Cadillac, General Motors Co.'s luxury brand, on Tuesday confirmed that limited production of its first-ever battery-electric vehicle, the Lyriq crossover, will begin Monday at GM's Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.
Brand executives said the Lyriq has garnered 233,000 "hand raisers" — or, people who have expressed interest and are receiving regular updates on it — ahead of the May 19 opening of the order bank for the vehicle, surpassing the brand's target of 200,000.
Orders will open at that time for both the 2023 Lyriq, with deliveries expected to start in May, and the 2023 Lyriq performance all-wheel drive, with deliveries of that version slated to begin early next year.
