The Most Powerful Electric Lyriq Yet

Cadillac has officially unveiled the most powerful iteration of the all-electric Lyriq series, the V-Series version, delivering exceptional performance and advanced features.

Performance and Power

The high-performance Lyriq V is powered by dual electric motors—one mounted on the front axle and the other on the rear—offering an all-wheel drive configuration. This setup produces an impressive 615 horsepower and 881 Nm of torque. When placed in Velocity Max mode, which includes launch control, the car accelerates from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. These figures outperform its sibling, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, which achieves the same in 3.4 seconds with an automatic transmission.

The Lyriq V utilizes the same 102.0-kilowatt-hour battery pack as the standard Lyriq model, providing a driving range of up to 285 miles (459 km) on a single charge. This advanced electric vehicle also features upgraded Brembo brakes, with six-piston calipers and 15.3-inch discs at the front and single-piston calipers with 13.6-inch discs at the rear.

Pricing and Production

The starting price of the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq V is set at $79,990 (SAR 299,962), which includes a shipping and delivery fee of $1,395 (SAR 5,231). Production is scheduled to commence in early 2025 at General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing facility in Tennessee, USA.

Driving Modes

The Lyriq V introduces new driving modes, such as Competitive Mode, designed for skilled drivers to push the vehicle’s performance boundaries. V Mode, a signature feature of the V-Series, allows customization of settings like steering weight and throttle sensitivity. However, the car does not include a Performance Traction Management system, meaning stability control adjustments for track driving are unavailable.

Upgraded Features and Chassis Enhancements

For the V-Series, Cadillac has reinforced the Lyriq’s chassis, recalibrated its adaptive dampers, lowered the ride height by 0.62 inches, and refined the steering ratio from 18.44:1 to 15.81:1 for enhanced performance. The vehicle offers the option to replace its standard Continental Performance Contact 6 summer tires with Michelin all-season tires for improved traction in varying conditions.

The Lyriq V also includes a distinctive V-specific sound system, customizable in MyMode and V-Mode, with the option to disable it. Cadillac has described this as an exclusive, multi-layered experience for V-Series drivers.

Exterior Updates

The exterior design of the Lyriq V receives subtle refinements, including V-Series badging, unique front and rear lower fascias, and updated panels. Carbon fiber accents and 22-inch V-specific wheels are available, along with an exclusive V-Series color called Magnus Metal Frost.

 

Interior Enhancements

Inside, the Lyriq V maintains the standard Lyriq cabin but adds unique touches. Its 33-inch LED screen features V-specific software, and the head-up display incorporates augmented reality navigation. Cadillac’s Super Cruise driver-assist system is standard, as is a premium 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system with Dolby Atmos. The front bucket seats, upholstered in Nappa leather, feature power-adjustable side bolsters for added comfort and support.
