Cadillac Lyriq-V Weighs In: Nearly 2.7 Tonnes, $99,000, and the Fastest Cadillac Yet

Cadillac’s quickest production model to date is an electric SUV, and it carries a kerb weight of close to 2.7 tonnes alongside a starting price around $99,000. The Lyriq-V pairs that considerable mass with the kind of straight-line performance the brand’s V badge has long promised.

For Australian buyers, the question is less about output than about fit. A vehicle this heavy and this expensive has to justify itself on roads that are often narrower and more demanding than the wide, straight stretches where big electric SUVs tend to shine.

Details on how the Lyriq-V is positioned against its rivals, and what it offers in practical terms, are covered in the video breakdown below.
