2026 CADILLAC LYRIQ MODEL REVIEW - LINCOLN, NE

What's New for the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ?

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ pairs sleek, modern styling with advanced EV technology and a smooth, quiet ride. Rear-wheel drive models achieve an EPA-estimated 326 miles of range, while AWD versions sacrifice a little range for more traction and capability. For 2026, Cadillac has made Super Cruise standard across the lineup, with a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan included. New V-Series hardware is now available, pushing maximum output into the mid-600 horsepower range for performance enthusiasts.

What are the 2026 LYRIQ Trims & Features?

The lineup is organized into Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Signature Luxury for a comfort-forward approach, and Sport, Premium Sport, and Signature Sport for a more dynamic look and feel. The LYRIQ-V and LYRIQ-V Premium stand at the top for performance.

Luxury and Sport share interior highlights such as a 33-inch wraparound display, wireless smartphone integration, a wireless charging pad, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Many models include 20-inch wheels. Standard gear also includes an 11.5-kW onboard charger and a seven-speaker audio system.

Premium Luxury and Premium Sport add refinement with next-generation active noise cancellation, available ventilated and massaging seats, a digital rearview mirror, and the option of a 23-speaker AKG sound system. Premium Luxury also offers convenience features like a hands-free liftgate and an available 19.2-kW onboard charger.

Signature Luxury upgrades the Luxury line with 22-inch wheels, illuminated door sills, tri-zone climate control, heated rear outboard seats, and premium interior trim. Signature Sport mirrors these enhancements with added performance styling, standard dual-motor AWD, a panoramic sunroof with power shade, and sport-themed accents like a blackout roof.

The LYRIQ-V adds performance-focused features including reverse-rim 22-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, summer tires, and a sport-tuned suspension with continuous damping. The LYRIQ-V Premium combines these with upscale Nappa leather seating, a panoramic roof, and enhanced charging equipment, producing 615 hp.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 LYRIQ Have?

RWD models make 340 hp and around 325 lb-ft of torque, while AWD bumps that to roughly 515 hp and 450 lb-ft. The LYRIQ-V reaches 615 hp and about 650 lb-ft in its performance settings.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 LYRIQ Include?

Standard and optional systems include lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera system, forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, blind-zone monitoring with interventions, and Super Cruise hands-free driving.
