Cadillac has announced its first-ever all-electric V-Series model with the upcoming 2026 LYRIQ-V. This milestone vehicle represents a bold step forward, combining Cadillac's renowned performance heritage with advanced electric vehicle technology. The addition of the V-Series badge to the LYRIQ lineup signals a new chapter in high-performance luxury EVs.
V-Series Legacy Meets Electric Innovation
The V-Series nameplate has long represented the peak of Cadillac performance engineering. For over two decades, V-Series vehicles have delivered exceptional power, precise handling, and track-capable performance. Now, the LYRIQ-V carries this tradition into the electric age. This latest addition to the V-Series family demonstrates Cadillac's ability to adapt its performance philosophy to new propulsion technologies while maintaining the brand's high standards for driving excitement.
Performance Engineering for the Electric Era
The LYRIQ-V builds upon the standard LYRIQ's foundation with substantial performance enhancements. While specific power figures remain under wraps, the V-Series treatment traditionally involves comprehensive upgrades to the powertrain, suspension, and braking systems. The instant torque delivery characteristic of electric motors provides an ideal platform for V-Series performance targets. Cadillac engineers have focused on creating a driving experience that matches the expectations set by previous V-Series models.
Luxury Performance Design Elements
Visual distinctions mark the LYRIQ-V as a special member of the Cadillac family. The exterior features subtle yet purposeful modifications that enhance both aesthetics and performance. The V-Series touches extend into the cabin, where sport-oriented details complement the LYRIQ's already luxurious interior. These changes serve both form and function, improving aerodynamic efficiency while creating a more dynamic presence on the road.
Canadian Market Introduction
Canadian luxury performance enthusiasts can anticipate the arrival of the LYRIQ-V in early 2025. This timing positions Cadillac at the forefront of the premium electric performance segment in Canada. The LYRIQ-V will arrive as a 2026 model year vehicle, giving dealerships time to prepare for this new chapter in Cadillac's performance story.
