Cadillac Lyriq-V

The Cadillac Lyriq-V is a high-performance electric SUV from Cadillac, a luxury division of General Motors. It sits above the standard Lyriq in the brand’s EV lineup and targets the upper end of the midsize luxury electric SUV segment. It uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup and rides on GM’s Ultium platform, designed for electric-only vehicles. It stands out as the first Cadillac V-Series model built as a full battery electric vehicle, marking a shift in Cadillac’s performance lineup toward electrification.

Powertrain & Charging

The Lyriq-V uses an estimated 102 kWh battery pack, with usable capacity not officially confirmed. EPA range is about 285 miles, depending on wheel size and configuration. This figure follows EPA testing standards.

Charging support includes up to 19.2 kW AC charging for home and destination use. DC fast charging peaks at about 190 kW. Cadillac states 10 to 80 percent charging takes around 30 minutes under optimal DC fast charging conditions. Final charging performance may vary based on temperature, charger output, and battery state.

Pricing, Fit & Context

The starting price is about 79,000 USD in the United States before taxes and destination fees. Import markets push the cost higher due to duties and logistics.

The Lyriq-V suits buyers who want a luxury electric SUV with strong acceleration, daily usability, and premium interior space. It targets private buyers moving from petrol luxury SUVs into electric performance SUVs.

Within Cadillac, it sits between the Cadillac Lyriq and the Cadillac Escalade IQ. The Lyriq focuses on comfort and value, while the Escalade IQ targets full-size flagship luxury.

Key competitors include the BMW iX M60 and Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV. It also overlaps with the Tesla Model X in performance and pricing, especially dual-motor variants.
