The future of high-performance luxury has arrived in bold fashion. The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V takes everything you loved about Cadillac’s first electric SUV and turns up the volume—on power, style, and technology. This is not just another trim; it’s a symbol of Cadillac’s commitment to delivering uncompromising EV performance with a distinctly luxurious identity.
For drivers in Ottawa who want thrilling acceleration without sacrificing premium comfort, this new addition offers the best of both worlds.
What Sets the 2026 Lyriq-V Apart?
One of the most exciting changes this year is the introduction of V-Series performance DNA into Cadillac’s electric lineup. It brings bolder styling cues, a more aggressive stance, and enhanced dynamics, making it clear this vehicle is designed to stand out.
From the outside, the Lyriq-V is easy to spot. Its exclusive front fascia, larger openings for airflow, and darkened chrome details add presence and purpose. Even when parked, it looks ready to move. But it’s not just about aesthetics—there’s substance behind that muscular look.
This trim offers a high-performance dual-motor AWD system, a step above the regular Lyriq, delivering faster acceleration, better grip, and a refined driving experience tailored for spirited drivers. It’s a major leap forward from the already capable standard models, giving the Lyriq-V a stronger voice in the growing luxury EV space.
A Digital Cabin That Feels Alive
Technology takes centre stage in the Lyriq-V’s cabin. At the heart of the dashboard is a 33-inch curved LED display, seamlessly integrating driver data and infotainment into a single, panoramic interface. Whether you're adjusting drive settings or using real-time traffic updates, everything feels intuitive and fluid.
The vehicle supports Google built-in, which includes Google Assistant, Google Maps, and access to the Play Store—integrated directly into the infotainment system. Cadillac has also added wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so whichever phone you use, the connection is effortless.
The experience is rounded out with a 19-speaker AKG Studio sound system, making each drive a concert-like event. Whether it’s a podcast during your morning commute or a playlist for a weekend road trip, every note is crisp, clear, and immersive.
Athletic Yet Refined Exterior Design
The Lyriq-V stands out with unique visual treatments that nod to its performance edge. Its blacked-out trim, exclusive V-Series badging, and striking 22-inch performance wheels give it a road-hugging look. LED lighting, both front and rear, continues Cadillac's dramatic light choreography, while the roofline flows smoothly into an integrated rear spoiler, helping to manage airflow and improve range.
Cadillac has managed to blend elegance with aggression. The result is a design that's bold without being loud and refined without losing its edge.
Interior Comfort That Elevates Every Drive
Step inside, and you’re welcomed by a mix of premium materials, ambient lighting, and quiet sophistication. Open-pore wood accents and laser-etched detailing blend with brushed aluminium trim and soft-touch surfaces to create a cabin that feels handcrafted.
The seats are heated and ventilated up front, featuring power-adjustable settings and massage functions. Meanwhile, rear passengers enjoy generous legroom and standard heated seats. A full-length panoramic glass roof brings natural light into the space, creating an open, airy feeling that enhances every journey.
There's plenty of room for your lifestyle, too. With ample cargo space behind the second row, a flat floor, and under-floor storage, everyday practicality hasn’t been forgotten.
Pure Electric Power That Responds Instantly
What really separates this trim is its performance. Thanks to its dual-motor setup, the Lyriq-V produces over 615 horsepower with immediate 650 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration feels effortless and smooth, even under hard throttle. Cadillac has also equipped the vehicle with sport-tuned suspension, performance brakes, and recalibrated steering for tighter response and confidence in corners.
This is not just about speed—it’s about control. Whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising the highway, the drive feels poised and athletic.
The estimated 459 kilometres of range is expected to remain competitive, with DC fast-charging capability that gets you back on the road quickly. Get up to an estimated 71.6 km of range per hour of charge with the available PowerUP™+ wall charger, and enjoy up to 120.7 kilometres of estimated range in just 10 minutes at a 190 kW public DC Fast Charging station. It’s designed for drivers who want EV practicality with a dynamic edge.
Smarter Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety comes standard in Cadillac’s most advanced forms. The Lyriq-V includes the full suite of active driver-assistance features, such as:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Rear Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- HD Surround Vision
For those planning longer drives across Ontario, available Super Cruise offers hands-free driving assistance on compatible highways—another layer of confidence behind the wheel.
