The Lyriq was shown in what was termed concept form-quite closely echoing the concept GM had teased before-although GM VP for global design Michael Simcoe said that it’s more of a “production precursor” and that the vehicle we saw is “95 to 98% what it will be.” It will be the debut vehicle not just for the use of the BEV3 building blocks in a crossover but for a new 34-inch curved display that combines gauge displays and infotainment and is “the new volume display for Cadillac.” Teaser for Cadillac Lyriq electric cossover SUV based on GM BEV3 modular platform Although it’s not likely to be as luxurious as the Hummer, it is likely to tap into the same battery capacity of up to 200 kwh, which should enable an impressive range.

Those who have been pining for the return of the cult-following Avalanche personal-use pickup will be very happy, and getting it in EV form this time fits the times. This one was shown to us merely in picture form-and briefly. Expect very good approach, departure, and breakover angles for the kind of off-roading people might expect from a Hummer. GM officials were reluctant to share sizes or dimensions, but we did get a confirmation that the SUV rides on a shorter wheelbase than the SUT. The SUV looks identical to the SUT from the side pillar forward, and shorter than GM’s existing full-size SUVs. The Hummer vehicles were designed and developed by the same close team, which is why their interiors are perhaps the most coordinated of any of the concepts and vehicles shown.

One of the most distinctive features is the ability to completely open up the roof, for quiet open-air off-roading or, as a promotional video we saw illustrated, just looking at the stars. It appeared to have body-on-frame construction and will truly max out GM’s platform potential with up to three motors and the “double stack” 24-module battery pack with potentially up to 200 kwh of capacity.

The SUT, with a roomy cabin plus a small pickup bed, is the electric vehicle that will mark the return of Hummer, as a subset of GMC.
