2024 Cadillac LYRIQ vs. the Competition

With more choices entering the market each year, shoppers are increasingly finding themselves having a more difficult time choosing the right luxury EV for their lifestyle. Ever since it made its debut, the Cadillac LYRIQ has taken the competition by storm and quickly risen to the top of the list of the most popular luxury EVs available on the market today. If you’re still having trouble deciding if the LYRIQ is right for you, you’ve come to the right place! Our team at Germain Cadillac of Easton has created this in-depth comparison in which the Cadillac LYRIQ goes up against two of its biggest rivals – the Audi Q8 e-tron and the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. Which one will finish in first place? Let’s find out!

Cadillac LYRIQ vs Audi Q8 e-tron

In our first matchup, let’s see how the dynamic Cadillac LYRIQ measures up against the formidable Audi Q8 e-tron. For fairness, we’ve taken equivalent entry-level trim levels equipped with all-wheel drive. Naturally, it’s hard to ignore the staggering price advantage you’ll enjoy by choosing Cadillac over Audi. If you’re thinking that spending more will get you more at Audi, you’d be sorely mistaken.

The LYRIQ boasts a significant horsepower advantage, giving you a more engaging experience behind the wheel. In addition to more power, you’ll also enjoy a higher EV driving range, higher combined MPGe fuel economy rating, and significantly faster DC Fast Charging capabilities as compared to the Q8 e-tron.

Other premium features included as standard on every LYRIQ include wireless smartphone charging and significantly more spacious interior dimensions. You’ll also certainly appreciate the larger cargo capacity of the LYRIQ when packing for your next weekend getaway. A complimentary first scheduled maintenance visit and a longer term of roadside assistance coverage are two other reasons to choose Cadillac over Audi.

Cadillac LYRIQ vs Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV

Next up, we’ll see exactly how the Cadillac LYRIQ compares to the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV – another fierce competitor. Similar to the prior matchup, the LYRIQ once again begins with a significant price advantage over the EQE SUV. Comparing the total horsepower outputs of both vehicles, the Cadillac offers nearly double the power of the Mercedes-Benz while still delivering over 40 miles of additional range. Charging up also takes less time thanks to a faster peak charging rate when using DC Fast Charging.

Perhaps the most impressive achievement is the fact that the LYRIQ still delivers superior combined MPGe compared to the EQE SUV despite its noticeable advantage in terms of total horsepower. More robust powertrain warranty coverage and roadside assistance protection provide long-term peace of mind and confidence behind the wheel of the Cadillac LYRIQ as well.

Winner – Cadillac LYRIQ

The results are in! As we’ve seen, the competition from Audi and Mercedes-Benz are simply unable to compete with the remarkable efficiency, jaw-dropping exhilaration, outstanding value, and premium standard features found across the entire Cadillac LYRIQ model range.
