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.

Inside, the Lyriq are all sorts of luxury goodies, like the massive 33-inch display screen we first saw on the Escalade, a 19-speaker AKG audio system, Google Assistant and active noise cancellation to deal with road noise, considering there isn’t an engine.

Cadillac’s Lyriq has some – let’s say – interesting dimensions. Its wheelbase is 121.8 inches long, which is about an inch longer than an .

Given these dimensions: wheelbase of an Escalade, length of an RS6, width of a Ford Bronco and height of a BMW X4, it’s hard to say exactly what class of vehicle this car will occupy.It enters a field of vehicles that continues to get more and more crowded. The Lyriq’s closest competition will be vehicles like the and , the and the .

When you want to - or need to - really get away, there’s no better way than in a 4X4 Van. Today’s Chevy Van pushes all the right buttons, but will its price, title, and - well, creep factor - doom it from the start? The Bluesmobile was an old...

For £69,990, This 1983 Lynx Eventer Could Be Your Lucky Shooting Brake
Considering that cool cars like today’s Jag custom shooting brake come from there, I’d have to say that the UK is A-OK in my book. Even if it’s not your national currency, you’ll still have to decide if it’s weighted down by its price in Pounds. The seller’s pricing acumen...

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf R Is Good At Everything And Has Fun Doing It
In this incredible era of near-perfect, record-shattering, computer-aided performance, one traditional quality is increasingly in short supply: personality. Character, some might call it. Technical prowess has a way of ironing out the things that make cars truly memorable beyond just their speed and handling. This is not a problem with...
