The Chinese name of the Cadillac Luxury Pure Electric Midsize SUV LYRIQ was officially released as “Ruige” on May 16, 2022, meaning to forge ahead with determination and sing ambitions.

This time, Ruige also brought two new models – the rear-drive long-range noble version and the four-wheel drive high-performance noble version, providing users with more options based on the rear-drive long-range luxury version that debuted last year.

Power and Endurance

The four-wheel drive high-performance noble version is based on its “performance” and adopts a four-wheel drive system, equipped with front and rear permanent magnet synchronous motors, which can achieve maximum power of 375 kW, maximum motor torque of 710 N·m, acceleration of 4.9 seconds per 100 km, and CLTC endurance mileage of more than 600 km, supporting fast charging throughout the life cycle.
The two rear-drive long-range models have a CLTC endurance mileage of 653 km and adopt rear-wheel drive. The permanent magnet synchronous motor in both models has a maximum power of 255 kW, maximum torque of 440 N·m, and acceleration of 6.35 seconds per 100 km.

Exterior and Interior

In terms of exterior, the noble version is upgraded from a large panoramic glass dome to a double-piece electric dome that can be opened, further enhancing the user experience.

In terms of interior, the noble version is equipped with high-end Nappa perforated leather seats, providing two colors of morning light warm brown and night sky dark blue.
In terms of configuration, the noble version is upgraded with an electrically adjustable steering wheel; new three-zone air conditioning (with rear LCD display) and rear heated seats; upgraded air conditioning performance, adding air quality monitoring and allergen filtering functions.

Conclusion

As Cadillac’s first pure electric model, Ruige has been given high expectations by General Motors. Currently, Cadillac’s domestically available models are named using letter + number naming methods, such as CT4, CT5, and XT5, etc. This simple naming method is more neutral in information transmission. This time, naming LYRIQ “Ruige”, do you think this name can accurately convey the vehicle concept that LYRIQ carries?
