Cadillac LYRIQ vs. the Competition: Which Lavish Luxury EV Offers More Excitement?

Electric luxury vehicles allow you to lessen your carbon footprint while enjoying plush materials and pioneering technology. The new Cadillac LYRIQ offers everything you want in a luxury EV, with a refined, tech-rich interior and energetic acceleration. Competitors like the Tesla Model Y and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV come close, but they don't offer the complete package you'll get with the LYRIQ. At Jeff Drennen Cadillac in Zanesville, OH, our goal is your complete satisfaction, so we created the following comparison to help you choose your ideal electric luxury SUV.

Mercedes-Benz EQE

Performance

The Cadillac LYRIQ provides three powertrain options to get the passing power, efficiency, or traction you desire. The LYRIQ-V, with its dual-motor AWD powertrain, can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds - plenty of zip for merging onto highways around Newark, OH. Power outputs include:

  • Single-motor RWD: 365 horsepower
  • Dual-motor AWD: 515 horsepower
  • Dual-motor AWD LYRIQ-V: 615 horsepower

Competitors:

    • Tesla Model Y: Also offers three powertrains, ranging from 295 horsepower in the Long Range RWD trim to 510 horsepower in Performance AWD models. Top 0-60 mph speed of 3.3 seconds.
    • Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: Three powertrains to choose from, with outputs ranging from 315 to 617 horsepower. Its best 0-60 mph time is 3.4 seconds.

Verdict: While all three SUVs come with your choice of three powertrains and RWD or AWD, the Cadillac LYRIQ delivers more available horsepower than the Tesla Model Y and a slightly faster 0-60 time than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.

Interior Space

Whether gas or electric-powered, a good luxury SUV should provide ample space for passengers and cargo. The new Cadillac LYRIQ offers lots of space for Lancaster, OH drivers to stretch out, with 44.3 inches of front legroom. It also gives you plenty of room to store luggage or sports gear behind the rear row of seats, with 28 cubic feet of space when the back seats are upright.

Competitors:

  • Tesla Model Y: Front seat occupants have only 41.8 inches of legroom. There's also 27 to 29 cubic feet of storage space behind the back row, depending on configuration.
  • Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: Front-seat riders have just 40.6 inches to rest their legs. Also, there's only 14 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats to stow cargo.

Verdict: The Cadillac LYRIQ offers more front legroom than either the Tesla Model Y or the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. It also has more cargo space behind its rear seats than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.

Technology

A quality infotainment system provides numerous features to keep you entertained without being complicated to run while you're cruising through Columbus, OH. The new Cadillac LYRIQ comes with a 33-inch instrument panel and infotainment display. The system includes both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration along with a Google voice assistant for hands-free operation.

Competitors:

  • Tesla Model Y: The base Model Y features a 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, but it doesn't support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Its system takes a lot of attention to scroll through the settings and tap the desired icon, especially while driving.
  • Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV comes with a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, but there are so many choices on the two screens that it can be difficult to find particular settings.

Verdict: The Cadillac LYRIQ's standard 33-inch LED display combines the infotainment and digital instrument functions onto one seamless screen for easier access than you'll get from the Tesla Model Y or Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV with their dual displays. Voice control from the Google Assistant makes it a cinch to operate while driving.
