Cadillac is planning to launch two electric cars in the UK before the end of 2024.
The move is part of a major European expansion for the American car maker.
First to arrive will be the Optiq (pictured above), a mid-size crossover that will compete with the Audi Q4 e-tron, Polestar 2 and Tesla Model Y.
The Optiq uses a dual-motor powertrain that develops 300hp. It has an 85kWh battery back, which gives an estimated range of 300 miles.
Cadillac claims the car offers segment-best interior space and promises a full suite of advanced driver aids. The car is equipped with a 33-inch digital screen.
By the end of the year, the Optiq will be joined by Cadllac's larger Lyriq (pictured below). The Lyriq is fitted with a 102kWh battery and is expected to give a range of around 330 miles. Sales of the Lyriq have already started in some European countries, with prices starting at £70,000.
Both Cadillac models will be offered in right hand drive.
