Cadillac has announced a high-performance version of its Lyriq is coming.
The 2026 Lyriq-V will happen to be the automaker’s first electric SUV to wear the V-Series badge.
“The LYRIQ-V is a truly remarkable representation of the luxury, performance and innovation prowess that are the foundations of the Cadillac brand,” said John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac, in a news release teasing the new model. “The Cadillac portfolio is even greater with our newest addition.”
Details are scant, but Cadillac teased that the Lyriq-V is a stunning technical achievement that pushes the performance pedigree of the V-Series to new heights.
The Lyriq-V will be available in select markets around the world, both with left-hand and right-hand drive.
So far, only the markets of Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand have been announced. More will be announced at a future date.
The Lyriq launched with the 2023 model year. The present, non-V-Series model is available with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel-drive models of the 2024 Lyriq have an estimated 340 hp and 325 lb.-ft. of torque, while all-wheel-drive models have an estimated 500 hp and 450 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Lyriq-V’s power output was not mentioned in Cadillac’s teaser.
