The instruments on the dash can be controlled by a rotary dial, the other two screens are touchscreens.
The UI has been built to allow the customer to choose how much information they want to have available on-hand at any time.
Like that of the new 2021 Escalade, the Lyriq’s dashboard is dominated by a giant, 34.0-inch curved OLED display that serves as both the SUV’s infotainment system and the driver’s gauge display. In the Escalade, the infotainment system can be controlled by a click wheel on the center console, a boon for drivers who aren’t fond of touchscreens. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are all expected to be standard features when the Lyriq rolls into Cadillac showrooms.
The Lyriq will ride on GM’s modular electric vehicle platform. It’ll also pack the company’s new Ultium batteries that will be able to support capacities from 50 kWh to 200 kWh.
The Lyriq will be fully released on 6 August. Production will take place at the updated Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant following the $2.2 billion investment to make the site a hub for EV assembly.
The Lyriq will have the aility to recognize the driver once entered in the vehicle. It will then show details about the trip, including the quickest routes taking in account the range available. When the Super Cruise Driving Assist will be active, tips about it will be shown on the screen.
The infotainment system isn’t the only huge thing in this car, we also have a lot of cargo space as The Lyriq is very spacious with just 4 seats and a center console and a touchscreen also for the rear seat passengers that divides the 2 seats and expectedly a lot of cargo space.
General Motors is launching a line of new EV battery technology with the Lyriq called Ultium. The scalable technology allows the automaker to produce batteries that range in size from 50.0 kWh to 200 kWh, although the largest size is said to be reserved only for large EV pickup trucks such as the upcoming GMC Hummer EV SUT. In order to compete with the Model X and the e-tron, the Lyriq will likely come with a battery with enough capacity to power the SUV for up to 300 miles.
Technology is evolving from a day to another and it’s suitable for car infotainment systems to evolve as well thing we can best see in this car with the huge screens and almost no more gauges and buttons.
