2023 Cadillac Lyriq a une distance de 300 kilomètres, à partir d' un réservoir de groupe motopropulseur de 100 kWh .

En Septembre Cadillac va commencer à faire des réservations pour la prochaine EV avec des livraisons prévues pour avoir lieu dans la première moitié de 2022.

The Lyriq Cadillac debuted last year in design and is ready for launch. The good thing is that so much has improved.

The thing that has changed is that actual cars must function in the real world. You can see conventional side-view mirrors in this production-ready Lyriq. In the center of the grille there is a camera which enables Lyriq to use driver support systems such as Super Cruise. The broad strokes of the Cadillac Lyriq that adhere to the concept as it lead to production compensate for those variations.

LE VISAGE ÉLECTRIFIÉ DE CADILLAC

Without the need for a traditional grille, LYRIQ features a Black Crystal shield which radiates an all-new finishing technique using three-dimensional texturing to create depth and detail. And in a nod to classic Cadillac styling, vertical taillamps feature a precise etched pattern inspired by the illuminated Cadillac Crest on the grille. Make no mistake—LYRIQ is an all-electric work of art.

ENGAGE THE GLOW WITHIN

Free from the constraints dictated by a combustion engine, LYRIQ’s interior design breaks convention to bring the sensual and the technical together. Trace your finger along Sky Cool Gray or Noir Inteluxe seating, across aluminum accents and to the driver-centric curved 33” diagonal advanced LED display comfortably within reach. Even the smallest spaces inside lead you to new discovery—without even leaving your driveway.

GO HANDS-FREE WITH SUPER CRUISE™

Driving the 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ includes so much more than leaving gas behind. LYRIQ offers available Super Cruise,† the first true hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads. And with an ever-growing network, you can travel on over 200,000 miles of compatible roads throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The electric motor is important for performance, but the heart of electric vehicles is the battery pack. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq sports a 100-kWh battery pack that stores enough energy, per Cadillac, to tackle 300 miles on a single charge, with DC fast charging restoring 76 miles of range in just 10 minutes. Cadillac also offers variable regenerative braking controlled by a steering-wheel-mounted paddle.

the multiple-motor competition. This single electric motor is good for 340 hp and 325 lb-ft, however, and while that won’t set the road on fire, it means the Lyriq shouldn’t be a slouch.

Cadillac says the Lyriq EV will be launched as a model-year 2023 vehicle early next year, with prices beginning at $59,990, and reserves shipping in September.

Aston Martin DBX

The sound of the Aston Martin DBX already suggests more than just elegance. The test shows how many sports cars are actually in the British luxury SUV.

negative	Slow driving comfort, sensitive to ruts

Would the new Aston Martin DBX also pass the test as a Bond car? James would no longer have to change vehicles if he suddenly leaves the winding expressway on the other side of the asphalt into the Carpathian Mountains or into other undeveloped terrain. But let's leave that, we don't want to create the link from the legendary sports car manufacturer to the legendary secret service employee for the umpteenth time. So let's stay on the solid ground of the facts, and that's on the test site. Unimpressed by the really elegant, almost light-footed appearance of the Aston Martin DBX, we equip it with our measuring equipment and thus slightly disfigure the interior, which is so tastefully lined in the finest leather

THE ASTON MARTIN DBX IN THE TEST

But the Aston Martin DBX not only attracts attention with its fine external appearance, the pressure on the glass start button placed on top of the dashboard also causes spontaneous rapture during the test. Because the mix of full V8-Bollern and overlapping overtones testifies to a skilful composition. That doesn't sound like heavy off-road workers at all, but definitely like a sports car. And that is not mistaken. After a measured 4.3 seconds - two tenths below the factory specification - the virtual speedometer needle in the electronic cockpit rushes over the 100, Tempo 200 is ticked off in the test after 14.5 seconds, the 2.3-tonner, which is largely made of aluminum, runs at a maximum of 291 km / H. The driving force behind the scenario is well known and has already established itself at Aston Martin: The 4, 0-liter V8 biturbo with nine-speed automatic transmission - also manually switchable using the steering wheel paddles - comes from the cooperation with Mercedes-AMG. With 550 hp and a maximum of 700 Newton meters, this drive is ideal for the large luxury SUV, impresses on the one hand with spontaneity and on the other hand with cultivated running. Even the consumption in the mixed test operation of 13.5 liters per 100 kilometers is okay in view of the performance level. After checking the impeccable braking performance, we turn off the longitudinal dynamic section into the mountain and valley meandering of the Eifel - actually no terrain for the almost two meter wide SUV chunk. And in fact the Aston Martin DBX still moves a little awkwardly and rumble through narrow town throughs on its 22-inch mixed tires (Pirelli P Zero) and lets you feel some manhole covers roughly and noisily. The rather narrow, but well-contoured seats partially dampen this and also provide good support.

there is another Asian SUV that is coming to our continent. The FAW Group has very concrete plans to bring the Hongqi E-HS9 to Europe.
Hongqi probably sounds very unfamiliar to many people, but there will also be a number of car enthusiasts who do know the brand name. The luxury brand, which is part of the much larger and well-known FAW Group, has been releasing the L5 for years. That is - put very simply - the Rolls-Royce from China. Moreover, Hongqi is the means of transport of the local police and business elite in China. Not a little boy, then.
ast year we spoke with Hongqi at the IAA in Frankfurt, when the brand had set up a small booth. Two cars shone there: a sports coupé (the S9) and a large electric SUV (the E115). At the time, both models were still in an early concept phase. The large SUV in particular seemed far from ready for production, with shuttered windows, no door handles and many special light signatures typical of a concept car. The staff present could not say much about both models, but told us that the sports coupe would see the light of day sooner.

That turned out to be different recently, when Hongqi showed the production version of the E115 shown at the IAA. It had in the meantime changed a different name of the model, because the large electric SUV bears the name E-HS9. Today the manufacturer announces that the car is also coming to Europe.

Norway

Hongqi will start in Norway, where it has already found a partner in the form of the Motor Gruppen. This company becomes the brand's distributor in the Scandinavian country. However, it will take a while before the first car is delivered there. The manufacturer is now aiming for September 2021. Hongqi plans to visit the rest of Europe after conquering the Norwegian market. It does so not only with the E-HS9, but also with smaller SUVs and sedans.

We can also report that Hongqi also has plans to come to our country. Not surprising, because the Chinese have now successfully found us. The MG ZS EV caught on well here, but Aiways and Seres also finally appear on the market. Moreover, the Netherlands is a popular EV area. The Dutch spokesperson says that Hongqi is also actively looking for dealers in our country. However, we do not expect a Dutch market introduction before 2022, because the manufacturer will therefore focus on the Norwegian market first.

Lincoln Navigator

But what exactly is coming our way? The E-HS9 is a large SUV, with a wheelbase of 3.1 meters. The total vehicle length is 5.2 meters, while the SUV is 2 meters wide and 1.73 meters high. The design is very stately and American, with the silhouette resembling that of cars like the Lincoln Navigator. At the same time, it is also very reminiscent of a Rolls-Royce. That's not surprising, because this E-HS9 is a Giles Taylor product. In the past he worked as a designer at the British luxury manufacturer, from which he clearly took his experience with him.

In terms of powertrains, the following is currently known. The E-HS9 comes in two flavors, with always a motor on each axle and thus four-wheel drive. The basic version has a power of 320 kW, the top model has 405 kW. This should ensure that the Chinese colossus sprint to 100 km / h within about four seconds. The electric range of the Hongqi is 510 kilometers, due to the battery pack that measures about 90 kWh. Please note: we are talking about outdated NEDC values. In addition, especially in that area - due to new technologies - a lot can change before the car may arrive with us in 2022. It is therefore still too early to talk about prices, but they are expected to easily exceed a hundred thousand. After all, Hongqi is not a budget manufacturer, but a maker of premium vehicles.
