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.

If you buy one, you’ll be given the option of either two years of unlimited public charging credits at EVgo chargers or a credit of up to $1,500 toward a home charger. They want to make the owner’s transition into EV ownership as seamless as possible.

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 . It’s 196.7 inches long end-to-end, which is about the size of an . The Lyriq is 86.9 inches wide if you include the mirrors, which is a touch wider than a , and it’s 63.9 inches tall, which is the height of a .

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 .

So, that’s what we know about the Lyriq so far. Drop your questions down below for what you want us to look out for as we poke around the car for the next few days.

Consider the competition: Mercedes-Benz E-Class (too old), BMW 5-Series (too ugly), and Lexus GS (too boring). It's not hard for the A6 to be the best looking car in its segment, but it goes a step further and is just plain good looking. Not an easy feat for a large...

Jalopnik Reviews: 2007 Volkwagen Passat Wagon 2.0L, Part 2
Wagons usually come off as either nerd-chic or mom's baby-hauler. Neither option is very cool. The Passat Wagon is a shapely thing, and like we said it looks better than the sedan, but in the end it's a little too bland and vague in form. Chrome is technically more of...

Jalopnik Reviews: 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, Part 1
Can someone please tell me why Mercury exists, other than for Wert to pine over Jill Wagner? Of course, badge engineering is alive and well outside of the blue oval — just look at the Chrysler Aspen/Dodge Durango, any GMC truck, or the Nissan Armada/Infiniti QX56 — but Mercury doesn't...

It's one of the most stylish, fast, and comfortable cars available on the market. And it's got more technology in it than the Space Shuttle. The A6 isn't nearly as fun to drive as the performance number or price tag would suggest. Also, for anybody that can't afford a $65,000...

It's exactly what the car you need, even though you think you need a midsize SUV. That, and you've had an attachment to Volkswagens ever since that weird guy who hung around your high school parking lot offered you a ride home in his microbus. You are single and lack...

The Audi A6 4.2 is a lot like a Michael Bay movie. Bear with me. It's got all the gizmos and gadgetry to make your wildest dreams come true, all centered around a 335-hp V8. Plus, it looks good (more on that later). The A6 4.2 is the automotive equivalent...
