2026 Cadillac LYRIQ Trims Comparison

Which 2026 LYRIQ trim does Edmunds recommend?

Especially now that Super Cruise is standard, the entry-level Lyriq Luxury and Sport are sufficiently well equipped to satisfy most buyers. But if there's room in the budget, we recommend the midlevel Premium trim. For just a little more, it adds ventilated and massaging front seats and an AKG Studio audio system with a whopping 23 speakers, among other luxury upgrades.

2026 LYRIQ trim level differences

The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq is a five-passenger midsize electric SUV. Cadillac splits the lineup into two styles — Luxury and Sport — which each come in three equipment levels: base, Premium and Signature. The Luxury and Sport only differ in that the Luxury has chrome exterior trim, while the Sport has glossy black styling elements and a unique grille. There's also the new high-performance Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium that sit atop the trim ladder and exist outside the Luxury/Sport lines.

A single electric motor (365 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque) is standard on every non-V trim; it's mounted on the rear axle to provide rear-wheel drive. Upgrade to all-wheel drive and you'll add a motor to the front axle, upgrading output to 515 hp and 450 lb-ft. Regardless of drivetrain, every Lyriq draws power from a 102-kWh battery pack. New for 2026 is the Lyriq-V, which boasts 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft from its dual-motor AWD powertrain. Keep reading for our breakdown of the features that come on each Lyriq trim.
