2026 Cadillac LYRIQ: Power, Range, and How Fast It Charges
July 27 2026,
Electric luxury SUVs are usually praised for being smooth and quiet, rarely for having an attitude. The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V changes that equation entirely. Dual-motor all-wheel drive and serious acceleration bring genuine V-Series character to an electric platform, all while still delivering an estimated 459 kilometres of range on a full charge.
Velocity Max Brings 615 Horsepower
Activate Velocity Max and the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V produces a Cadillac-estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. With Launch Control engaged, it can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, making it the quickest Cadillac ever. That instant electric torque gives the SUV a sharp response without waiting for an engine or transmission to catch up.
Dual-Motor AWD Adds Confident Grip
The standard dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivers power across both axles for stronger traction and more controlled acceleration. Continuous Damping Control adjusts the suspension using adaptive valve-based dampers, balancing Cadillac ride comfort with the sharper precision expected from a V-Series model. The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V also includes Brembo performance front brakes with six-piston fixed calipers for confident stopping power.
A 459-Kilometre Range Keeps Plans Open
The 2026 LYRIQ performance, charging, and range package includes up to an estimated 459 kilometres of range on a full battery. That gives drivers enough flexibility for commuting, weekend plans, and longer highway trips without making every drive revolve around a charging stop.
Fast Charging Cuts the Downtime
Using an available PowerUP wall charger with 11.5 kW charging, the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V can recover an estimated 43.7 kilometres of range per hour. The available 19.2 kW PowerUP+ setup increases that figure to approximately 71.6 kilometres per hour. At a 190 kW public DC fast-charging station, it can add up to an estimated 120.7 kilometres in about 10 minutes, although availability may be limited.
More Chargers Along the Route
An available GM-approved North American Charging Standard adapter provides access to more than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers across Canada and the United States. The myCadillac mobile app and compatible in-vehicle apps can also help plan routes, locate chargers, and check real-time station availability.
