Cadillac Lyriq-V vs Cadillac Celestiq

Cadillac Lyriq-V vs Cadillac Celestiq

The Cadillac Lyriq-V and Cadillac Celestiq sit at opposite ends of Cadillac’s EV lineup. The Lyriq-V is a performance-focused midsize SUV for drivers who want speed with daily usability. The Celestiq is a hand-built flagship sedan aimed at ultra-luxury buyers who prioritize exclusivity, design, and customization.

Range and charging show different priorities. The Lyriq-V delivers around 285 miles of range with strong performance output, while the Celestiq targets about 300 miles from a larger battery. Charging speeds align closely. Both support DC fast charging near 190–200 kW, adding roughly 75 miles in about 10 minutes under ideal conditions.

Price separates both models completely. The Lyriq-V starts around the $80,000 range, while the Celestiq sits above $300,000 with bespoke builds and limited production. Availability also differs. The Lyriq-V is a production SUV with wider rollout. The Celestiq is hand-built in low volume with long wait times. This comparison helps you choose between performance SUV usability and flagship-level exclusivity.

Cadillac’s EV lineup includes models around both. The Lyriq-V sits near vehicles like the Cadillac Lyriq and Cadillac Optiq. The Celestiq sits at the top, above models like the Cadillac Escalade IQ and future high-end EVs.

The Lyriq-V offers strong acceleration, lower cost, and practical SUV space, but gives up flagship luxury and exclusivity while also reducing range slightly. The Celestiq delivers top-tier materials, high customization, and flagship positioning, but comes with extreme pricing and limited availability.

Quick verdict; Pick Lyriq-V for performance and daily usability. Pick Celestiq for flagship luxury and exclusivity.
