Detroit 2019: Cadillac's First Fully Electric Vehicle: Comments

[Drew Dowdell]

During the reveal of the 2020 Cadillac XT6, Cadillac also took the wraps off a yet to be named Cadillac EV.  This will be the first car on the new BEV3 platform that was announced just a few days ago at the GM Investors meeting. 

The new BEV3 platform is capable of FWD, RWD, or AWD variants and can be spun into many different body styles as customer tastes change.  Technical details will be released at a later date

Almost looks just like the XT6 but better!

Well, would ya look at that, the old Opel hockeystick lower bodyline has come home to roost.  👨‍🌾

Could be interesting.

Not as good looking as a Porsche or Mercedes SUV.  This looks to be early concept, they could be a couple years away from dealerships still. 

Without an technical details we don’t have much to go on but this is a vehicle they need for sure.

Shown, like an actual vehicle?

Or a rendering of one? 

Because the picture above looks like a computer generated and pixelated  photograph. 

In just curious, because pictures have a nasty habit of changing how the actual physical concept will look like and from there, actual physical concepts have the unfortunate luck in looking waaaay different than their real life selves that will go on sale a year later...

In that picture, the EV in question does look nice.  For a CUV that is...

Im excited to read about (and obviously actually see)  how that platform will be flexible and what vehicles it will accommodate.

I also am very excited to see what tech this will be packing.  Battery size and range. Performance specs as compared to Tesla and Porsche and Mercedes etc...

What electronic gizmos and internet connectivity and internet upgrades GM will be doing (if any)  to compete with Tesla, etc. (Not that I personally value those things, Im just curious on how the other players such as GM and Porsche etc, other than Tesla will go about their EV business...) 

Let the EV games begin.

Looks truly futuristic IMO. Like Blade Runner futuristic. Very cool. Hope that it just flops out the Cadillac womb like it looks right now.

Better than some other SUV's that look like they flopped out of another bodily orifice.

I hope they take this chance to go with NAMES on the new EV products. This would be a good time for Cadillac to embrace their Heritage and bring names to the EVs and leave Johann mess of Cadillac to die off on the ICE world.

Yes we need names. Alphanumeric designations are unnecessary on this one.

XEV5.  (just a guess...X for crossover, etc).
