The is almost here, and we’re driving it this week! That’s why we want to know what you want to know about it.

The Lyriq is Cadillac’s entrant into the electric vehicle marketplace and the latest in General Motors’ growing portfolio of EVs. It’ll join the , and the monstrous .

Let’s get some of the more boilerplate information out of the way.

The , which will be assembled at GM’s Spring Hill plant in Tennessee, starts at $62,990 for the rear-wheel drive model that is set to go on sale in the fall of this year. Power comes courtesy of a single electric motor that produces 340 hp and 324 lb-ft of torque. Energy is stored in a 100.4 kWh battery pack, and Cadillac says it’ll come with a 312 mile EPA-estimated range. That pack is capable of 19.2 kW AC charging, which means it can charge at up to 52 miles per hour.

The company also says an all-wheel-drive Lyriq will be coming early next year and will start at $64,990 – a $2,000 bump over the RWD model. There’s no word on range yet, but Cadillac estimates the dual-motor setup in this model will have around 500 horsepower and will be able to charge at 37 miles per hour.
