2027 Cadillac Lyriq-V: What Changed, What Stayed, and What to Know

Walworth County drivers who want a 615-horsepower electric SUV will find a native NACS charge port on the 2027 Lyriq-V, and Kunes Chevrolet Cadillac of Delavan can show you how the Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium differ.

The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq-V is the high-performance version of the Lyriq, with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system rated at 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque when Velocity Max is active. For 2027 it gets a native NACS charge port, while the powertrain, battery, suspension, and brakes carry over. (The details below reflect what Cadillac had published as of mid-October 2026; ask us to confirm any specific Lyriq-V.) Here is what changed, what carried over, and how the two trims compare.

The headline change is a native NACS charge port, which replaces the CCS port and lets the Lyriq-V use Tesla Supercharger stations without an adapter. There are also new paint options across the Lyriq family.

The augmented-reality head-up display remains standard on the Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium, while the regular Lyriq trims no longer have it as standard.

The Lyriq-V keeps its 615-horsepower dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, its 102-kWh battery, its adaptive performance suspension, and its Brembo front brakes. Cadillac still estimates 0–60 mph in 3.3 seconds, and the Lyriq-V remains a two-row, five-seat SUV.

Cadillac calls the Lyriq-V the quickest Cadillac ever. Its performance dual-motor all-wheel-drive system makes a Cadillac-estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max. V-Mode lets the driver choose tuning for the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, suspension, steering, and sound enhancement, Launch Control enables near-instant acceleration from a standstill, and Competitive Mode adds a suite of traction-management features.

The Lyriq-V has its own sound. An E-Rev sound is designed to impress while the vehicle is in Park or Neutral, and an acceleration sound is tuned to match the power output, so what you hear matches what you feel.

A lower suspension and a distinct lower fascia set the Lyriq-V apart, and a 5-link front and rear suspension with Continuous Damping Control manages the ride. Brembo performance front brakes with black painted calipers provide the stopping power, and 22-inch reverse-rim dark alloy wheels laser-etched with the V-Series logo come with summer-only low-profile tires.

Inside, the Lyriq-V adds a Performance Steering Wheel, unique V-Series signature front seats with 12-way power adjustment, an augmented-reality head-up display, and signature interior and exterior sounds. It shares the Lyriq's 33-inch Horizon Display, Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance with a three-year OnStar One plan. A SkyGlass roof with a power shade and Black Inteluxe seating with Santorini Blue accents are standard.

The Lyriq-V includes the Lyriq Signature Sport's standard equipment, which means a 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system with available Dolby Atmos, next-generation active noise cancellation, ventilated and massaging front seats, a Rear Camera Mirror, a hands-free power liftgate, heated rear outboard seats, tri-zone climate control, a cargo cover, illuminated front sill plates, and wheel locks.

Cadillac estimates the Lyriq-V reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and rates it at an EPA-estimated 285 miles of range. DC fast charging peaks at 190 kW, which Cadillac says can add up to about 75 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes at a public charger. At home, the GM Energy PowerShift charger paired with an available adapter can add up to about 44 miles of range per hour.

The Lyriq-V has a standard NACS charge port that supports home charging and public DC fast charging, and a GM-approved adapter lets it charge at non-NACS chargers. With 11.5 kW charging it can add up to 27 miles of range in about an hour, and as a V2H-capable vehicle it can serve as backup power for a properly equipped home during a blackout.

Both trims share the same 615-horsepower all-wheel-drive system, adaptive suspension, and Brembo front brakes. The Lyriq-V Premium adds a 19.2 kW onboard charging module, a power SkyGlass roof with a power shade, and Black or Kona Brown Sauvage Nappa leather seating with V-Series embroidery on the driver's seat and Dark Ash open-pore wood trim. Choose it for the cabin and charging upgrades, not for extra performance.

Both Lyriq-V trims offer a Carbon Fiber Exterior Package, red or blue painted brake calipers with a front V-Series logo and a matching key fob, all-season self-sealing low-profile tires, and performance low-metallic brake linings.

The regular Lyriq starts with a single motor and rear-wheel drive, rated at an EPA-estimated 326 miles of range, and offers dual-motor all-wheel drive. The Lyriq-V trades some of that range, at 285 miles, for 615 horsepower, standard all-wheel drive, a black-painted roof, and V-Series styling.

The Lyriq-V is for shoppers who want a luxury electric SUV that also delivers real performance: a lower stance, Brembo brakes, a continuously damped suspension, and Launch Control for quick acceleration from a standstill. If your priority is the longest range or the lowest starting price, the standard Lyriq is the better fit, and we can help you compare the two side by side.

Cadillac notes that the 2026 Lyriq-V won SUV of the Year in the TopGear.com U.S. Car Awards, and it calls the 2027 Lyriq-V the quickest Cadillac ever.

The 2027 Lyriq-V starts at $78,700 with all-wheel drive, before the $1,795 destination charge, and the Lyriq-V Premium costs more. Starting prices do not include options, so many vehicles on our lots cost more.
