Cadillac reaches Europe with their new electric SUV, offering 500 km range

After beginning to manufacture battery-electric vehicles, US carmaker General Motors once again returned to Europe with the Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV, which will be available in Switzerland starting next year.

As per Electrive, other countries and models will follow this initial launch and the Lyriq can already be reserved in Switzerland for shy over 85.000 euros. The 102 kWh battery pack can offer ranges of as many as 530 kilometers on a single charge.

General Motors officials stated that the Lyriq will be only the first of multiple EVs that will soon hit European markets, with France, Sweden and three other unmentioned countries being in line to receive them.

There is no information currently on what EVs General Motors will bring to Europe next, with the company manufacturing those exclusively in Tennessee.

Jaclyn McQuaid, President and Managing Director, General Motors Europe, stated that "today General Motors is joining Europe’s electrification journey by launching our all-electric, direct-to-consumer Cadillac business in Switzerland with plans to expand to 5 additional markets in Europe over the next couple of years, with Sweden and France next."
