After months of teases, Cadillac officially announced the Lyriq-V as a 615-horsepower, high-performance electric SUV that will go on record as the “quickest” vehicle ever produced by the luxury automaker.

V, the first fully electric model in the brand’s hopped-up V-Series lineup.Powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system paired with a 102 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, this combination delivers an estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.

The Cadillac Lyriq was the first of a new breed of General Motors' electric vehicles. Built around a common battery platform ( which used to be called Ultium ), the midsize SUV has been on sale for about three years now, and for model year 2026, there's a new version available, the first Cadillac EV to wear the V-series badge.
