First Drive: Cadillac Lyriq-V Delivers Massive Power but Faces Stiff Electric SUV Competition

While the high-performance electric crossover brings serious straight-line speed and track-tuned hardware, buyers face a steep price premium over standard dual-motor trims. In a crowded luxury EV segment packed with potent rivals, the V-badged cruiser must prove its dynamic chops can justify the extra outlay.
