First drive Cadillac Lyriq-V, 3.3 second sports luxury

Cadillac is thrown by the whole game of more HPS and performance to Lyriq and improves it with the legendary moniker “V” for the model 2026 and we flew to Seattle to get the first ride. He didn’t do it!

Cadillac first announced in January 2026 Lyriq-V and he knew it would be the fastest Cadillac ever. Since the Dual AWD engine produces 615 hp and 650 lb-FT torque in Velocity Max mode, Lyriq-V starts as fast as Ferrari, while still fits five, luxuriously.

Although I think most WoW drivers prefer all this power to be available at any time, it requires a process to get into a “V-E-in”, which allows full access to all horse forces and torque. You can either select the V icon from driving, located near SuperCruise buttons (see above) or select it from the menu on the center screen.

Then you have to push the brake very hard unil animation screen gives you ahead. Then with the right foot you encounter an accelerator while keeping the brake down. When you are ready to lean forward, release the brake and clean.

During my testing in the parking lot and on the streets of Seattle it took 60 pH in 3.3 seconds and some of my colleagues managed to get under 3 seconds, although it had an almost endless slope on the track. Cadillac is worth 3.3 seconds of 0-60 time and also gives 1/4 mile in less than 12 seconds.

Autocross in Caddy?

Another was autocross “competing fashion”. Lyriq-V is transformed into an agile machine capable of caring by tight corners. A great way to show Rigithith from these 22 -inch tires.

• Stability control values are increased to allow more side slip before activation
• Control of traction preliminary torque of the front axle -based axle -based axle to reduce understeering in the corner
• Vectoring the torque of the brake torque applied inside the wheel brake pressure in the corner to transmit torque to the outer wheels, similar to the limited slide differential

Almot seems unfair that this vehicle will turn one of the race to a luxury Cadillac.

A complete list of upgrades that Lyriq-V includes $ 80,000:

• V-miper Further, take the power to adapt and allows the drivers to save performance settings, including competing mode and a unique audio experience. The purpose is to offer instant access to their preferred performance settings using the V button, mounted on the steering wheel. V-Medica can also be accessed in the 33-inch diagonal-dialed drive mode.
• A unique, multi -layer sound experience. The sounds of the interior and external signatures are synchronized for an organized audio experience.
• Control of the startup, Designed for landing exciting line acceleration. When hired in V or at Max, the vehicle delivers an extremely fast acceleration of 3.3 seconds 0-60.
• Competitive regime It allows the following traction functions that specially designed to include the dexterity of the vehicle.
• Brembo Performance front brakes Are standard. In addition to providing an excellent stop capacity, they are designed to provide fading resistant -resistant performance during a lively control. Available red calipers are accessed by the V series logo.
• Standard Super Cruise ,, The first driver assistance technology in the field (with three years of service connected to OonStar).

Added hardware, 22 -inch wheels and sports tires reduce the range from more than 326 miles in normal Lyriqu to 285 miles for V. Level 2 at 19.2 kW (80A @240V) provides around 44 miles/hour, while 190 kW fast DC charge can add about 75 miles per 10 minutes. The NACS Adapt is included to access Tesla Supercharger.

A few months ago we evaluate much cheaper Chevy Blazer SS AS with these two GM vehicles there are many similarities. Both have 22-inch wheels, 615 HP and 650 lb-FT torque and the 102 kWh battery. Blazer SS notch and 0.1 seconds slower 0-60 time, but somehow replace almost 20 kilometers.

Cadillac is convinced that customers in are willing to replace additional kilometers for performance V and it seems that they really know their customers well. I certainly liked great technological functions:

• 33-in diagonal advanced LED display
• Standard Super Cruise with new advanced drivers’ improvements
• A dual plane display with a widespread reality
• 23-Greek AKG Studio Sound System with Dolby Atmos

Electrek’s take

I do not know what the Venn Loks diagram for drivers of $ 80,000, who also want to drive from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, but the fact that the company successfully transforms its customer base for electricity, maybe better than Legacy Car. The company hopes that at the end of the year there will be 45% of electrical numbers and hopes to be the first traditional car, because next year the market with 50% electric sales. They are not afraid to lose momentum when federal tax credit in the amount of $ 7500, because most of its customers are still out of discount limitation.

Lyriq was the best -selling Cadillac model outside the mountaineering, with more than 60,000 sold so far, and this new power model hopes to capture each market share. The company notes that customers in an average of 6 years younger and richer and men. Lyriq and Smaller Optiq recorded 71% conquest from other brands, including a healthy percentage of Tesla owners.

As for Lyriq-V, this is the best luxury/sports SUV with all the comforts that you would expect from Cadillac. Some people could worry about 285 miles, but for most of this demographic group it brings Lyriq-V luxury and sport.
