2026 Cadillac LYRIQ Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

About the Cadillac LYRIQ

The Cadillac LYRIQ became the brand’s first fully-electric vehicle when it was introduced in 2022, and in many ways, it’s the culmination of the best in technology, performance, and design in a mid-size luxury crossover. For starters, of course, there is that electric powertrain. Most LYRIQ trim levels are available in both single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive, with the former offering 326 miles of battery life**, and the latter generating 515 horsepower and 3,500 pounds of towing capacity (the new LYRIQ-V takes things even further, with 615 horsepower). Its interior amenities begin with a stunning 33-inch OLED display — the largest in the segment — which serves as both the infotainment system and the gauge display, all while emitting more than one billion colors at 9K resolution. There’s no mistaking the LYRIQ’s Cadillac credentials anywhere else in the cabin either, with an upscale, elegant treatment highlighted by the best available visual effects and comfort essentials. The revolutionary Cadillac Super Cruise semi-autonomous cruise control system is a groundbreaking glimpse into the future of automotive transportation.

The Cadillac LYRIQ is now for sale in Cleveland, thanks to Central Cadillac, so here’s some more information on this groundbreaking vehicle.

What the Critics Say

“Blending old-school glamour with new-school technology, the 2026 LYRIQ has a smooth ride and upscale styling like luxurious Cadillacs of the past while also leveraging GM’s modern-day EV platform.” - Car and Driver

“This EV really feels like one of the great, cushy luxury sedans of the brand's past. Smooth and silent electric propulsion contributes to that impression, but the comfortable cabin and plush ride are what complete it.” - Edmunds

What’s New for 2026

What’s new for 2026 is nothing short of the fastest production vehicle in the history of the Cadillac brand. The LYRIQ-V lays down a staggering 615 horsepower, allowing it to get up to 60 MPH in just 3.3 seconds. A lowered suspension, re-tuned steering rack, and a launch-control feature help make the most of that speed — which somehow still allows for an impressive 285-mile battery range**.

The team at Central Cadillac in Cleveland, serving drivers in Rocky River, Strongsville, and across Cuyahoga County and Ohio, can help you navigate the year-to-year differences in the Cadillac LYRIQ, so feel free to contact us with any questions.

Cadillac LYRIQ Features

Electric Performance

The LYRIQ, in many ways, redefines what is possible with a fully-electric vehicle. The fastest production Cadillac ever, the LYRIQ-V, uses a dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain to generate 615 horsepower, producing grab-your-seat levels of acceleration. Whether your ideal ride is one of the two V-Series vehicles, or something from a different trim level, you won’t be disappointed. The all-wheel-drive versions of the Luxury and Sport trims are nearly as fast, as they produce 515 horsepower, and also offer 3,500 pounds of towing capacity with the proper equipment. The standard 190 kW Public DC Fast Charging and 11.5 kW Level 2 AC Charging (19.2 kW Level 2 AC Charging available) will ensure that you get back to tearing up the road as quickly as possible.

A True Cadillac Experience

The LYRIQ’s dashboard is dominated by a category-leading 33-inch OLED touchscreen that serves as both a gauge display and your connection to the vehicle’s infotainment system, which boasts standard Apple CarPlay®, Android AutoTM compatibility, and a wi-fi hotspot. The screen is also controllable through a stylish clickwheel, should you prefer a more tactile experience. Elsewhere, you’ll be surrounded by every conceivable comfort, like available ventilated driver and front passenger seats, standard heated seats, and noise cancellation technology, while any choice from a wide range of appearance customization packages will ensure that you feel right at home while behind the wheel. An available 23-speaker AKG Studio Audio System delivers your favorite music and podcasts with industry-leading quality.
