, the electric car market is exploding, with SUVs leading the way. Not a little was needed to inspire Cadillac, the American brand of the General Motors group. At a meeting in Las Vegas, its CEO Steve Carlisle announced the official presentation of Cadillac’s first 100% electric SUV.

The first step in the new strategy of the manufacturer that aims development of 20 electric models by 2023. The brand is even planning a catalog that includes electric cars by 2030, gradually phasing out gasoline engines. In an interview with AutoNews, Steve Carlisle said on this topic:

Our brand enters this decade offering cars with only combustion engines. We want to ultimately position ourselves as an electrified brand. To get there, we will first have to manage these two worlds at the same time.

Cadillac: the first electric model without a name

General Motors will benefit from the show Auto Show in New York (from April 10 to 19, 2020) to officially present its first 100% electric SUV, which has already been briefly seen at the Detroit auto show in January 2019 with impressive illustrations.

If his name is still unknown, we have learned it Cadillac’s electric SUV would benefit from the BEV3 architecture it is already included in other brands in the group, notably Chevrolet. This design allows the battery to be placed anywhere and adapt to the configuration of the engine and other components of the vehicle.

So it will be important wait till April 2020 find out all the details about this first luxury electric SUV. Cadillac boss warned: “A good product is not enough”. Why is it enough? Certainly to stand a chance against Tesla’s Model X (which we no longer have) or the recent Porsche Taycan specifically adopted by Bill Gates. One thing is certain: Cadillac’s future will be electric.
