2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V Review

Explore the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V Specs and Features in Denton, TX

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ-V has arrived at Tom Clark Cadillac in Denton, TX, and it rewrites expectations for what an electric SUV can be. This is the quickest Cadillac ever built, pairing V-Series engineering with a dual-motor powertrain that produces 615 horsepower in Velocity Max and launches from zero to 60 mph in a Cadillac-estimated 3.3 seconds.
