2026 Cadillac LYRIQ Price, Specs, Features & Review

What's New for the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ?

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ is a sleek, tech-forward luxury EV with competitive range and a refined ride. Rear-wheel drive models are EPA-estimated to deliver up to 326 miles of range, while dual-motor AWD versions are slightly lower. Cadillac made Super Cruise a headline feature for 2026 - the hands-free driver-assistance system is included with 2026 LYRIQ models and comes with a multi-year OnStar Super Cruise plan (three years of connectivity are included). The lineup also now includes V-Series hardware that raises peak output into the mid-600s horsepower for buyers chasing performance.

What are the 2026 LYRIQ Trims & Features?

The LYRIQ lineup includes Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Signature Luxury on the comfort-and-amenity side; Sport, Premium Sport, and Signature Sport for a sportier look and tuning; and the high-performance LYRIQ-V and LYRIQ-V Premium for V-Series buyers.

The Luxury and Sport trims share many interior features: a 33-inch wraparound display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Many configurations come with 20-inch wheels. A standard 11.5-kW onboard charger and a seven-speaker audio system are listed; higher trims add upgraded materials and optional equipment.

Premium Luxury and Premium Sport introduce additional refinement and equipment, including next-generation active noise cancellation, ventilated and massaging front seats on select packages, a digital rearview mirror, and the option of a 23-speaker AKG sound system. Premium Luxury lists convenience upgrades such as a hands-free power liftgate and the available 19.2-kW onboard charging module for faster Level-2 charging.

Signature Luxury takes luxury to a higher level with 22-inch wheels, illuminated door-sill plates, tri-zone climate control, heated rear outboard seats, and more extensive leather and wood treatments. The Signature Sport, which sits atop the Sport line, elevates the sportier trims with premium convenience and performance-oriented features, typically including dual-motor AWD, a panoramic power-opening sunroof with power shade, the available 19.2-kW onboard charger, and sport-themed exterior/interior details such as a blackout roof treatment and unique wheel designs.

The LYRIQ-V focuses on performance: it adds V-Series hardware such as reverse-rim 22-inch alloy wheels, Brembo performance front brakes, summer performance tires, a performance-tuned suspension with continuous damping control, and V-Mode driving settings. The LYRIQ-V Premium pairs V-hardware with upgraded interior materials (available Nappa leather), a panoramic power-opening sunroof, and upgraded charging/feature bundles; Cadillac and recent first drives list the LYRIQ-V at 615 hp with an EPA-estimated range lower than the RWD models due to its performance focus.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 LYRIQ Have?

The LYRIQ's standard single-motor RWD powertrain is rated at 340 hp and roughly 325 lb-ft of torque. The available dual-motor AWD system raises output to about 515 hp and 450 lb-ft. The LYRIQ-V increases to 615 hp and about 650 lb-ft in Velocity Max/Performance settings.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 LYRIQ Include?

Standard and available safety and driver-assist features include lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, an HD surround/360-degree camera system, forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and blind-zone interventions, and Super Cruise hands-free driving technology on 2026 models.
