About the Cadillac LYRIQ
As a pioneer of some of the most groundbreaking and innovative features the automotive world has ever known, Cadillac has built its reputation on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible from a luxury vehicle. The tradition continues with the development of the dynamic Cadillac LYRIQ — a stunning all-electric exhibition of progressive design. Showcasing a number of impressive technological innovations, the LYRIQ combines remarkable efficiency with premium comfort features and sophisticated luxury amenities. You’ll make a memorable entrance thanks to the eye-catching exterior look of the LYRIQ complemented by a stunning collection of 736 choreographed LED lights within its exclusive lighting signature. Step inside the cabin to discover some of the most advanced in-vehicle technology to ever debut in a production vehicle. Highlights include a breathtaking 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display screen, home to a virtually endless array of customization options. Equipped with the revolutionary Cadillac Super Cruise semi-autonomous cruise control system, the groundbreaking LYRIQ represents the start of an entirely new chapter in the storied history of the Cadillac brand.
What the Critics Say
“Style may be subjective, but I think the Lyriq is one of the best-looking SUVs on the road today, and plenty of passersby seemed to agree. I received more comments and thumbs up in traffic than I have in any other vehicle I’ve driven. The Lyriq’s big 102-kWh battery charges at a brisk pace and doles out over 300 miles of range once topped up, which alleviated my range anxiety in day-to-day driving.” – U.S. News & World Report
“The Lyriq’s appeal begins with an almost suspiciously strong mix of range, charging, power and pricing figures. But after driving it a couple weeks you realize the numbers are just half the story. The Lyriq is smooth and responsive around town, comfortable and controlled on the highway, and has a stylish, roomy, feature-filled interior. Oh, and it can all but drive itself with the excellent Super Cruise system.” – Kelley Blue Book
What’s New for 2026
2026 marks the debut of the all-new Cadillac LYRIQ-V, a high-performance variant of this exciting all-electric SUV. Tested and perfected on the track, LYRIQ-V variants stand out with a jaw-dropping 615 horsepower. This makes it the fastest production vehicle in the history of the Cadillac brand! Elsewhere, all 2026 LYRIQ models come standard with three years of Super Cruise. Other new available features include an improved AKG audio system and a head-up display. Finally, Crystal White Tricoat has been replaced by Vibrant White Tricoat.

All-Electric Performance
As the first all-electric vehicle from Cadillac, the LYRIQ is engineered to seamlessly combine thrilling performance with unparalleled efficiency. In addition to its dedicated EV architecture, the LYRIQ is powered by an advanced 12-module, 102 kilowatt-hour battery pack and a rear-wheel-drive GM Battery Platform. In total, this system produces a Cadillac-estimated 365 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque along with up to 326 miles of range with a full charge. Available Dual Motor AWD variants deliver an astounding 515 combined system horsepower along with up to 3,500 pounds of maximum towing capacity. LYRIQ-V models turn up the exhilaration even further with track-inspired muscle and zero-emission thrills. Speaking of charging, you’ll enjoy the flexibility and convenience of high-speed DC fast charging for public stations at 190 kW which adds up to 86 miles of range in about 10 minutes of charging time. When charging at home, you can use a segment-leading 19.2 kW charging module which can add up to 51 miles of range per hour of charge. Other model-specific performance features include next-generation variable Regen on Demand technology along with the convenience of One-Pedal Driving to help you maximize efficiency.
Distinctive Styling
No matter which angle you choose to view it from, the Cadillac LYRIQ debuts a new form of design language that’s set to redefine the conventional look of an electric vehicle. At the front, the LYRIQ announces your arrival with confidence thanks to its unique black crystal grille with signature vertical lighting. The sculptural effect of the exterior continues with the standard 20-inch or available 22-inch wheels paired with low-profile tires, each constructed with the goal of perfecting aerodynamics. An illuminated Cadillac Crest is also prominently displayed in the center of the front grille. Thanks to an impressive collection of 736 exterior LED lighting, choreographed animation signatures allows your vehicle to “interact” with you via visual cues as you approach or exit the LYRIQ.
Innovative Technology
Representing a tremendous leap forward in terms of technology, the Cadillac LYRIQ is a true showcase of connectivity and driver-focused convenience features. Crafted exclusively to suit the interior of the LYRIQ, a stunning 33-inch curved LED screen blurs the lines of technology, lighting, and decor. Also included as standard is a Cadillac-exclusive AKG Studio 19-speaker sound system. Experience the first true hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads with Cadillac Super Cruise.
