Cadillac is one of several luxury brands planning to go all-electric by 2030; the rest of General Motors will follow suit by 2035. We may have some more details now on how that will play out. Automotive News reports that Cadillac will launch three new electric SUVs before the end of 2024; meaning we could meet all three of them before the end of the year. The additions, along with the Lyriq crossover and hand-built Celestiq, would give Cadillac a lineup of five electric vehicles by 2025.
Two crossovers will join the Lyriq. And we may have spotted one of them.
CadillacPer Automotive News, two of the new Cadillac electric vehicles will be crossovers. One will be a large crossover that slots above the midsize Lyriq. The other will be a smaller compact crossover that slots below the Lyriq. The SUVs are unlikely to replace their combustion counterparts
Autoblog obtained spy shots of what appears to be the larger Cadillac crossover doing testing in camouflage. The vehicle appears to be more of a three-row XT6 crossover-like EV than an Escalade EV. And it looks as though it will share some design language with the Lyriq.
The new SUVs should ultimately replace their combustion XT counterparts. But the XT models may be sold concurrently until the end of their model runs.
Broadening the lineup will presumably coincide with Cadillac expanding its EV production capacity; Cadillac only delivered 122 Lyriqs in 2022.
