The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq all-electric SUV is getting one step closer to production as the luxury brand has announced it is opening reservations on September 18.

Starting at 4 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. PDT, prospective customers will be able to place reservations online for Cadillac’s first production all-electric model, which is also the brand's first model to use GM’s new Ultium powertrain platform.

Interestingly, the automaker mentions a $58,795 starting price (excluding destination and other fees), which is slightly lower than the previously announced MSRP of $59,990 (also excluding destination and other charges).

Here’s what Cadillac wrote in the short announcement posted on its customer website on the page dedicated to the Lyriq.

The 2023 Lyriq promises up to 300 miles (483 km) of range on a full charge thanks to its Ultium battery pack with a capacity of 100 kWh. The rear-wheel-drive Ultium Platform will deliver 340 horsepower and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque.

Cadillac says it will offer high-speed DC fast charging for public stations at 190 kW, which means that about 10 minutes of charging time will enable customers to add 76 miles (122 km) of range. For home charging, the Lyriq will offer a 19.2 kW charging module that can add up to 52 miles (84 km) of range per hour of charge.
