Debut Edition of Cadillac Lyriq Sells Out in Minutes

• Reservations for the Debut Edition versions of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq electric crossover were open for just a few minutes on Saturday before reaching limit.

• The Lyriq will offer 300 miles of range thanks to a 100-kW battery, with the first examples scheduled to arrive next year.

• Cadillac will reopen regular ordering for the Lyriq in mid-2022.

Over the weekend Cadillac began accepting reservations for the battery-electric 2023 Lyriq crossover—the brand's first model to use the Ultium battery and drivetrain. The Lyriq was first revealed last summer, promising over 300 miles of range thanks to a 100-kWh battery, and plenty of futuristic features inside including the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver-assist system. The Lyriq will also serve up 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, along with 190-kW fast-charging speeds that will be able to give it enough juice in 10 minutes to cover 76 miles.

Cadillac opened reservations for the Debut Edition of the Lyriq at 1p.m. on Saturday, September 18... and in just over 10 minutes later Cadillac says they had all been snapped up.
