GM Adds New Hands-Free Super Cruise to 6 MY 2022 Vehicles

General Motors said today it will introduce new Super Cruise¹ capabilities on six model year 2022 vehicles during Q1 of 2022. Super Cruise claims to be the industry’s first true hands-free driver-assistance technology allowing drivers to travel hands-free on over 200,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada.

These enhancements will be available on select model year 2022 Super Cruise enabled vehicles, including Cadillac Escalade⁴, Cadillac CT4⁵, Cadillac CT5⁶, Chevrolet Silverado⁷, GMC HUMMER EV Pickup⁸ and GMC Sierra⁹. Super Cruise will be available on 22 vehicles by 2023, including Cadillac LYRIQ¹⁰ and GMC HUMMER EV SUV¹¹. Additional vehicles that offer versions of Super Cruise include the 2022 Cadillac XT6¹² and the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV¹³.

GM launched Super Cruise in 2017 with the Cadillac brand and has added capabilities, expanded Super Cruise-enabled routes and availability on more products since then. To date, approximately 10 million miles have been driven by customers using Super Cruise across the U.S. and Canada.
