Discover the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V: All-Electric Luxury Performance in Nanaimo
The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V is not your average electric SUV. It brings the unmistakable power of Cadillac’s V-Series to the world of electric mobility. From thrilling performance to bold design and forward-thinking technology, it offers a complete luxury EV experience made for the roads of Vancouver Island. Whether you’re heading down the Nanaimo Parkway or planning a coastal weekend escape, the LYRIQ-V promises to elevate your every drive.
A New Chapter in Cadillac Performance
This is the first-ever electric SUV to wear the iconic V badge. And it wears it well. With dual motor all-wheel drive and a Cadillac-estimated 615 horsepower, the LYRIQ-V can move from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. That makes it the quickest Cadillac ever. Press the Velocity Max button, and you unleash all that power with launch control for a performance burst that feels almost unreal. It's a new take on speed, built with precision for those who want their EV to do more than just commute.
Engineered for Drivers Who Want More
The LYRIQ-V doesn’t just go fast. It handles like a dream. Its continuous damping control adjusts the suspension in real time for comfort and control on BC’s winding roads. Brembo performance brakes, complete with six-piston callipers, offer responsive stopping that matches the LYRIQ-V’s powerful acceleration. And the specially tuned sound design inside and out adds to the sense that you’re driving something far from ordinary.
Style That Stands Out on Vancouver Island
Sleek, bold, and low-slung, the LYRIQ-V captures attention even when parked. Unique V-Series touches like an available Carbon Fibre Exterior Package and laser-etched 22.0-inch dark alloy wheels give it an unmistakable edge. Inside, you’ll find seating that blends style and comfort, with optional Nappa leather in Noir or Oxford Stone. Signature stitching and seat tags remind you this is no standard EV—it’s a luxury performance statement.
Tailored Tech for the Road Ahead
Step inside the LYRIQ-V and you’ll find more than just luxury. A 33.0-inch LED display stretches across the dash, bringing together navigation, media, and performance data in brilliant clarity. Augmented Reality head-up display overlays directions and alerts on the road ahead, while Super Cruise allows hands-free driving on compatible highways, a useful feature for long scenic drives from Nanaimo to Tofino.
With selectable driver modes—including a fully customizable V-Mode—you can fine-tune your ride depending on the weather or your mood. Whether you’re pushing performance or just cruising along the waterfront, the LYRIQ-V responds to your style.
Charging That Keeps Up with You
Living in BC means enjoying wide open nature, and the LYRIQ-V is ready for all of it. With a Cadillac-estimated range of up to 459 kilometres on a full charge, you can go from Nanaimo to Victoria and back with ease. Home charging options like the PowerUP wall charger deliver up to 71.6 km of range per hour. If you’re out on the road, the North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter gives access to over 17,800 Tesla Superchargers across Canada and the U.S.
And with the myCadillac mobile app, you can plan your trip, monitor battery levels, and locate charging stations right from your phone.
Designed for Canadian Life
The LYRIQ-V is built for the way people in Nanaimo drive. It handles the hills, adapts to the wet coastal climate, and provides plenty of range for those longer getaways. With a ride that’s both quiet and thrilling, it suits the calm of island life while offering excitement when you want it. The lowered suspension and all-season performance mean you’ll feel grounded and in control, no matter where the road leads.
