General Motors's
pre-production version of electric SUV Cadillac Lyriq have been assembled and
the final production version is expected to be delivered to customers in a few
months, President Mark Reuss said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.
Lyriq, an all-electric mid-size SUV, was unveiled by GM in August 2020 in a move to transform its traditional combustion engine lineup to an electric one.
Detroit-based GM,
recently dethroned as the No.1 US automaker, is competing with century-old
rival Ford Motor over which company will sell more electric vehicles by 2025.
"Our teams have
worked tirelessly on the Lyriq, bringing the launch up nine months ahead of
schedule," Reuss said.
Lyriq, an all-electric mid-size SUV, was unveiled by GM in August 2020 in a move to transform its traditional combustion engine lineup to an electric one.
GM's Cadillac will
offer the Lyriq, Symboliq, Celestiq, Escalade EV as well as a compact SUV by
2025.
Separately, the
automaker halted production of its EV model Chevrolet Bolt in August after a
major battery recall and recently extended the halt to late February.
The company is considering investing more
than $4 billion in two Michigan plants to boost its electric vehicle production
capacity, according to sources and documents made public in December. © Reuters
