Cadillac To Unveil Three New Mystery EVs In 2023

Cadillac is not wasting any time with its all-electric vehicle rollout as it plans to reveal three new BEVs this year, and production will get underway in 2024, per Green Car Reports. Cadillac's global vice president, Ron Harvey, has confirmed that all three EVs will begin series production next year, but apparently, it's not quite as simple as that.

The identity of these new EVs still remains a mystery, but they've been developed as global models for several markets. This means they will be produced in more than one factory in different regions. They may not even launch at the same time, but this will likely depend on the region. Equally interesting is that we don't even know which body styles they are.

Cadillac already has a crossover with the Lyriq, and, chances are, none of these EVs will carry the prestige - not to mention the price tag - of the ultra-exclusive, hand-built Celestiq flagship sedan.

What we do know is that Cadillac long ago trademarked additional nameplates with the -iq strategy, specifically the Ascendiq, Lumistiq, and Vistiq. The battery-powered Escalade IQ still remains scheduled for a 2025 launch. We've known since late 2020 about General Motors' plan to launch 30 new electric vehicles by 2025, so it makes sense for Cadillac to play a lead role in that.

Our best guess is that at least one of those three new fully electrified Caddies will be similar in size to the XT4 compact crossover, which would be ideal to have on a global level. A three-row SUV is a must-have for North America, as is a full-size SUV. The latter could end up being the Escalade IQ, but we're merely speculating.
