General Motors is making the pivot to all-electric vehicles, and that includes Cadillac, which has a range of fresh EV offerings coming down the pipe, starting with the all-new Cadillac Lyriq crossver. Now, GM Authority is wondering – what would a hypothetic all-electric Cadillac pickup look like? To answer that question, we drew up the following exclusive rendering image.
For those readers who may be unaware, the last production Cadillac pickup truck offered was the Escalade EXT. Officially classified a “Sport Utility Truck,” or SUT, the Cadillac EXT was essentially a full-size SUV with a rear bed section that was divided from the cabin with a unique Midgate panel. To note, the Midgate has made its return with the introduction of the 2023 Chevy Silverado EV, as GM Authority covered previously.
However, the Escalade EXT was discontinued following the 2013 model year (although we did recently draw up a modern rendition), which begs the question – what would a modern all-electric Cadillac pickup look like? Naturally, it should be mentioned that at present, there are no plans at GM to offer a new Cadillac pickup. Rather, this exclusive GM Authority rendering was done simply to see what such a model could look like.
With that covered, let’s check it out. To form the underlying structure of our rendering, we used the Chevy Silverado EV, which was then modified using the Cadillac Lyriq’s front fascia, a combination that looks pretty good on a large vehicle like this.
Further changes include new wheels, as well as a bright greenhouse treatment paired with a Cadillac crest on the vehicle C-pillar. This hypothetical Cadillac pickup model also sports revised tail lights with the signature Cadillac vertical layout and horizontal lighting accent, the latter of which connects with the the multi-position tailgate. Finally, the rear bumper was restyled and features a unique design that incorporates a rear diffuser.

ahhhh electric, sorry skip… even this lyriq there copied… do not understood, because has no colours.
sorry … a car for me should have colours in order can see… just a black hole on paper means to me nothing
Stunning! Absolutely stunning, would certainly love Caddy to pickup on that…
Let’s see now, you are going ga-ga over a drawing but, in real life, the Silverado EV pricing has been announced by GM as “starting” at an astounding $105,000.00 MSRP and you know the stealers are adding ADP on top of that. What do you imagine the price for a “Caddy” EV would be inflated to ? Are one of the extremely wealthy buyers ?
The most fully loaded Silverado EV model starts at $105,000. The fleet version starts around $50k and the second model year will add other trim levels to fill in between $50-$105k. So you comment is extremely misleading. Of course an Escalade version will be over and above the RST Silverado, but will also come with a much nicer interior and more tech and features. And it would be an instant success.
Cover three back and you have the electric Escalade
I guess this could be very successful, but I wouldn’t buy it.
for sure… GM A should work in GM … wont buy it but sure would sell a lot quantity, mainly now when an Il96 from St. Petersburg went to Washington to take many dismissed state secretaries…
At first glance I see that horrendous Escalade design. After that it could be fusion powered, I have stopped looking.
I’m all for an Escalade EXT revival in this EV truck form. The Escalade EXT was popular and should have never been discontinued. It was a luxury vehicle that had no direct foreign competition. Simply because it was a part of the successful Escalade brand it shouldn’t have been discontinued. I’d definitely like to see this in the lineup. I know this ship has sailed but would have even been better with Cadillac’s Blackwing V8.
no … we do not need an immense SUV Pickup here… seems too President in his Tank on Road…
Since Lincoln has not considered an electric Blackwood based on the F-150 Lightning, GM should consider a luxury pickup based on the Silverado EV truck.
You mean the Silverado EV that has a starting price of $105,000.00 MSRP and that ignores what the “stealers” will tack-on on top of MSRP.
Looks a lot like the Silverado EV TBH. I like it, but with the Silverado RST First Edition breaching $100k MSRP, I can’t think what a Cadillac EV pickup would bring to the table that the GMC Hummer or Silverado doesn’t.
It’s a good looking rendering for sure in black or cherry red or other colors. But as someone else said, it’s past its time at 110k .
Not for me. I can’t see paying more than an ICE truck for an EV. It’s highway robbery and just for the stupid and vanity. What would you do differently driving the EV vs the ICE. What…grocery shopping, clothing shopping, and special occasions to Home Depot or Lowes… yeah, thats worth 55k more …really.
Or, one would argue, by the time one gets produced by Cadillac, gas is 10.00 a gal times 26 gal fuel tank once week… Return on investment for the 110k Cadillac is not that bad and by the time that lease is up, you break even.
The same concept for any 1,000 hp EV
Just saying
No electric vehicles in this Family. Give me an LT4 anyday
If they put the supercharged 6.2 in this like the Escalade is getting this year I would be first in line to order one.
I guess non of you remember the 2008 to 2012 tahoe, Silverado, Yukon, Sierra, Escalade hybrids. I have two of them. Fantastic vehicles.
Wow. That is ugly.
The answer to the question nobody asked. What Cadillac needs is to go back to building real Cadillacs.
Stuff this BS
