Cadillac will launched three electric cars This year to join existing lyriq And Celestiqand a prototype of one of them has just been discovered.
Prototype for a mid-size three-row SUV that will likely replace the petrol-powered XT6. Cadillac has previously described the vehicle as a “global” product with a focus on space and cargo capacity.
The car is heavily camouflaged, but design cues borrowed from Lyriq can be clearly seen, such as the lines on the front fascia, the vertical headlamp arrangement and the beak-shaped visor running along the edge. front of the hood.
However, the rear is different. Due to the need to add a third row of seats, the roof is relatively flat, instead of sloping down the rear like on the Lyriq. In some respects, the car resembles the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

The interior design should also be similar to what we see at Lyriq. This means a clean, uncluttered dashboard with a large curved screen that integrates the digital instrument cluster and infotainment center. Part of the screen is visible in some photos.
The car’s foundation should be the battery technology suite and the Ultium platform of parent company General Motors. Powertrain options should be similar to those offered in the Lyriq, meaning a battery capacity of around 100 kWh and a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. With all-wheel drive, the maximum power can fluctuate in the range of 500 horsepower.

One of the three EVs launched this year will be a compact crossover, a prototype for was discovered last summer. The third and final model will probably be the Escalade-like model mentioned in a Roadmap for the future of Cadillac offered by automakers in 2020.
All three will enter production in 2024. The flagship Celestiq will enter production later this year.
