A few days after announcing the pre-production start of the all-new Cadillac Lyriq in China, GM is introducing a series of special benefits for customers of the luxury brand’s first all-electric vehicle in the Asian country.
Customers who place an order for the all-new Cadillac Lyriq in China will receive a special benefit package that includes free public charging and a lifetime warranty on the vehicle and its electric powertrain. With this initiative, GM creates an important competitive advantage and increases its commitment to the Lyriq, the first model based on Ultium Battery technology and Ultium Drive motors that seeks to conquer the Chinese market.
“Demand for the Lyriq has been tremendous since pre-sales began late last year,” said Vice President of Cadillac in China, Chris Biggs, in an official statement. “As we approach the start of taking orders, we expect the special benefits announced today to keep up the momentum and ensure our customers enjoy an unmatched luxury EV experience,” he added.
Cadillac is notably offering three years of free public charging for up to 746 miles per month on its own charging network and the free installation of a charging station at the owner’s home. If the owner of the Cadillac Lyriq does not want to take advantage of this perk, the brand will offer an additional 4,971 miles of free public charging.
In addition, customers who order a Cadillac Lyriq before March 31st, 2023 in China will receive an extra incentive of up to 15,000 Yuan ($2,200) for a trade-in vehicle, 50GB of free 5G connectivity data service with extra available data, and over-the-air updates, among other special benefits.
Regular prodution of the all-new Cadillac Lyriq will begin in the coming weeks at the Jinqiao Cadillac plant in Shanghai and is expected to go on sale in China in early July. The all-electric crossover will further raise Cadillac’s image and strengthen his position in the Chinese market, the most important for GM’s luxury subsidiary and, of course, the most important automotive market worldwide.

GM, Groveling Motors…
Gotta agree.
China builds a coal fired electric generation plant every week. They can afford to give away free electricity while the rest of the free world pays for it in anti pollution measures. Thanks Biden.
I’m sorry, a lifetime warranty on a car? In a country that densely populated, that’s asking for trouble. Or maybe they’re just THAT confident in it…
If the warranty is not transferrable, then exposure to GM for claims will be small 4 years out.
I also read somewhere that all Lyriq owners will not have to work in concentration camps and won’t be forced to have their organs harvested. How anybody can do business with the CCP and sleep well at night is truly amazing in my opinion.
and to think, 50 years ago they were driving bicycles.
And…what do the buyers in the US get? Oh, I forgot, GM and Cadillac are only focused on the Chinese market and not the US market where the brand was born and has supported them for years. That’s why we only get box on box CUV’s, SUV’s, mall crawler jacked up pickups and compact cars that they call “full-sized luxury sedans” that won’t fit 4 adults. Bravo Mary!
US buyers get to eat cake
Makes me want to move to China…………………….NOT!
GM should back up their US built vehicles.
Just drove my 2022 GMC Denali 6.2 from Mpls to
McAllen Tx 1647 miles at 10.2 mpg at avg.price of $5.23 price per gallon. Dealer laughed at me and said they all do that. My 2018 ( same equip) did 22mpg.
Will be buying a RAM
FUDDDDDDDDDD
Right!………… I also have a magic carb on my truck that got out of GM that gets 100 MPG per gallon and they want to buy it back.
This is very upsetting as a US buyer. I want to know what their going to do for us US buyers
unfortunately it is easier to do this in China because of the government subsidies available there and the better prepared infrastructure.
When you need parts in the US for it, they are going to tell you they are not available while they ship to China!
China has it’s own manufacturing plant for the Lyriq. The Lyriq in the US is built in the US, the Lyriq for China is built in China.
What about us Americans. What do we get?
Angel Food?
Higher taxes!
So, what do American consumers get???
Sponge Cake?
Well, Cadillac better offer the same benefits in the good old U.S.A. Otherwise, gm can kiss my azz. What does a lifetime warranty even mean? I’m sure there will be teething issues. gm doesn’t have a good reliability reputation on their first gen vehicles anyway.
GM WAS a good company. I left them in the 1980s amid rusting problems, transmissions that regularly failed in 10,000 to 20,000 miles, poor fuel mileage and mediocre handling and comfort and haven’t looked back. I bought European cars. With Volvo not Volvo anymore, Saab long gone, and BMW way too expensive, this old man is now buying Asian. I want a nice car, not a truck. Too bad American car companies aren’t interested in making fuel efficient cars anymore. What a shame to see American manufacturing set fire to itself.
You folks need to get a grip of reality.
The cold harsh reality is this China is the largest and fastest growing auto market in the world. While China is increasing and becoming more competitive the American market is in decline and is slow growing.
Every automaker in the world that expects to survive is working in the China market as failure to do so will result in the failures of a number of automakers.
None of us like it but China due to their higher volumes and higher profits have made their market a required market to be in and address be it Cadillac or anyone else.
With the slow to no growth American market it has made profits difficult and even tougher to sweeten the sales. As we have seen the goal here is to increase the average sale price to bring the profits up on lower volume of vehicles.
China is a necessary evil at this point like it or not for automakers and you need to stop worrying about it. It is better to own half their market vs none of it so it could be much worse. It is a good thing they hate their own in country cars or we would be really screwed as they would import their crap and under cut our prices.
You really want to make a difference stop shopping anything made in Chia if you can. You spend a lot of money on chia item as it is
How exactly does all of this justify Americans getting shafted? Again?? (And again and again…)
And offering this generous benefit to the home market would not “sweeten the sales” in any perceivable way?
The corporate-government globalist traitors have made it impossible NOT to be forced to buy Made in China unless everything you buy is 30+ year old new old stock on eBay.
Idiot, the world market drives business. GM did not set the table here it was set by Bill Clinton during his administration.
Then over years only one president did much in the way of sanctions to try to steer China into more fair trade.
The real world effect here is that China has positioned themselves to where many industries and companies can only survive with China sales.
Americans could make a difference buy buying more American but while most say they agree they either won’t due to costs or can’t because some things are just not made here anymore.
The main driving force is not called globalist traitors they are called the American buying public.
At the end of the day everyone says buy American but yet they still shop Walmart.
Everyone is patriotic till you try to touch their wallet or their pay.
We have two choices here work for less to be competitive or to use tariffs to balance things out. Mr Biden has removed the tariffs and I do’t expect people to accept wage declines.
At least with the auto market more money comes back here vs many other segments of the market.
Yes, we do it to ourselves, we do. That’s what really hurts.
We have allowed them to make a mockery of education in this country, to divide us and declare Patriotism, populism and nationalism literal crimes against humanity. Dumb Americans as a whole could care less that they’re contributing to their own demise as long as they can still get a crappy disposable bigscreen TV for $500 bucks at WalMart. They used to call that selling out. But alas, it’s very tough to fix a self-destructive culture in retrograde unless more people can see and admit the culture’s self destructive and in retrograde.
While Bill Gates buys up the nation’s farmland and corporations buy up the nation’s housing stock and our illegitimate administration hobbles the economy and shuts off our energy and food supply, removes our borders and funds ongoing war in foreign countries. Lifetime free service to Chinese buyers while Americans get the shaft! It’s no surprise. This is an inside job.
It wouldn’t hurt if more Americans understood the importance of putting their own country first, but as you know the mere utterance of the phrase “Make America Great Again” is now portrayed as a rallying cry for an “extreme and dangerous faction of hateful and bigoted Americans” falsely likened to domestic terrorists.
There’s no winning until Americans collectively hit rock bottom and realize we are being played and pitted against each other. Take care of this country or soon it will cease to exist. Divided We Fall.
Hmmn, let me see, China generates the worst pollution in the world because they use coal for their electrical generation, and now gm is giving them free charging? Isn’t this like kissing your own sister, what good does it do you? (Or our planet?)
Poor lying Mary , says GM is second in EV sales in China, what a lie, GM is slowly being pushed right out of the market in China
GM CEO Mary Barra says:
“GM IS THE EV LEADER…”
Then again she also said GM had only KILLED 13 Americans, when she knew GM had KILLED 125 Americans. And for that Lie, GM gifted her $20 Million Dollars. Mary will say anything for $20 Million, no matter how many Americans were Killed, all the other Lying is just gravy, done for fun and practice.
Don’t forget that China gets more that 4 colors and the US does get to pay hugh dealer markups.
WHEN will Missmanagment Mary and her gang of stooges that operate GM move themselves and there family to the promised land of china and become proud members of the CCP?
