Cadillac is leading the way in GM’s electrification efforts, with a total of eight new all-electric Cadillac models slated to go on sale in the U.S. by the end of the 2026 calendar year. Among these is a new large crossover model scheduled to launch in 2024.
In a recent report, Automotive News details Cadillac’s model plans beyond the mid-point of the decade, including both internal-combustion and all-electric vehicles as the luxury marque pivots to battery power. Included in the list of upcoming vehicles is a so-called large crossover.
“A large electric crossover will launch in 2024,” Automotive News states. “It is expected to be built at Spring Hill Assembly in Tennessee, alongside the Lyriq.”
At present, the GM Spring Hill plant produces several different GM crossover models, which not only include the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq, but also three ICE-based models – the Cadillac XT5, Cadillac XT6, and the GMC Acadia.
Going forward, the details of this new large Cadillac electric crossover remain unclear. However, it will incorporate GM’s Ultium battery technology and GM’s Ultium drive motor technology with regard to the powertrain. That being said, Automotive News also expects that by 2026, the only ICE-powered vehicle in the brand’s lineup will be the Cadillac Escalade.
Cadillac has stated that its North American lineup will be all-electric by 2030, but vehicle rollouts will be based on myriad competing factors, including demand, economic forces, infrastructure, battery availability, and pricing.
The Cadillac Lyriq is the first full-production Caddy EV out the gates, while future EV offerings will include the new Cadillac Celestiq, framed as the brand’s latest full-size flagship ultra-luxury sedan. Cadillac will also offer an electrified version of the popular Escalade SUV, a compact electric crossover model, and a pair of all-electric sedan models as well.

So is this 2024 large SUV the Escalade?
No, Escalade IQ is coming before this one. This slots between the lyriq and the escalade.

Thanks. So roughly XT6 in size?
Not much difference between Lyriq and XT6; less than 2 inches.
Lyriq: 196.7
XT6: 198.4
The lyriq is a medium hatchback.
The xt6 is a medium SUV and 6 inch taller.
most importantly. 3 row vs 2 row.
The Hummer power train might be used for the Escalade?
This will be Cadillac’s Lux 3 offering (LYRIQ is Lux2). It will be three rows and if they stick with the design study I’ve seen, it will have a very commanding road presence. Think RWD drive proportions/stance that is sorely lacking in the pedestrian XT6. More reminiscent of the Aviator.
Ohhh NO, Rolls Royce & GM since long lost me as client appreciator !
Really Time To Keep The Atom Power Plants Working … or even constructing more ☢️
What are the eight electric models? I think we can expect count five right off the bat (Lyriq, Escalade EV, Celestiq, compact crossover, large crossover). A sixth could be a CT5 replacement. Maybe a seventh as CT4 replacement. But we are still short one. Maybe we will finally get another two door coupe?
Wouldn’t think they’d have a 5th crossover unless the do “coupe” versions like an x4. A two door could be entirely possible, and maybe even a convertible.
Probably a coupe, a CT6 replacement, or a subcompact crossover.
Would love to see a coupe.
What is up with the above picture, the Lyriq charging from sort of generator? So what does the generator run on, water? What a joke these EVs are, not to mention they are boring and weird as hell to drive!
its running on hydrogen
Ok gotcha!
Hydrogen means water generation. So in a sense it runs on “water”.
Oh C’mon Raymond ! Your comments are usually much more intelligent than this…
Nobody would ever say a Wood Stove runs on ‘ashes’.
Or a ‘Charcoal Grille’ runs on dust.
Water is simply what is left over when the thing it totally spent.
Rather like my natural gas room heater…. The thing continually generates water vapor – humidifying the air. But nobody would be DOPEY enough to say the thing runs on water.
By the way, internal combustion engines generate plenty of water – and also plant food – which all the silly people call a ‘pollutant’.
I love this particular ‘pollutant’: It is one of the few building blocks of LIFE, and increasing concentrations of it make vegetables more nutritious , deeper colors, and more tasty.
There is OBVIOUSLY a world-wide shortage of it since plants grow much better when there is MORE of it.
Less CO2 ultimately means more deserts.

How do you know they’re “boring and weird as hell to drive! ” ?
How many Lyriqs have you driven?
Zero Lyrics, a bunch of EVs…I own a detailing company, they literally are like driving over sized golf carts, which I have driven many times as well. They are boring, they have no soul. Sorry EVs are not everyones cup of tea and should not be forced upon us when we have hundreds of years of fossil fuels, which is the source of almost all of our electricity created in the US.
My company has had a fleet of Nissan Leafs for years. They’re supposed to be loaners for when your company car is being serviced and they always beg people to drive them but nobody ever does. Most people opt for a Ford Escape or Fusion instead. My understanding is that we received some sort of government grant to buy them and we need to show usage.
Nobody is forcing you to drive an EV. You can still drive a Chevy Corvair if you want to: just not a new one.
I’m sure we have hundreds of years of fossil fuels left. But would it be better if that hundreds of years became thousands of years because you start using a lot less?
EV’s aren’t for everyone, but they fit the majority of use cases especially if you have a garage where it can be charged regularly.
Also by soul I assume you mean sound and vibration? People spend a lot of time tuning that in out ICE cars. For EV’s companies like GM they are tuning some of the motor sound back in.
“EV’s aren’t for everyone, but they fit the majority of use cases especially if you have a garage where it can be charged regularly.”
The ironic things is EVs are most efficient for slower, in city driving. However, most people that live in larger cities don’t have garages or places they can park their EV and charge regularly. People that live in the ‘burbs in single family homes have garages where they can park and charge at home, but then typically have 30-60 minute commutes to work. Until EVs can reliably provide 400+ miles of range on a charge they will be a tough sell for most drivers.
A 30–60 minute commute is nothing for any modern EV. Your mileage will be even better because you’re probably not doing 70mph.
That’s the new hydrac hydrogen generator from Gm and Honda. Was designed for the military and for charging stations that are to far out to be on the grid.
Boring and weird how? They are wonderful to drive. Test drove the Inonic 5 2 weeks ago. It was the top model.
The dealer let me have it for a half hour. Very powerful. Rides very well. I wanted to buy it but it was not for sale.
No date as to when it will be available.
Thank you, Viny.
It’s a portable Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered charging station.
Appears to be a good time to start a company with a fleet of these for the rookie EV drivers that try to stretch their range like I did back in the 60s. Fast charge brought to you for $400 to save your bacon. Instead of a tow or a few gallons of gas!
Bro your tripping dude
Yep, in my EV that adds about 100 miles in ten minutes while I get a snack & drink, or take a pee!
How about GM focusing on getting the volume up on existing cars so we can even buy them in a quicker time period. Because by the time these models are in your hands competitors have enticing ones out too.
While Cadillac seems to have great designs inside and out based on the Lyriq and Celystiq, I stated from the get go that they should have stuck with the CT and XT Naming structure.
Just made soooooo much sense within the Marketplace. Everyone understands the Hierarchy with a Brand.
I hope and wish they would at least make one of those EVS a coupe! Why not? Even Mercedes still has this SL. Not comparing brands but I just wanted those people that don’t care for SUVs …. I don’t need a lot of people capacity I don’t do a lot of towing I just want something for me that feels rather sporty instead of hauling around what feels like a bus! I’m willing to buy a Coupe, Cadillac, make it happen!
