2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V Fastest EV, Priced Above Base

The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V is the fastest and most powerful Cadillac electric vehicle to date, featuring dual motors and all-wheel drive for 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds. The Lyriq-V combines advanced chassis tuning, adaptive dampers, and upgraded brakes to deliver both luxury comfort and agile handling, with Velocity Max and V-Modes enhancing performance versatility. It offers an estimated 285-mile range and starts at a $20,000 premium over the standard Lyriq. Although not a track-focused Blackwing, the Lyriq-V is positioned as a super daily driver, competing with luxury EVs like the Audi SQ8 and BMW iX M70. Cadillac's expanding EV lineup and focus on quality have strengthened its presence in the premium electric segment. The Lyriq-V will be joined by the smaller Optiq-V, further broadening Cadillac’s V-Series electric offerings.
