Cadillac is preparing to bring its high-performance Lyriq-V electric SUV to Australian customers, with deliveries expected to begin around March or April 2027. A Cadillac Australia spokesperson confirmed that handovers are scheduled for late Q1 into Q2.
Priced at $99,000 before on-road costs, the Lyriq-V uses a 92 kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. It produces 459 kW / 615 hp and 880 Nm / 650 lb ft of torque, enough for a claimed 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 3.6 seconds. The WLTP driving range stands at 471 km / 292 miles.
The V treatment goes beyond extra performance. The SUV gets retuned suspension with adaptive dampers, larger 22-inch alloy wheels and a dedicated V-Mode. A Velocity Max button unlocks its full output, while Competitive Mode and Launch Control add to its performance-focused character.
Braking is handled by 390mm front rotors with fixed calipers and 345mm rear rotors with sliding calipers.
