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.”

• Cadillac-estimated 615 hp and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque

• Cadillac-estimated 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds with Velocity Max, making it the quickest Cadillac ever

• A multi-layered, unique exterior and interior signature sound

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.

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 lowered multi-link suspension and a quicker steering ratio, provides comfortable yet spirited ride and handling.

“LYRIQ-V brings luxury, technology and performance together to push its capabilities to the limit,” said Dave Stutzman, LYRIQ-V chief engineer. “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 a Cadillac-estimated 285 miles of range.

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.

• Launch Control, designed for consistently thrilling straight line acceleration. When engaged in V-Mode or Velocity Max, the vehicle will deliver an extremely rapid 3.3 second 0-60 acceleration.

• 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 red calipers are accented with the V-Series logo.

• Standard Super Cruise, the industry’s first truly hands-free driver assistance technology (with three years of OnStar connected service).
