2027 Cadillac Lyriq: prices, EPA range, charging speed and what the NACS port changes

© cadillac.com

The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq costs $200 more than last year’s car, and almost all of that premium comes down to a single detail: the crossover now has a built-in NACS connector instead of CCS1. The entry-level rear-drive Luxury is listed at $59,400 before delivery, or $61,195 with the mandatory $1795 fee. Orders in the US are already open.

What the built-in NACS port changes

The standard J3400 port, better known as NACS, lets the crossover plug into compatible fast chargers — including more than 25,000 Tesla Supercharger stalls across North America — without the old adapter. The NACS adapters themselves, both the DC unit and the Level 2 one, have been retired: the GM-approved accessory list now covers CCS1 DC, J1772 AC and PowerShift AC charging instead. As the move from CCS1 to a NACS inlet was flagged back in the spring, the new connector does nothing for charging speed. A GM spokesperson told Electrek that every 2027 model from the company, Chevrolet and GMC included, will get a native NACS port.

Charging at 190 kW and EPA range

Peak DC charging power stays at 190 kW: ten minutes on a compatible station add up to 86 miles (138 km) to a rear-drive Lyriq, and the battery is unchanged at 102 kWh. EPA range reaches 326 miles (525 km) in RWD form and 319 miles (513 km) with all-wheel drive and the standard 11.5 kW onboard charger. Specify the optional 19.2 kW unit on an AWD car and the figure drops to 303 miles (488 km).

How much the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq costs

The Sport asks $61,695, the Premium Luxury $65,195, the Premium Sport $65,695, the Signature Luxury $69,795 and the Signature Sport $70,295 — all with delivery included. Two motors and all-wheel drive add $3500, which puts a Luxury AWD at $64,695. The Lyriq-V is the exception, since it comes with all-wheel drive from the start: the standard car is $80,495 and the Premium $85,695. For the V models, though, the year-on-year increase was smaller — around $105 rather than $200.

The US line-up keeps the 365 hp rear-drive setup and the 515 hp dual-motor version. The Lyriq-V delivers up to 615 hp in Velocity Max, reaches 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.3 seconds and covers up to 285 miles (459 km) on the EPA cycle. The Chinese take on the model, unveiled at the Beijing motor show, differs in powertrain tuning and output.

Cadillac has also reshuffled equipment on the pricier trims. The augmented-reality head-up display is no longer listed as standard on the Signature Luxury and Signature Sport; it is now fitted as standard only to the Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium. Super Cruise, the curved 33-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and V2H home backup power all remain on the standard equipment list. The phone mirroring deserves a second look: the 2027 Lyriq stays the last GM electric vehicle in North America to offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both wired and wirelessly. The palette has changed too, gaining Cashmere, Blue Graphite Tricoat and Midnight Stone Frost while Nimbus Metallic, Magnus Metal Frost and Celestial Metallic are gone.

So the Lyriq does not charge any faster and does not get a bigger battery. The extra $200 buys convenience above all: the owner no longer needs a separate adapter to use NACS infrastructure.
