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.
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 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds with Velocity Max[1], 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 increase vehicle agility[2]
LYRIQ-V will be sold in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, as well as other global markets to be announced at a later date. Production starts early 2025 at General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing plant in Tennessee[3].
PERFORMANCE:
LYRIQ-V advances the V-Series legacy with Cadillac’s signature blend of precision, comfort, and performance. Its specially tuned Continuous Damping Control, lowered multi-link suspension, and quicker steering ratio ensure a smooth yet responsive ride. With standard dual-motor all-wheel drive, an estimated 615 hp, and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque, it delivers exhilarating acceleration, further enhanced by Velocity Max, a driver-selectable mode that unlocks its full performance potential.
LYRIQ-V includes a 102 kilowatt-hour battery pack that will enable a Cadillac-estimated 285 miles of range.[4]
Additional performance-supporting and enhancing technologies include:
- V-Mode: Allows drivers to customize performance settings, including Competitive Mode and a unique sound experience, with quick access via a steering wheel-mounted V button or the Drive Mode app.
- Multi-Layered Sound Experience: Interior and exterior sounds are synchronized for a cohesive, immersive audio experience.
- Launch Control: Optimized for rapid acceleration[5], enabling a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds when in V-Mode or Velocity Max.
- Competitive Mode: Enhances traction and agility for improved handling and performance.
- Brembo® Performance Brakes: Standard front brake calipers ensure strong, fade-resistant stopping power; available in red with the V-Series logo.
- Standard Super Cruise[6]: Hands-free driver assistance technology, including three years of OnStar connected service[7].
EXTERIOR:
The LYRIQ-V’s bold exterior design exudes power and refinement with a sporty edge. Signature V-Series elements include a unique lower front fascia, side rockers, body-colored trim, and available carbon fiber accents. The Black Crystal Shield features Cadillac’s choreographed lighting, while V-pattern mesh on the lower grille, a chin spoiler, and V-Series badging further enhance its distinct look. Exclusive 22-inch dark sport wheels with an etched V-Series logo come with summer or all-season tires. A black-painted roof is standard, and the LYRIQ-V offers a striking color palette, including the limited Magnus Metal Frost[8] option.
INTERIOR:
LYRIQ-V’s cabin blends performance-inspired details with advanced technology. It features a panoramic fixed glass roof, a 23-speaker AKG[9] Studio Audio System with Dolby Atmos®, and a 33-inch advanced LED display. A dual-plane Augmented Reality Head-Up Display debuts at launch. Interior highlights include a unique V-Series steering wheel with a V-Mode button, 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.
