lol
Wurlitzer is good!
This helps to make that front easily recognisable among all other cars.
Keep them CCP Communists, that are eating our lunch & have Biden on a leash, right up to speed with the latest & greatest in American Technology!! With clueless globalist woke Queen MaryB at the helm, the Communist Party over there doesn’t even have to steal this Engineering.
MagicMike why so mean ? Does the sac bulge when the racism comes out?
Hey, Mossman! Worried of change? Get some consolation from Bob Dylan who sung already in 1964 that “The times they are a-changing”. One stance from his lyrics:
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’
1945, USA tried to take over China and control this vast market. But the Chinese conquered China themselves. “Who lost China?” howled the war mongers in Washington.
Change is the only constant element in history.
Nothing ever stays the same, even when you are dead, your body changes in decay.
»China, which is the American brand’s main volume market since 2017«
In plain text: more Cadillac are sold in China than in USA.
This corresponds to the total size of the automobile markets of both countries:
2017 in USA: 17.241.387
2017 in China: 27,562,708
No wonder when looking at the population of the two countries:
USA: 333 Million
China: 1,411 Million
China has 4.237 times as much people than USA

Looking forward to the day when the CCP makes a colossal misjudgement on the current globalist or die culture & WEAKNESS in America & launches their hypersonic rockets w nuke tips at Tiawan and/or the West coast followed by landing 3 Chinese Military Divisions in Tiawan and/or California. Who will defend the homeland & who will wave the white flag and will the world survive? We know the current American Communists will join the invasion. Millions of indoctrinated sheeple will be surrendering en-mass. YOU “woke supremacists” don’t think that scenario is being discussed in the CCP war rooms??? Get your one world happily ever after fantasy craniums of mush outta your a$$es & quit giving away OUR latest & greatest Engineering & Tech for the almighty “profit”. Are you listening Queen maryb???
