The official launch price is from $99,000 plus on-road costs for a dual-motor all-wheel-drive SUV with 459 kW, 880 Nm and a claimed 3.6-second 0–100 km/h time in Velocity Max.

The delivery timing comes from a Cadillac Australia spokesperson. Official pricing and specification were first published when Cadillac unveiled the Lyriq-V here on 18 September 2026, with the $99,000 figure described as an indicative MSRP, including GST and luxury car tax but excluding on-road costs, and subject to final confirmation at launch. Final drive-away pricing will vary by state and specification.
The Lyriq-V is the first electric V-Series model, and sits above the standard Lyriq Sport, which Cadillac priced from $90,000 plus on-roads for 2027. Both use a 92 kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive. The V-Series adds a lowered sport suspension with Continuous Damping Control adaptive dampers, red Brembo performance front brakes with 390 mm rotors, 22-inch wheels, V-Mode with Velocity Max, Competitive Mode and Launch Control, and a claimed 210 km/h top speed. Official charging figures include 130 kW DC, 22 kW three-phase AC and 7.4 kW single-phase AC. Claimed WLTP range is 471 km.
Inside, Australian cars are specified with Noir Nappa leather and Sky Cool Grey accents, a V-Series steering wheel, a 33-inch display with Google built-in and a 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system. The official ownership package is a five-year unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty, an eight-year or 160,000 km battery warranty, and servicing every 24 months or 24,000 km.
The smaller Optiq-V has been ruled out for Australia. The three-row Vistiq is a separate model, with customer deliveries still ahead of it. Anyone already shopping a Lyriq should also be aware of the separate low-speed braking software recall now applying to certain Lyriq and Vistiq vehicles.
