Dream car for Friday: Cadillac Lyriq-V is presented - this is when 3.3 seconds dynamics is offered for $80,000

The Lyriq crossover is historically important for Cadillac. At one time, it was the first full-fledged electric vehicle of the manufacturer, which was created separately without reference to any other car with a traditional internal combustion engine. And now it is the first electric vehicle to receive the V designation: meet the "hot" Cadillac Lyriq-V electric crossover!

As is often the case in such cases, the new Cadillac Lyriq-V stands out with only a few noticeable changes: a front bumper with an enlarged lower spoiler, sill plates, a new gray color and 22-inch wheels. A similar atmosphere of restrained luxury and sporty hints reigns in the interior of the Cadillac Lyriq-V electric vehicle, where you can see numerous V-logos and seats with improved adjustable lateral support. It seems like nothing special, but connoisseurs will get the hint!

After all, the most important thing for the Cadillac Lyriq-V electric vehicle is its technical changes. First of all, the power of the two electric motors has increased significantly: now together they deliver 459 kW or 624 hp of power and 880 Nm of torque. Thanks to this, the Cadillac Lyriq-V electric crossover can accelerate from 0-100 mph in just 3.3 seconds, making it a record-breaking performance in the overall Cadillac lineup.

Other changes are also in line with expectations: sharper steering wheel and lower ground clearance, adjustable shock absorbers, Brembo front brakes with larger brake discs, etc. Although the battery remains unchanged, the Cadillac Lyriq-V electric car still offers a 102 kWh battery, which should be enough for a range of up to 459 km according to the rules of the EPA's measuring cycle.

Sales of the novelty will start soon. The price of the Cadillac Lyriq-V electric vehicle is already known: from $80,000 in the United States, which is quite adequate for such power and dynamics.
