2027 Cadillac Lyriq-V price and specs: Delivery timing confirmed for hot electric SUV

Deliveries of the Cadillac Lyriq-V, a high-performance version of the large Lyriq electric SUV, are set to commence in the coming months.

"Lyriq-V deliveries will start late Q1 into Q2," said a Cadillac Australia spokesperson, which indicates buyers should be able to take delivery around March or April 2027.

This will follow the commencement of deliveries for the Vistiq, which are due to start late this year or early in the first quarter (January to March) of 2027.

You can view a full breakdown of the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq Sport's pricing and specifications here, but while the Sport and V-Series share the same 92kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration, the latter has 75kW more power and 160Nm more torque.

That gives it a claimed 0-100km/h time of 3.6 seconds instead of 4.9, though WLTP range drops slightly from 503km to 471km.

The V-Series represents more than just a power and torque bump. It features retuned suspension with adaptive dampers, larger 22-inch (instead of 21-inch) alloy wheels, and gains V-Mode with a Velocity Max button that allows you to tap the SUV's full outputs, plus a Competitive Mode and Launch Control.

It features the same brakes, however, comprising 390mm rotors and fixed calipers up front and 345mm rotors with sliding calipers at the rear.

Cadillac has been building high-performance V-Series models for over two decades, many of which have used V8 engines. The Lyriq-V is the first electric V-Series model, and has been followed in the US market by the smaller Optiq-V. This model has previously been ruled out for Australia.

Drivetrains and Efficiency

The Lyriq-V features a one-pedal drive mode and Cadillac's Regen on Demand paddle, which allows you to slow the vehicle by pulling a paddle behind the steering wheel.

It features five-link independent suspension with Continuous Damping Control (CDC) adaptive dampers.

Lyriq models for export markets, including Australia, use a smaller 92kWh (instead of 102kWh) battery, reducing the DC charge rate from 190kW to 130kW.

The Cadillac Lyriq-V is a large, two-row SUV.
