Cadillac has also already given a broad outline of what else is to come after the Lyriq. Other models will be added to the fully electric lineup – more SUVs, more crossovers, more cars even - but in 2022, the spotlight is on the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, set to be the only all-electric option in the brand’s lineup for now.
