Recently, according to foreign media reports, brand President Steve Carlisle told the National Association of automobile dealers that Cadillac will launch a medium-sized electric crossover car in April, which will become the first Cadillac. It is reported that new cars may be launched at the New York Auto Show. It is understood that Cadillac has made a grand plan for the transition from the full line of internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. "We've been in the industry for a decade with the internal combustion engine brand, and we don't want to position our brand as an electric brand. We want to manage both internal combustion and electric at the same time," Carlyle said In fact, as early as the beginning of last year, Cadillac revealed the new medium-sized crossover car, which is expected to launch two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and will be launched in the global market. It is worth mentioning that Cadillac mentioned its electrification strategy in December last year, when Carlyle formulated an ambitious plan to replace all its product lines by 2030. But the good times didn't last long. Just a week later, GM, the parent company, canceled its plans to appear at CES earlier this year, mainly because of the delay caused by the UAW strike last autumn, and the models GM plans to show are not ready for release. Cadillac has largely kept the news of its future electric car products, paving the way for the launch of the carrier later this year. Carlisle promised dealers at Nada that they would learn more about the company's plans at a meeting in September this year.
