New Cadillac LYRIQ-V for Sale near Rome, IA

Cadillac’s first all-electric vehicle gets the V-Series performance treatment.

The Lyriq was the first Cadillac EV to reach showrooms, so it’s fitting that it’s also the first electric Cadillac to get a V-Series performance variant. The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V gains more power, sportier chassis tuning, and subtle styling changes to differentiate it from the standard Lyriq, which has been on sale since the 2023 model year and carries into 2026 with updated tech features, including a 23-speaker AKG audio system with Dolby Atmos and an augmented reality head-up display that are also available on the V-Series model.

Verdict: The first Cadillac V-Series EV succeeds in making the Lyriq a lot more exciting, without compromising the luxurious feel that makes it one of the best electric SUVs.
