Continue reading below to learn more about how the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is currently the best large luxury electric SUV in  the market and why you should visit Key Cadillac in Yorkton, SK for a test drive, today! 

Cadillac Lyriq vs. Tesla Model X 

When customers think of electric vehicles (EVs), most think of the brand that popularized EVs in the mainstream market, Tesla. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq directly competes with the 2023 Tesla Model X in the large electric luxury SUV segment. Both vehicles are similar in size, cargo space and seat five passengers comfortably. It must be noted, however, that the interior cabins of the two vehicles differ greatly, with the Model X adopting a minimalist design aesthetic, while the Lyriq continues with Cadillac’s reputation of delivering finely crafted interior cabins with genuine materials used throughout . Another considerable difference is the starting MSRP of both vehicles, with the Model X starting at $156,000, over double the price of the Cadillac Lyriq. Customers who place more importance on value over performance would be hard pressed to choose the Tesla over the Cadillac. 

Cadillac Lyriq vs. Audi E-Tron

Another highly competitive rival to the Cadillac Lyriq is the 2023 Audi E-Tron. Having been available in the market for a handful of years, the E-Tron is beginning to show its age when it comes to battery technology and available range. Although both vehicle’s share roughly the same curb weight and battery size, the older battery technology used in the Audi E-Tron results in a drastically lower available driving range at a full charge. With a starting price difference of over $15,000, the Lyriq once again proves to be the more value driven option for EV customers looking for a luxury SUV with competitive range and performance metrics.

Cadillac Lyriq vs. Mercedes-Benz EQS 

A luxury vehicle comparison is not complete without an entrant from the Mercedes-Benz brand. Also brand new for the 2023 model year, the EQS is the German luxury automaker’s first offering in the large electric SUV segment. Posting similar performance numbers when compared to the Cadillac Lyriq, the EQS falls short in the comparison as the considerably higher price point and lower maximum range figures. Starting at over double the price of the Cadillac Lyriq, one might expect a better performing vehicle with more power, range and a higher top speed, however, the EQS fails to deliver on all of those fronts. In fact, even though the Mercedes-Benz has a larger dual motor battery configuration, it only delivers 15 more horsepower and over 60km less range than the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq. 

Cadillac Lyriq vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E

Another All-American rival to the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-e. Available in four different trim levels, the base Mach-e drastically undercuts the Lyriq in price, however, for Mach-e drivers to get similar performance and range metrics as the Lyriq, the mid-trim options are more aligned to the starting price of the Cadillac Lyriq. Drivers looking for a performance-oriented electric SUV may find the Mustang Mach-e GT Performance Edition appealing, however, with a starting price over $25,000 more than the Cadillac Lyriq, it’s a tough sell. Especially considering the drastically reduced range, lower top speed and the lack of luxury amenities found in the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq.
