SAIC said on December 8 that nearly 5,000 orders have been placed for the Lyriq after it opened for pre-sale on November 17.

This comes just four days after deliveries of the Ford Mustang Mach-E to the first Chinese buyers began on December 26.

Ford delivered the first Mustang Mach-E vehicles on December 26 to owners who reserved the model at the Shanghai Auto Show in late April.

The supercharger station, located in Shanghai, offers four DC fast-charging piles and is currently open to customers who have pre-ordered the Lyriq free of charge.

The first available version of the Cadillac Lyriq in China is a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive, long-range one that is expected to be delivered in mid-2022.

Zhu joined Nio in 2017 as vice president of user development. He joined Ford China on June 1, 2020 and get the Mustang Mach-E launched in China.

Previously Ford only allowed the first Mustang Mach-E customers to experience the Co-Pilot 360 software for free for 90 days.

This reflects the dilemma facing traditional car companies transitioning to electric vehicles.

The Cadillac Lyriq was launched in the US earlier this year with a starting price of $59,990.

Ford China announced that official reservations for the Mustang Mach-E are available immediately, with deliveries expected by the end of the year.
