Complete 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V Specs and Performance Guide

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V marks a major milestone as Cadillac's first-ever all-electric V-Series vehicle. This high-performance electric SUV brings together the brand's racing heritage with modern electric technology to create what Cadillac calls "the quickest Cadillac ever." With dual electric motors producing 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, the LYRIQ-V accelerates from 0-96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds when equipped with Velocity Max mode.

Built on a 102-kWh battery system, the LYRIQ-V offers up to 459 kilometres of range while maintaining the luxury and technology features expected from the V-Series lineup. From its Brembo performance brakes to its unique multi-layered sound experience, every component has been engineered to deliver both track-ready performance and daily driving comfort.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Performance and Powertrain

The LYRIQ-V's dual electric motors work together to deliver instant acceleration and all-weather traction. Each motor uses permanent magnet technology with bar-wound construction for maximum efficiency and power density. The front motor operates with an 11.59:1 final drive ratio, while the rear motor uses an 11.63:1 ratio to optimize power delivery.

Velocity Max mode unlocks the full 615 hp potential, transforming the LYRIQ-V into a true performance machine. This driver-selectable feature provides the most aggressive acceleration settings, enabling the record-breaking 3.3-second sprint to 96 km/h. For everyday driving, the standard power delivery offers smooth, refined acceleration while preserving battery range.

The V-Mode system allows drivers to save custom performance settings, including Competitive Mode configurations and sound preferences. Competitive Mode activates specialized traction management features designed to maximize vehicle agility during spirited driving. These systems work with the standard Continuous Damping Control suspension to maintain optimal wheel contact and stability.

Technology and V-Series Features

Inside the cabin, the LYRIQ-V features a 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display that integrates infotainment, climate, and vehicle controls. The system includes V-Series specific customization options and a dual-plane Augmented Reality Head-Up Display for performance-focused information display.

The steering wheel showcases V-Series design elements including:

• V-Series logo and unique styling
• Dedicated V-Mode button for instant performance access
• Sport rim with sculpted hand grips
• Aluminum Regen On Demand paddle

Performance-oriented seating includes power-adjustable bolsters for both seatbacks and seat cushions on front seats. The cabin also features paperwood décor elements, available Nappa leather seating, and V-pattern embroidery detailing that reinforces the performance theme.

Standard Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology comes with a 3-year trial, providing highway automation capabilities. The 23-speaker AKG Audio System with Dolby Atmos creates an immersive sound environment, while the panoramic fixed glass roof enhances the spacious interior feel.

Charging and Efficiency Systems

The 102-kWh lithium-ion battery pack uses NCMA cathode chemistry with a blended graphite anode for optimal energy density and charging performance. Multiple charging options accommodate different usage patterns:

• 240V AC (7.7 kW): Approximately 16 hours for full charge, adding 30 km of range per hour
• 240V AC (11.5 kW): Approximately 11 hours for full charge, adding 43 km of range per hour
• 240V AC (19.2 kW available): Approximately 7 hours for full charge, adding 71 km of range per hour
• DC Fast Charging: 121 km of range in 10 minutes, 10-80% charge in 41 minutes

The battery system integrates with the vehicle's thermal management to maintain optimal operating temperatures during both charging and performance driving. This ensures consistent power delivery and charging speeds regardless of driving conditions.

Regenerative braking through the steering wheel paddle allows drivers to customize energy recovery levels. The system can provide one-pedal driving in most situations while feeding energy back to the battery pack during deceleration.

Chassis and Braking Performance

The LYRIQ-V rides on a 5-link independent suspension system at both front and rear, enhanced with Continuous Damping Control technology. This advanced adaptive valve-based damper system automatically adjusts to road conditions and driving style, providing both comfort during daily use and precise control during performance driving.

Brembo performance front brake calipers provide strong stopping power and fade resistance. The front rotors measure 15.35 inches (390 mm) in diameter, while rear rotors are 13.6 inches (345 mm). Available blue and red caliper colours feature the V-Series logo for visual distinction.

Standard 22-inch alloy wheels wear 275/40R22 low-profile summer tires for maximum grip and steering response. The self-sealing tire technology reduces the risk of flats during performance driving. The electric power steering system provides variable assist that adapts to vehicle speed and driving mode selections.
