The all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ returns for 2026 with a new performance-oriented trim, the LYRIQ-V. But don't let it steal all the attention; the entire lineup continues to bring serious style and range to the luxury EV space. Let's look at updates to the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ, so you can find a model that checks all your boxes!
Key Takeaways
- The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ lineup now includes the all-new LYRIQ-V.
- Expect a sportier design and interior updates for the V trim, with pricing likely above $70K.
- Models could hit showrooms before the end of 2025, so stay tuned!
What’s New for the 2026 LYRIQ Lineup?
Cadillac hasn’t fully revealed what the future holds for the 2026 LYRIQ lineup just yet, but we believe it will mostly carry over with a few changes, and the new LYRIQ-V will add a sportier edge to the familiar shape. It has a more aggressive front end, a fresh illuminated grille, bigger air intakes, and a reshaped rear bumper to help distinguish it from the rest of the lineup. Larger wheels and new paint or trim options are possible.
What We Know (and What We Don’t) about the LYRIQ's Performance Features
The lineup's engine options should remain the same. The LYRIQ-V hasn’t had its specs officially announced, but based on the current dual-motor LYRIQ, we can make a few educated guesses. The regular all-wheel drive model already generates up to 500 horses, so the V should top that. Don’t be surprised if it edges into the 550–600 hp range.
One tradeoff may be range, however. The standard LYRIQ gets around 307 miles with its 102-kWh battery, but the LYRIQ-V will likely sacrifice a few miles in the name of performance.
Will There Be Tech and Interior Upgrades in the LYRIQ?
Cadillac’s 33-inch curved screen setup carries over into 2026, blending the instrument cluster and infotainment across the dash. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with built-in navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and up to five USB ports. A wireless charging pad rounds out the picture.
Base models keep the seven-speaker setup, but mid and upper trims bring in the AKG 14-speaker system, and the V should build on that with even more features. Cadillac previewed a V-specific steering wheel, sport seats, metal pedal covers, and darker interior themes that give the cabin a performance feel.
LYRIQ Price and Availability
We’re still waiting on final pricing, but current LYRIQ models range from around $60,695 to $80,090. The LYRIQ-V will almost certainly land at the upper end (at about 70k or more), depending on how much extra performance it delivers.
Will You Choose the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ?
With the new LYRIQ-V adding performance power to the lineup, and the rest of the models still offering solid range, sharp looks, and Cadillac’s forward cabin tech, there’s more variety here than ever.
Look for these models to start arriving late 2025 or early 2026. Whether you’re in the market for a refined daily driver or something with a little more edge, there’s now a LYRIQ to meet your every need. Reach out to Alan Jay Cadillac in Sebring, and we’ll keep you posted on its arrival!
