2026 Cadillac LYRIC-V in silver

Introducing the quickest Cadillac ever: the 2026 LYRIQ-V

2025-01-23


Cadillac is adding to its high-performance V-Series family with the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V. The first-ever all-electric V-Series vehicle, the LYRIQ-V delivers signature performance blended with craftsmanship and technology.

“V-Series captures the spirit of Cadillac, embodying our relentless pursuit of engineering excellence through our racing and production vehicles,” said John Roth, vice president, global Cadillac. “LYRIQ-V takes this commitment a step further in the EV era, pushing our performance pedigree of V-Series to new heights with a powerful, personalized and high-tech driving experience that fits perfectly into our customers’ lives.”

LYRIQ-V is not merely a sporty drive; it is a truly complete luxury vehicle with a multifaceted, iconic character and performance-driven features, including:

  • Cadillac-estimated 615 hp and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque
  • Cadillac-estimated 0-96 km in 3.3 seconds with Velocity Max1, making it the quickest Cadillac ever
  • A multi-layered, unique exterior and interior signature sound
  • Competitive Mode, enabling a suite of traction management features specifically engineered to extract maximum performance from the chassis2

LYRIQ-V will be sold in the U.S., Canada, and globally, with production starting in early 2025 at General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing plant in Tennessee3.

PERFORMANCE:

Continuing the V-Series story, LYRIQ-V delivers a unique expression of Cadillac’s signature isolated precision, a quiet, smooth and effortless experience with a strong connection to the road. Standard Continuous Damping Control, specifically calibrated for LYRIQ-V, combined with a multi-link suspension and a quicker steering ratio, provides comfortable, yet spirited ride and handling.

l “With the combination of its rigid body structure and lower center of gravity, our team was able to improve the suspension to achieve the right level of precision and isolation, adding to its outstanding canyon-carving abilities.”

LYRIQ-V features standard dual motor all-wheel drive and Cadillac-estimated 615 hp and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque, for a thrilling surge of power and acceleration. This experience is enabled by Velocity Max, a driver-selectable feature that unleashes the vehicle’s full performance capability.

LYRIQ-V includes a 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack that will enable up to a Cadillac-estimated 458 km of range on a full charge4

Additional performance-supporting and enhancing technologies include:

  • V-Mode takes performance customization further, allowing drivers to save performance-focused settings, including Competitive Mode and a unique sound experience. It’s intended to offer instant access to their preferred performance-driving settings via the V button, mounted on the steering wheel. V-Mode can also be accessed in the Drive Mode app within the 33-inch-diagonal advanced LED display.
  • Unique, multi-layered sound experience. Interior and exterior signature sounds are synchronized for an orchestrated sonic experience.
  • When engaged in V-Mode or Velocity Max, the vehicle will deliver an extremely rapid 3.3 second 0-96 km acceleration5.
  • Competitive Mode enables a suite of traction management features specifically engineered to increase vehicle agility.
  • Brembo® performance front brake calipers are standard. In addition to providing excellent stopping capability, they’re designed to provide consistent, fade-resistant performance during spirited driving. Available blue and red calipers are accented with the V-Series logo.
  • Standard Super Cruise Capability 6, the industry’s first truly hands-free driver assistance technology (3-year trial included*).

EXTERIOR:

The LYRIQ-V’s unique exterior design elements create a distinctive persona, projecting power and refinement through a sporty aesthetic.

As with other V-Series models, the LYRIQ-V is identifiable by a unique lower front fascia and includes available carbon fiber accents. The Black Crystal Shield integrates Cadillac’s signature choreographed lighting.

The V-Series logo adorns the rear doors and the tailgate, while a unique chin spoiler and rockers and V-pattern mesh on the front lower grille further distinguish the LYRIQ-V from other models.

Unique to LYRIQ-V, twenty-two-inch wheels with a dark sport finish and an etched V-Series logo come with a choice of standard summer or available all-season tires.

LYRIQ-V will come standard with a black painted roof. It offers an exciting, available exterior color palate, including an exclusive limited exterior color option, Magnus Metal Frost7, further reflecting its sporty persona.

INTERIOR:

LYRIQ-V’s cabin includes details that reinforce its performance persona and integrates them with cutting-edge technology. Key features shared with the LYRIQ include a panoramic fixed glass roof, a 23 speaker AKG® Audio System8 with Dolby Atmos® and a stunning 33-inch-diagonal advanced LED display. LYRIQ-V will launch with a dual-plane Augmented Reality Head Up Display.

LYRIQ-V’s interior distinctions start with the steering wheel, which is uniquely styled with the V-Series logo, a standout V-Mode button, a sport rim with sculpted hand grips and an aluminum Regen On Demand paddle.

Additional unique and specific interior details include:

  • Power-adjustable seat bolsters for the seatbacks and seat cushions on the driver and front passenger seats
  • Infotainment experience updated with specific customization options reflecting the V-Series persona
  • A signature V-Series illuminated sill plate
  • Celebrating the iconography of the V-Series brand, LYRIQ-V exudes deliberate craftsmanship with standard paperwood décor, available Nappa leather seating and available embroidery and V-pattern detailing on the seatbacks.

Canadian Pricing will be shared at a later date.
