Cadillac has developed one of the most extensive electric vehicle lineups in the luxury market, and its 2027 Canadian range gives buyers several very different ways to make the transition to electric driving.
At one end of the lineup, the Cadillac OPTIQ delivers compact dimensions and an approachable entry point. The LYRIQ occupies the heart of the range with more interior space and a two-row luxury SUV format. The VISTIQ moves into three-row territory for up to seven passengers with standard all-wheel drive. Performance is further enhanced through V-Series models on OPTIQ and LYRIQ.
For drivers in Pincourt, Île-Perrot, Vaudreuil-Soulanges and the West Island of Montréal, here is a detailed look at the 2027 lineup.
2027 Cadillac OPTIQ: The Compact Entry Into Cadillac EV Luxury
The 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ is the smallest electric SUV in the lineup, but its specifications are anything but modest. The five-passenger OPTIQ combines compact exterior dimensions with a spacious interior offering up to 1,614 litres of cargo capacity.
The rear-wheel-drive configuration provides up to 510 kilometres of estimated range. Dual-motor AWD develops 440 horsepower and 498 lb-ft of torque, providing strong acceleration and four-season capability. Standard features include the 33-inch Horizon Display, 19-speaker AKG Studio audio, NACS port, and Super Cruise hands-free assistance.
2027 Cadillac OPTIQ-V: Performance Changes the Formula
The OPTIQ-V transforms Cadillac's compact electric SUV into a genuine V-Series model. Its dual-motor AWD system produces up to 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max, accelerating from 0 to 96 km/h in 3.5 seconds with Launch Control.
It includes Continuous Damping Control, Brembo six-piston front brakes, V-Mode, Competitive Mode and specific chassis tuning. Despite its performance, the OPTIQ-V maintains an estimated range of up to 447 kilometres.
2027 Cadillac LYRIQ: The Centre of the Electric Lineup
The LYRIQ remains a core model in Cadillac's electric portfolio. It is larger than the OPTIQ, retaining a two-row, five-passenger configuration with maximum cargo capacity reaching 1,722 litres.
For 2027, the LYRIQ offers up to 525 kilometres of estimated range in rear-wheel drive, while available dual-motor AWD increases output to 515 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. The LYRIQ serves as an appealing midsize balance between the OPTIQ and VISTIQ.
Technology and Fast Charging in the LYRIQ 2027
The 2027 LYRIQ combines its standard NACS charging port with available 19.2-kW AC charging and DC fast charging up to 190 kW. On a compatible DC fast charger, it can recover approximately 138 kilometres of range in about 10 minutes.
Inside, the LYRIQ features the 33-inch 9K Horizon Display with Google built-in (now incorporating Google Gemini voice assistance). 126-colour Radiance Lighting, AKG Studio audio and Super Cruise are also included.
2027 Cadillac LYRIQ-V: Electric V-Series Performance
The LYRIQ-V gives the regular LYRIQ a significantly more aggressive personality. Velocity Max allows the dual-motor powertrain to produce up to 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, yielding a 0 to 96 km/h sprint in 3.3 seconds.
Continuous Damping Control suspension and Brembo six-piston front brakes enhance handling. The LYRIQ-V delivers up to 459 kilometres of estimated range.
2027 Cadillac VISTIQ: Three Rows and Standard AWD
The VISTIQ is built for buyers needing expanded seating. It provides three rows for up to seven occupants and up to 2,271 litres of cargo space. Standard dual-motor AWD produces 615 horsepower in Velocity Max, achieving 0–96 km/h in 3.7 seconds with up to 491 kilometres of driving range.
The cabin includes heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, five-zone climate control and a Power SkyGlass roof. To simplify maneuvering, the VISTIQ offers available Active Rear Steering and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.
