Cadillac has unveiled its first all-electric V-Series model, the 2026 Lyriq-V. The SUV is Cadillac’s most powerful vehicle ever.
2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V Details
Cadillac estimates the dual-motor all-wheel-drive system will produce 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. When Velocity Max is activated, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, making it the fastest Cadillac ever made.
The Lyriq-V has a 102 kWh battery pack that provides a Cadillac-estimated range of 285 miles.
Cadillac V-Mode allows drivers to customize performance settings, such as Competitive Mode and a distinct sound experience, with a dedicated button on the steering wheel. The Competitive Mode enhances driving dynamics by adjusting traction control for more agility.
The Lyriq-V’s exterior design has a distinctive front fascia, side rockers, and body-colored lower trim, as well as available carbon fiber accents. The V-Series emblem is clearly displayed on the rear doors and tailgate, and 22-inch wheels with a black sports finish and an etched V-Series logo round out the aggressive look.
The interior boasts a distinctively styled steering wheel with a V-Mode button and Regen On Demand paddle. Power-adjustable seat bolsters provide additional support during vigorous driving, and the infotainment system features a special theme reflecting the V-Series persona.
2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V Price and Availability
The Lyriq-V will be accessible in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, among other markets. Production will begin in early 2025 at General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing factory in Tennessee. With a starting price of $79,990, the Lyriq-V will not be the most affordable electric SUV on the market, but it appears to be a reasonable price for the fastest Cadillac ever.
