We’d like to think Cadillac heard our plea—though we were likely just one of many. Now, in response, Cadillac is expanding its high-performance V-Series with the 2026 LYRIQ-V, the first-ever all-electric V-Series vehicle. It seamlessly blends signature performance with craftsmanship and cutting-edge 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 of Global Cadillac. “LYRIQ-V takes this commitment a step further in the EV era, pushing our performance pedigree to new heights with a powerful, personalized, and high-tech driving experience that fits perfectly into our customers’ lives.”
Just imagine: 615 horsepower and a 0-60 time of just 3.3 seconds—this Caddy is already making hearts race. Now, factor in a bold, performance-driven design, and you have an EV that’s as thrilling to look at as it is to drive.
The LYRIQ-V exudes presence with a unique lower front fascia, sculpted side rockers, and body-colored lower trim, accentuated by available carbon fiber details. Its Black Crystal Shield integrates Cadillac’s signature choreographed lighting, while V-Series badging adorns the rear doors and tailgate. A chin spoiler, V-pattern mesh grille, and 22-inch dark-finish sport wheels (etched with the V-Series logo) further set it apart. To complete the look, every LYRIQ-V comes standard with a black-painted roof and an exclusive Magnus Metal Frost exterior option for those who want something truly rare.
Inside, the LYRIQ-V seamlessly merges performance-inspired details with state-of-the-art technology. The cabin features a panoramic fixed glass roof, a 23-speaker AKG Studio Audio System with Dolby Atmos®, and a breathtaking 33-inch-diagonal LED display. A dual-plane Augmented Reality Head-Up Display debuts with the LYRIQ-V, keeping key information right in your line of sight.
Driver-focused touches include a V-Series steering wheel with the V-Mode button, sculpted hand grips, and an aluminum Regen on Demand paddle, reinforcing the LYRIQ-V’s dynamic persona.
“LYRIQ-V brings luxury, technology, and performance together to push its capabilities to the limit,” said Dave Stutzman, LYRIQ-V chief engineer. “With its rigid body structure and lower center of gravity, our team was able to fine-tune the suspension for the perfect balance of precision and isolation—enhancing its outstanding canyon-carving abilities.”
Cadillac’s V-Series legacy has entered the EV era—and the LYRIQ-V isn’t just keeping up, it’s leading the charge.
