SEOUL, May 7 (Korea Bizwire) — Cadillac Korea announced on Sunday that it will launch LYRIQ, the brand’s inaugural all-electric vehicle, in the second half of this year. The LYRIQ is a pioneering model in General Motors’ (GM) electrification strategy, serving as the first vehicle built on GM’s cutting-edge ULTIUM electric vehicle platform.
Featuring a high-capacity 102-kilowatt-hour battery with 12 modules and an all-wheel drive (AWD) system with dual motors, the LYRIQ boasts a maximum power output of approximately 500 horsepower and a torque of 62 kg-m.
