Cadillac’s very first EV vehicle carries on for 2026. Last year, the midsize crossover received an adrenaline boost for its rear-wheel-drive version, but for 2026, the lineup expands with the arrival of the V badge.

Without that setting engaged, the Lyriq-V still delivers an impressive 515 horsepower and 450 ft-lb of torque.
