What’s new on the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ?
The 2026 LYRIQ maintains its 2025 specification. This includes the wide-format display screen spanning the dashboard, hands-free highway driving technology, and battery capacity supporting daily driving throughout southwestern Ontario. The platform remains unchanged, providing established performance and features that current owners have trusted.
Technology
The 33-inch display operates Cadillac’s infotainment platform with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Navigation maps and vehicle settings appear on the same screen surface. A 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system is available for upgraded sound quality. Super Cruise provides hands-free driving capability on compatible divided highways throughout Canada, including Highway 401 sections near Windsor.
The system uses GPS mapping and camera monitoring to maintain lane position and speed. A head-up display projects speed and navigation directions onto the windshield glass. Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking that can detect vehicles and pedestrians, lane keeping assist that provides steering corrections, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert, and a surround-view camera system showing all four sides of the vehicle. Adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts following distance. Parking assist can execute parallel and perpendicular parking manoeuvres with limited driver input. Remote commands through a smartphone application allow functions such as climate pre-conditioning and charge monitoring. Over-the-air updates deliver software improvements without requiring dealership visits.
Exterior
The LYRIQ adopts a streamlined front design featuring vertical lighting signatures instead of a conventional grille opening. The closed fascia incorporates illuminated elements that create a distinct appearance after dark. A sloping roofline extends rearward, ending in a compact rear hatch section. Ground clearance provides SUV proportions while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency. Wheel options span 20-inch to 22-inch diameters depending on trim selection. The charge port sits on the driver’s front fender panel for accessible connection at public charging stations or home installations. Rear lighting elements mirror the vertical front signature, creating visual consistency.
Interior
The cabin centres on a 33-inch diagonal LED screen that stretches from the driver’s sightline across to the front passenger area. This single panel handles driver information and entertainment system controls through one interface. Seating surfaces use leather materials, with front positions offering heating, ventilation, and massage functions for Windsor’s variable climate conditions. A fixed panoramic glass roof provides overhead visibility without opening panels. Second-row passengers access separate climate controls. Behind the rear seats, cargo volume measures 793 litres, expanding when the second row folds flat for larger items. Open-pore wood trim appears on door panels and the dashboard. Ambient lighting offers 64 colour selections.
Engine and Powertrain
The LYRIQ provides rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. Rear-wheel drive models use a single electric motor producing 340 hp. All-wheel drive versions add a front motor, raising combined output to 500 hp. The battery pack holds 102 kWh of usable capacity. Rear-wheel drive variants achieve an estimated range of 530 kilometres on a full charge, while all-wheel drive models reach approximately 483 kilometres. DC fast charging capability peaks at 190 kW, adding roughly 122 kilometres of range in 10 minutes under optimal conditions. Level 2 home charging through a 240-volt connection requires approximately 10 hours for a complete charge cycle from depleted to full.
Versions
Luxury trim serves as the entry specification, including the 33-inch display, leather seating surfaces, tri-zone climate control, and the complete suite of safety technology. Sport trim adds performance-focused exterior components, unique wheel designs, and sport-calibrated suspension tuning. Both trim levels offer rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. Optional packages build on these foundations with enhanced Super Cruise capability covering more road types, the upgraded AKG audio system, and additional driver assistance features. Exterior colours include several metallic paint finishes. Interior upholstery choices and trim materials provide personalization options.
