The Cadillac Lyriq-V and Cadillac Lyriq are midsize luxury electric SUVs from Cadillac. The Lyriq targets buyers who want comfort, tech, and daily usability. The Lyriq-V targets drivers who want stronger performance and sharper driving dynamics within the same platform.
Range differs slightly due to performance tuning. The standard Lyriq delivers higher efficiency, with estimates around 500 km or more depending on trim. The Lyriq-V trades some range for power, landing slightly lower. Charging remains similar across both, with DC fast charging support around 190 kW, making them aligned for daily use and highway charging without a major gap.

Price separates both clearly. The Lyriq sits as the entry point into Cadillac’s EV lineup. The Lyriq-V sits higher due to performance upgrades. Both models are widely available across North America, with expansion into other regions ongoing. This comparison helps you decide between efficiency-focused driving and performance-focused driving within the same design and feature set.
Cadillac’s EV lineup includes the Lyriq and Lyriq-V alongside larger models like the Cadillac Escalade IQ and upcoming smaller EVs expected below the Lyriq.
The Lyriq offers strong range, smooth ride quality, and lower price, but lacks the aggressive acceleration and sport tuning of the V model. The Lyriq-V delivers quicker acceleration, sport styling, and enhanced driving feel, but costs more and reduces range slightly.
Quick verdict; Pick Lyriq for efficiency and value. Pick Lyriq-V for performance and driving engagement.
