The automaker’s European subsidiary is introducing the all-new 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V during the week of the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most iconic motorsport events worldwide, taking place on Saturday, June 14th in the city of the same name in France. As such, the 2026 Lyriq-V is officially introduced to the European continent, elevating Cadillac’s luxury and high-performance standards for the first time in the region.

“With Lyriq-V, we’re delivering the boldest expression yet of Cadillac’s electric vision for Europe – fast, luxurious, high-tech, and unmistakably Cadillac,” said GM Europe Managing Director and President, Pere Brugal. “The decision to unveil this model at Le Mans was intentional – a tribute to our racing legacy and a demonstration of how the insights gained on the track can shape the future of electric mobility,” he added.

The all-new 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V is not only the first all-electric V-Series model and the fastest vehicle in Cadillac history, but it also becomes the first model in the high-performance lineup that the brand officially introduces in Europe. In fact, the European debut of the 2026 Lyriq-V pays homage to Cadillac’s racing heritage by debuting during the week of the world’s most iconic and renowned endurance race.

Designed for European drivers seeking an uncompromising high-performance electric vehicle, the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V stands out with its dual-motor AWD powertrain developing 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet or 880 Nm of torque, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.3 seconds with Velocity Max mode activated. Meanwhile, the 102 kWh battery pack offers a range of 460 km or 285 miles on a full charge.

The all-new 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V will be on display starting this week directly on the track at the 2025 Le Mans and at the Cadillac City Paris in the French capital, offering regional audiences their first up-close look at the boldest expression of the luxury brand’s electric portfolio to date. The brand is now taking reservations for the 2026 Lyriq-V in Germany, France, and Switzerland, with first deliveries expected in November.

For reference, the starting price of the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V in Germany is €108,809, or about $124,390 USD at the current exchange rate.
