Cadillac has done it again. In a market where electric SUVs dominate the headlines, the iconic American brand steals the spotlight with the LYRIQ-V 2026, a masterpiece that combines brutal performance, unprecedented luxury and cutting-edge technology. This model is not only the first fully electric vehicle in the prestigious V-Series, but also the fastest SUV ever produced by Cadillac, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, with a starting price of 74,000€-

Cadillac Global Vice President John Roth describes it as a natural evolution of the V-Series in the electric era: “The LYRIQ-V takes our performance pedigree to new heights with a powerful, personalized and high-tech driving experience”. And it delivers on that promise, offering a perfect balance between advanced engineering and attention to detail.

The silent power of electrification

The LYRIQ-V is not just another addition to the V-Series, it is a true revolution. Beneath its elegant bodywork, it houses a dual-motor electric propulsion system that generates an estimated power of 615 CV and a torque of 880 Nm, delivering acceleration that takes it from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. This performance, combined with a 102 kWh battery, guarantees a range of 460 kilometers, making it an electric SUV ideal for both sporty driving and everyday commuting.

The driving experience is not limited to speed; Cadillac has refined the LYRIQ-V’s dynamic behavior. The multi-link suspension, calibrated specifically for this model, allows agile and precise handling. This system is complemented by a lower center of gravity, which maximizes stability and offers a direct connection with the road without sacrificing comfort.

Technology and multiple driving modes

The LYRIQ-V is not only distinguished by its mechanics. This SUV is designed to interact with the driver in an intuitive and personalized way. With advanced driving modes, such as the exclusive “Velocity Max” that unleashes the vehicle’s full potential, and the “V Mode”, which allows the performance to be adjusted to the driver’s preference, every journey becomes a unique experience.

In addition, Cadillac has integrated a custom soundtrack for this model. The interior and exterior sounds have been designed to amplify the sensation of control and dynamism, offering an immersive sensory experience. And for those seeking an extra thrill, launch control ensures explosive and consistent acceleration.

Cadillac’s personal design

The LYRIQ-V projects an imposing presence thanks to its bold and sophisticated exterior design. The combination of fluid lines and distinctive details, such as the “V”-pattern grille and carbon fiber accents, emphasize its sporty character without losing the elegance characteristic of Cadillac. Its black-painted roof and the exclusive Magnus Metal Frost paint reinforce its unmistakable personality, while the 22-inch wheels with a dark finish complete an ensemble that radiates power from every angle.

Inside, the cabin does not disappoint. High-quality materials, such as Nappa leather and wood trim, coexist with the latest technology. The impressive 33-inch LED display and the AKG audio system with 23 speakers offer a level of connectivity and entertainment that transforms every journey into an immersive experience.

The future of Cadillac

With the LYRIQ-V 2026, Cadillac is not only expanding its lineup, but also reinforcing its commitment to excellence in an era dominated by electrification. This model marks a before and after for the V-Series, combining exciting performance, cutting-edge technology and the luxury that characterizes the brand.

Available from 2025 with a base price of approximately 74,000 euros, the LYRIQ-V is set to conquer global markets with a proposition that leaves no room for compromise.
