2026 Cadillac LYRIQ Luxury vs. Sport vs. LYRIQ-V: Trim Breakdown

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ delivers electric luxury with a lineup designed to match different driving priorities and budgets. From the well-equipped Luxury model to the track-ready LYRIQ-V, each trim offers distinct features and capabilities. This guide breaks down every available trim to help you choose the LYRIQ that fits your needs in Quebec.

The LYRIQ lineup includes Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Signature Luxury variants, as well as Sport, Premium Sport, and Signature Sport models. The LYRIQ-V stands alone as Cadillac's quickest vehicle ever. Each trim is available with single-motor rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive, except the LYRIQ-V which comes exclusively with AWD and a performance-tuned powertrain.

Luxury Trim: The Foundation

The Luxury trim establishes the LYRIQ's core value with a comprehensive list of standard equipment. Rear-wheel drive delivers 340 hp, while the available dual-motor all-wheel drive system increases output to 515 hp. Both configurations use a 102 kWh battery pack, with the RWD model offering up to 525 km of range and the AWD variant providing up to 513 km.

Inside, you'll find a 33-inch curved LED display with Google built-in, wireless smartphone integration, and a 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system with Dolby Atmos. The panoramic fixed glass roof spans both rows of seating, creating an open cabin feel. Front seats include heating and massage functions for both driver and passenger, plus 8-way power adjustment for the driver and 6-way for the passenger. Driver memory settings store your preferred seating position.

The Luxury trim includes Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology with a 3-year trial subscription. This system provides true hands-free driving on compatible highways across Canada. Standard safety features include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, and HD Surround Vision camera system.

Chrome and black exterior details create the Luxury trim's signature appearance, while customizable ambient lighting with 126 colour choices personalizes the cabin atmosphere. The onboard charging system operates at 11.5 kW standard, with an available upgrade to 19.2 kW for faster home charging.

Key Luxury Features:

• 340 hp RWD or 515 hp AWD powertrain
• Up to 525 km range (RWD) or 513 km (AWD)
• 33-inch curved LED display with Google built-in
• Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance
• Heated and massaging front seats
• 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system
• Panoramic fixed glass roof
• HD Surround Vision camera system

Premium Luxury: Added Refinement

Premium Luxury builds on the Luxury foundation with upgraded comfort and convenience features. The AKG audio system expands to 23 speakers for enhanced sound quality, while Active Noise Cancellation reduces road noise. Front seats gain ventilation in addition to heating and massage, and power bolster adjustment lets you customize side support. Both driver and passenger get 8-way power adjustment and memory settings.

A hands-free power liftgate makes loading cargo easier, and the onboard charger upgrades to 19.2 kW as standard equipment. This faster charging capability adds approximately 82 km of range per hour on a Level 2 home charger, compared to 49 km per hour with the base 11.5 kW system.

The Premium Luxury maintains the same powertrain options as the Luxury trim: 340 hp with RWD or 515 hp with AWD. Range estimates remain at up to 525 km for RWD and 513 km for AWD configurations.

Signature Luxury: Maximum Technology

Signature Luxury represents the top tier of the standard LYRIQ lineup with every available luxury and technology feature. The dual-plane Augmented Reality Head-Up Display projects navigation and vehicle information directly in your line of sight, layering guidance arrows over the real road ahead. This advanced system makes navigation more intuitive and keeps your eyes focused forward.

Twenty-two-inch wheels upgrade the exterior appearance and handling dynamics. Inside, tri-zone automatic climate control gives rear passengers independent temperature settings. Heated rear seats add comfort for all passengers during Quebec winters.

The Signature Luxury includes all Premium Luxury features—23-speaker AKG audio, ventilated and massaging front seats, power bolsters, hands-free liftgate, and 19.2 kW onboard charging. Powertrain and range specifications match other Luxury variants.

Sport Trim: Performance Appearance

Sport models shift the LYRIQ's character with distinctive exterior styling. Obsidian black details replace chrome trim on the grille, window surrounds, and exterior moldings. This darker aesthetic creates a more athletic stance. The Sport trim maintains the same core features as the Luxury model, including the 33-inch display, Super Cruise, heated and massaging seats, and 19-speaker audio system.

The Sport trim offers the same powertrain choices: 340 hp RWD or 515 hp AWD. For drivers in Quebec who frequently encounter snow and ice, the AWD configuration delivers confident traction with nearly 50 percent more power than the RWD setup.

Premium Sport: Sport Styling With Enhanced Features

Premium Sport combines the Sport trim's athletic appearance with the upgraded equipment from Premium Luxury. You get the 23-speaker AKG audio system, Active Noise Cancellation, ventilated and massaging front seats with power bolster adjustment, hands-free liftgate, and 19.2 kW onboard charging—all wrapped in the Sport's darker exterior styling.

The Premium Sport is available only with all-wheel drive and its 515 hp dual-motor powertrain. This configuration balances performance capability with luxury features for drivers who want both sporty aesthetics and refined comfort.

Signature Sport: Complete Sport Package

Signature Sport delivers the full sport experience with all available features. The Augmented Reality Head-Up Display, 22-inch wheels, tri-zone climate control, and heated rear seats join the Premium Sport's equipment list. Obsidian black exterior details maintain the athletic appearance throughout.

Like Premium Sport, the Signature Sport comes exclusively with all-wheel drive and 515 hp. This trim suits buyers who want maximum technology and comfort without stepping up to the performance-focused LYRIQ-V.

LYRIQ-V: Ultimate Performance

The LYRIQ-V stands apart as Cadillac's quickest vehicle ever produced. The dual-motor all-wheel drive system generates 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque with Velocity Max mode engaged. Acceleration from 0 to 96 km/h takes just 3.3 seconds—faster than any Escalade-V or CT5-V Blackwing.

Continuous Damping Control suspension specifically calibrated for the LYRIQ-V adjusts damping rates in real time to balance performance handling with ride comfort. Brembo performance front brake calipers provide strong, fade-resistant stopping power during spirited driving. Available caliper colours include blue and red, both featuring the V-Series logo.

V-Mode gives instant access to your preferred performance settings through a dedicated steering wheel button. This system stores your choices for drive mode, suspension settings, and even the V-Series sound experience—a multi-layered audio signature synchronized between interior and exterior. Competitive Mode unlocks additional traction management features engineered to extract maximum performance from the chassis.

The LYRIQ-V's exterior design includes a unique lower front fascia, chin spoiler, body-coloured rockers, and V-pattern mesh on the front grille. Twenty-two-inch wheels with dark sport finish and etched V-Series logos come with summer tires as standard, with all-season tires available. A black painted roof comes standard. Magnus Metal Frost, an exclusive limited exterior colour, offers a distinctive appearance.

Inside, the V-Series steering wheel features sculpted hand grips, a V-Mode button, and an aluminum Regen On Demand paddle. Power-adjustable seat bolsters let you dial in lateral support for the driver and front passenger seatbacks and cushions. Paperwood décor, available Nappa leather seating, and V-pattern embroidery on the seatbacks reinforce the performance character.

The LYRIQ-V shares the LYRIQ's core technology platform—33-inch curved LED display, Google built-in, 23-speaker AKG audio system with Dolby Atmos, panoramic fixed glass roof, and the dual-plane Augmented Reality Head-Up Display. Super Cruise hands-free driving remains standard with a 3-year trial.

Range for the LYRIQ-V measures up to 459 km on a full charge, reduced from the standard LYRIQ's figures due to the high-performance powertrain and larger wheels. The 102 kWh battery pack supports DC fast charging up to 190 kW, adding approximately 120 km of range in 10 minutes at compatible charging stations.

LYRIQ-V Exclusive Features:

• 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque (Velocity Max)
• 0–96 km/h in 3.3 seconds
• Continuous Damping Control suspension
• Brembo performance front brake calipers
• V-Mode performance customization
• Competitive Mode traction management
• Unique V-Series exterior and interior styling
• 22-inch wheels with V-Series logo
• Multi-layered V-Series sound experience

Choosing Your LYRIQ

The right LYRIQ depends on your priorities. Luxury and Sport trims deliver strong value with comprehensive standard equipment. Both offer the choice between efficient rear-wheel drive and powerful all-wheel drive, making them suitable for different driving conditions across Quebec.

Premium Luxury and Premium Sport add meaningful comfort upgrades—better audio, ventilated seats, faster charging, and hands-free cargo access. These features improve daily usability without a large price increase over the base trims.

Signature Luxury and Signature Sport represent the complete luxury electric SUV experience. The Augmented Reality Head-Up Display, 22-inch wheels, tri-zone climate, and heated rear seats create a vehicle with no significant compromises. Signature models suit buyers who want every available technology and comfort feature.

The LYRIQ-V targets a different buyer—someone who values performance as much as luxury. With acceleration that rivals dedicated sports cars and handling dynamics tuned for enthusiastic driving, the V-Series model competes with vehicles like the BMW iX M60 and Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV. The LYRIQ-V still provides luxury materials, advanced technology, seating for five, and over 1,700 litres of cargo space, making it practical for daily use despite its performance focus.
