View Inventory View Gallery Contact Us
Some vehicles make their strongest impression once you settle into the driver’s seat. The 2027 Cadillac LYRIQ gives you plenty to take in, from its wide digital display to its thoughtfully finished cabin. Then there is the drive itself. Electric power brings responsive acceleration, while a choice of configurations lets you decide how much performance you want.
For weekday errands and longer coastal journeys, the LYRIQ offers an appealing mix of comfort and capability. Its details deserve a closer look, especially if this would be your first electric vehicle.
Familiar Shape, Fresh Details for 2027
The 2027 LYRIQ builds on an already well equipped model. Cadillac Canada now lists a NACS onboard charging port, digital key with an NFC key card and Google built in with the Google Gemini voice assistant. These are notable additions to the published equipment compared with the previous year’s overview.
Interior choices also change. Luxury and Sport versions feature Brushed Shadow aluminum décor, while selected Signature configurations offer Kona Brown Sauvage or Black Napa leather. If you have already explored a 2026 LYRIQ, these details give you something new to consider. Equipment should always be checked against the specific configuration you choose.
Choose How You Want the Power Delivered
The standard single motor rear wheel drive powertrain produces a Cadillac estimated 365 hp and 325 lb ft of torque. Available dual motor all wheel drive raises those figures to 515 hp and 450 lb ft. Both offer plenty of performance to consider without moving into the separate LYRIQ V model.
Driving modes let you adjust the experience. Tour is intended for everyday use. Sport changes the vehicle’s responses for a more energetic feel. Snow/Ice mode helps manage wheelspin on slippery surfaces, while My Mode lets you personalise selected settings. It is worth trying these during a test drive rather than choosing purely from the horsepower figures.
Give the Brake Pedal a Different Role
The LYRIQ also introduces a different way to slow down. One Pedal Driving lets you reduce speed and stop using the accelerator under most driving conditions. Regenerative braking captures some energy as the vehicle slows and returns it to the battery.
Regen on Demand provides another option through a pressure sensitive steering wheel paddle. You still need to use the brake pedal whenever the situation requires it. For someone new to electric driving, learning these controls is part of finding a comfortable rhythm behind the wheel.
Range That Starts With Your Routine
Cadillac estimates up to 525 km of range on a full charge for the rear wheel drive LYRIQ. That figure provides a useful starting point when comparing vehicles, but your own routine is just as important. Think about your daily distance, where you park and how often you take longer trips.
Actual range changes with weather, speed, terrain and other conditions. Leaving some flexibility in your charging plans is sensible, particularly during colder months. The useful question is whether the LYRIQ fits your regular week with convenient charging, rather than whether every journey will match the maximum estimate.
Make Charging Part of Coming Home
The standard AC onboard charging module is rated at 11.5 kW. A 19.2 kW module is available on selected trims, including Premium Luxury and Premium Sport. To benefit from the higher capacity, your home charging equipment and electrical installation need to support it.
For public charging, the LYRIQ supports DC charging at up to 190 kW. Cadillac estimates that compatible equipment can add up to 138 km of range in about 10 minutes under suitable conditions. Charging speed varies with battery temperature, charge level and the station being used, so that figure is not a promise for every stop.
The myCadillac app and vehicle apps can help locate compatible charging stations and plan routes. With Energy Pass configured, Plug & Charge can also start a session at compatible DC stations when you connect the vehicle. Sorting out these services early can make the first few weeks of ownership feel more familiar.
A Cabin You Can Make Your Own
Luxury versions use Galvano Chrome exterior details, while Sport models take a darker approach with Obsidian Chrome. Inside, the SkyGlass roof and adjustable Radiance Lighting help shape the atmosphere. The lighting offers 126 colours, giving you room to choose something subtle or more expressive.
Premium Luxury and Premium Sport add ventilated front seats with lumbar massage. They also include a 23 speaker AKG Studio Audio System and next generation Active Noise Cancellation. The latter uses the audio system to help reduce road noise, adding another reason to spend time in the cabin before choosing a trim.
Keep the Useful Things Within Reach
The standard 33 inch Horizon Display brings vehicle information and infotainment into one continuous screen. Google built in provides access to compatible apps and navigation features, with subscriptions required for full functionality.
The LYRIQ also supports wireless software updates. For everyday use, take a moment to explore the screen layout and voice controls. Finding your preferred navigation view or learning a voice command can matter more than discovering every setting at once.
Support Without Taking Your Attention Away
Standard Super Cruise comes with a three year OnStar One plan. It permits hands free driving on compatible roads when the required conditions are met. You must remain attentive and ready to take control.
The safety equipment also includes Blind Zone Steering Assist, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. HD Surround Vision helps you check the area around the vehicle when manoeuvring. These systems provide support, but their performance can be affected by visibility, weather and road conditions.
