Building on more than a century of innovation, Cadillac will unveil the first step toward its all-electric future April 2 \u2013 the Cadillac Lyriq.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Cadillac Celestiq will take General Motors forward into the past. In a return to the days when the most exclusive luxury products featured hand-built coachwork bodies, the low and sleek sedan will allow extensive customization.<\/p>\n

But what will become the brand\u2019s new flagship is no retromobile, certainly not with its high-performance battery drive and onboard infotainment and other technologies that might look like they were borrowed from a science fiction film.<\/p>\n

The Celestiq was one of nearly a dozen new, all-electric models General Motors revealed during a media backgrounder on Wednesday that lifted the corporate kimono to offer insights into the automaker\u2019s expansive electrification program. All told, GM plans to invest about $20 billion between 2020 and 2025 on EVs, as well as autonomous vehicles, CEO Mary Barra revealed during the presentation.<\/p>\n

More significantly, GM President Mark Reuss said the automaker plans to offer BEVs through every one of its brands, in every product segment and size, and from affordable price segments all the way up to what is expected to be the significant, six-figure asking price for the Celestiq.<\/p>\n

There had been a fair amount of skepticism about GM\u2019s EV plans considering it has not rolled out an all-new, all-electric model since the debut of the Chevrolet Bolt EV during the 2017 model year. But that\u2019s about to change, and fast. Here\u2019s a look at some of the products GM has confirmed:<\/p>\n
