Compare the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V to the 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ
The LYRIQ was the first Cadillac EV model and remains a popular option. Meanwhile, the all-new LYRQ-V is a performance electric SUV catering to Charlotteans who desire a power boost. Think of this fully electric SUV variant as a Cadillac LYRIQ model that boasts the legendary performance of the V-Series.
Performance
For heightened performance, choose the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V, which can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, proving beneficial for merging onto I-77 or the Andrew Jackson Hwy in Charlotte. The Cadillac LYRIQ-V is the quicker electric SUV, as the Dual Motor AWD model generates 615 horsepower. That's an additional 100 horsepower, as the Cadillac LYRIQ delivers 515 horsepower through its Dual Motor AWD configuration.
Expect performance-level stopping power on streets through Charlotte Center City with the Cadillac LYRIQ-V's BREMBO® Performance front brakes. An adaptive valve-based damper suspension gives the LYRIQ-V improved handling, Cadillac ride isolation, and exclusive V-Series driving precision.
Electric Range & Charging
If range is your priority, choose the 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ. Offering 326 miles of segment-best standard range on RWD models, the Cadillac LYRIQ is able to make an extra round trip between Charlotte and home, whether you're visiting Carowinds amusement park or you're going out to Haberdish for dinner. The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V counters with an electric range of 285 miles.
Through 190-kW public DC fast charging, the new Cadillac LYRIQ is capable of adding up to 86 miles of electric range in 10 minutes. Plug in your Cadillac LYRIQ-V at a Charlotte public DC Fast Charging station, and you can add roughly 75 miles of range every 10 minutes.
Technology
GM Super Cruise® comes standard on the Cadillac LYRIQ-V so you can drive your performance EV hands-free on the 485 loop circling Charlotte. Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is available for the Cadillac LYRIQ but not standard. Both Cadillac electric SUVs feature Google built-in technology and a segment-largest 33-inch diagonal continuous LED display.
Design
The Cadillac LYRIQ-V stands out for its exclusive set of reverse-rim 22-inch alloy wheels in a "dark sport" finish. The Cadillac LYRIQ, meanwhile, rides on standard 20-inch split 6-spoke alloy wheels in a Diamond Cut and Dark Android finish. Inside the Cadillac LYRIQ-V is an exclusive leather-wrapped Performance Steering Wheel with easy access to V-Mode.
