The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq V has officially arrived, boasting 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. With a 0–60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds, it’s now the fastest production vehicle Cadillac has ever built.
Unmatched Acceleration & Performance
Thanks to its Velocity Max feature, the Lyriq V outpaces the CT5-V Blackwing by a tenth of a second. While the difference may seem small, it marks a major milestone in Cadillac’s transition to high-performance electric vehicles.
Battery, Charging & Range
Equipped with a 102 kWh battery, the Lyriq V offers an estimated range of 285 miles. It supports DC fast charging, adding 75 miles in just 10 minutes, and uses a CCS port instead of Tesla’s NACS standard.
Design & Driving Experience
With 22-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, and a 5-link independent suspension, the Lyriq V delivers a “comfortable yet spirited” ride. It also features artificial engine sounds via external speakers to simulate traditional combustion feedback.
Smart Features & Connectivity
The Lyriq V includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a dedicated V-Mode button for traction control, and a sound experience inspired by Cadillac’s LMDh race cars. It also supports phone mirroring and advanced driver assistance systems.
Legacy & Future Vision
Cadillac teased the Lyriq V in 2024 to celebrate 20 years of the V-Series. It builds on the legacy of the CTS-V and positions Cadillac alongside BMW M and Mercedes AMG in the electric performance segment.
Production & Pricing
The Lyriq V will be manufactured at GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee facility, with production starting in early 2025. The expected starting price is $79,990, making it a competitive option in the luxury EV market.
Final Thoughts
With its blend of speed, luxury, and smart tech, the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq V is a bold step into the future of electric performance. It’s not just about breaking records—it’s about redefining what a luxury EV can be.
