Lyriq gains NACS port as base price ticks up

Cadillac has quietly adjusted pricing for the 2027 Lyriq and updated its charging hardware for the U.S. market. The entry-level Lyriq is about 200 dollars pricier for the new model year, but the headline change is adoption of the North American Charging Standard, or NACS. For EV buyers that matters as much as price because it unlocks seamless access to Tesla Superchargers, which remain the most widespread DC fast-charging network in the United States.

The new order guide also confirms Cadillac will continue to offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a welcome detail for drivers who prioritize in-car connectivity along with electric range and charging convenience.

Why NACS matters

Tesla operates roughly 37,500 Supercharger stalls in the United States and accounts for about half of the country's DC fast-charging ports. Superchargers provide V3 speeds up to 250 kW and V4 configurations capable of 500 kW. With the Lyriq now carrying a native NACS inlet, owners gain more straightforward access to that ecosystem without relying on adapters.

That said, the Lyriq itself charges at up to 190 kW DC. Practical charging numbers put the Lyriq at roughly 86 miles of range added in 10 minutes under ideal conditions, and a 10 to 80 percent charge typically takes 30 to 40 minutes at a compatible DC fast charger.

Pricing, trims and notable options

Including destination freight, the least expensive Lyriq starts at 61,915 dollars. Cadillac offers eight distinct grades: Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury, Premium Sport, Signature Luxury, Signature Sport, Lyriq-V, and Lyriq-V Premium. The two V models are the performance-focused variants and have each increased by 105 dollars versus the prior model year, with the standard Lyriq-V starting at 80,495 dollars.

Standout options and pricing from the order guide include:

Exterior Carbon Fiber Package (production code CFZ): 5,700 dollars. Adds a front splitter, rear valance inserts, and rocker inserts in carbon fiber. Exclusive to Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium.
Dual-panel panoramic power sunroof: 1,600 dollars for certain trims.
Black-painted roof option: 695 dollars.
Nappa leather upholstery: 3,790 dollars when not standard; it is standard on Lyriq-V Premium and optional on Signature trims.
Super Cruise extended access (eight years): 3,000 dollars.
19.2 kW onboard charging module: 1,480 dollars for Premium and Signature trims.

Powertrains and performance cues

Cadillac uses production order codes to identify powertrain and suspension choices. X0D denotes the rear-wheel-drive single-motor configuration, standard on non-V models, while X0E indicates the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. For the V models, FE5 flags the performance suspension and F45 the continuous damping control.

The Lyriq-V is promoted as the quickest Cadillac in the lineup. Cadillac claims a 0 to 60 mph time of about 3.3 seconds in its Velocity Max mode, with peak output estimated near 615 horsepower. That performance comes with a trade-off in range; the Lyriq-V is rated at roughly 285 miles, a figure that trails some competitors but aligns with other high-performance EV crossovers where speed often compromises range.

Market positioning and what buyers should consider

Cadillac is positioning the Lyriq as a premium electric SUV that blends luxury features with usable charging performance. The 190 kW charging ceiling is competitive for mainstream luxury EVs, and native NACS support adds practical value for U.S. buyers who want simple access to Tesla Superchargers.

Buyers weighing a Lyriq purchase should consider:

Trim choice: standard luxury amenities are available, but Signature and V trims add performance and premium materials.
Charging needs: NACS opens up the Supercharger network, and the optional 19.2 kW charger improves home charging speed.
Optional content vs price: the carbon fiber package and Nappa leather elevate the cabin and exterior presence but add several thousand dollars.

Bottom line

A modest price bump is balanced by a meaningful hardware upgrade for U.S. owners. The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq keeps modern connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while NACS adoption and competitive DC fast-charging capability make it more convenient to live with as an electric SUV. For buyers seeking a luxury crossover with accessible charging and a range of performance options, the Lyriq remains a compelling choice—especially if you plan to use fast public chargers frequently.
