Cadillac Electrifies Its V-Series With 2026 LYRIQ-V

Published: May 16, 2025 | By: American Luxury Staff

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V represents a historic milestone for General Motors’ luxury brand—the first ever all-electric vehicle in its high-performance V-Series lineup. Building on Cadillac’s 117-year legacy of precision engineering, the LYRIQ-V artfully blends the raw power and blistering acceleration of V-Series with the smooth, near-silent drivetrain of an electric vehicle.

Slated for production at GM’s Spring Hill plant in Tennessee, the LYRIQ-V generates a Cadillac-estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque from its dual motor all-wheel drive system. This enables the crossover SUV to rocket from 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds—making it the quickest Cadillac in history.

Central to this neck-snapping performance is Velocity Max, a driver-selectable mode that fully unlocks the LYRIQ-V’s accelerator response. Augmenting Velocity Max is Cadillac’s signature V-Mode, allowing drivers to customize settings like steering feel, suspension firmness and even an orchestrated multi-layered sound profile emitted inside and outside the cabin.

Visually, the LYRIQ-V incorporates styling cues that echo its performance pedigree, including a unique front fascia, carbon fiber accents, 22-inch wheels and an exclusive Magnus Metal Frost exterior paint option. The interior also reflects the V-Series DNA through details like embroidered seatbacks, aluminum paddle shifters and a sport steering wheel bearing the V-Series emblem.

With a starting MSRP of $79,990, the 2026 LYRIQ-V represents the electrified future of Cadillac’s high-octane V-Series sub-brand. It brings blistering performance to the silent world of EVs, while upholding Cadillac’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
