Cadillac is taking a significant step in its electric vehicle (EV) journey, officially announcing that the 2026 LYRIQ-V will be the first electric SUV to carry the prestigious V-Series badge. The high-performance electric SUV is set to launch early next year, making waves in select markets around the world, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with additional markets to be revealed later.
The LYRIQ-V aims to elevate Cadillac’s V-Series sub-brand into the EV era, emphasizing not only luxury but also top-tier performance. “The LYRIQ-V is a truly remarkable representation of the luxury, performance, and innovation prowess that are the foundations of the Cadillac brand,” stated John Roth, Vice President of Global Cadillac. He added that the new model further enhances Cadillac’s portfolio, underscoring the brand’s commitment to innovation and electrification.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the V-Series badge has long been synonymous with Cadillac’s performance-driven models. It serves as a benchmark for General Motors in terms of innovation and driving dynamics. In the electric era, V-Series vehicles like the LYRIQ-V are set to stand out with features like exceptional acceleration, competitive range capabilities, and standard all-wheel drive (AWD).
Cadillac’s venture into high-performance electric SUVs signals a strategic shift as the automotive industry continues to transition towards cleaner energy. The 2026 LYRIQ-V will not only honor the legacy of the V-Series name but also set new standards in luxury EV performance, promising to deliver the instant torque and cutting-edge technology that modern drivers expect.
