Here’s When 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Production Will Start

The launch of the Cadillac Lyriq 2023 is drawing near. Back in January, the first pre-production model rolled off the assembly line at Cadillac’s Spring Hill plant, signaling that regular production would soon follow. And now, Cadillac Society have learned when to expect assembly of luxury electric crossovers to begin.

According to our sources, the regular production start of the Cadillac Lyriq 2023 is scheduled for March 21^st, 2022. The battery electric crossover unit will be assembled at the Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. More than 16 months ago, Cadillac invested $2 billion in a facility to get it ready to produce electric vehicles, and everything is going according to plan.

Recently, Cadillac’s parent company, General Motors, announced plans to increase production of its electric vehicles to accommodate the unprecedented demand. Initially, Cadillac planned to produce 3,200 units of the all-new crossover by the end of 2022. Now, the luxury brand plans to produce 25,000 individual units of the Lyriq by the end of the year.

Cadillac will first produce the Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition. From there, a second round of orders will be opened. That represents a change from Cadillac’s original plans, which involved reservations, like the system implemented for the Debut Edition models. But due to the great interest in Lyriq, the marque chose to forgo this process in order to open the order book immediately.

As a reminder, the Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition 2023 utilizes a 100.4 kWh Ultium lithium-ion battery pack and a single Ultium Drive motor mounted on the rear axle. The electric driveline is rated at 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, and Cadillac estimates the Lyriq will have a range of 300 miles from a full charge. The Debut Edition is only offered with rear-wheel drive, but we expect all-wheel drive, along with the high-performance variant, to be available in the near future.
