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?
