2024 Cadillac Lyriq vs. Tesla Model Y and Tesla Model X

Tesla’s Model Y and Model X have been the cornerstone of the EV market and helped push America towards an electric future, but how do they stack up against more recent competition? Cadillac’s Lyriq debuted in 2023 with a focus on providing the powerful luxury experience you love about Cadillac in an all-electric powertrain. The Lyriq offers stiff competition to Tesla’s line of SUVs, ensuring buyers will want to carefully examine all their options before selecting.

EV Performance Comparison

Under the hood of the Lyriq, you’ll find a standard 340-hp electric motor powering the rear axle. It also features a 500-horsepower dual motor with an all-wheel drive powertrain, adding that second motor to the front axle. The Lyriq provides 308 miles or range with the single-motor model and 307 miles or range with the second motor. The entry point to the Tesla Model Y is a 296-hp RWD motor, with other options that will take you up to 384 or 456 horsepower. The Model Y provides 260 miles of range, though the Long Range add-on boosts that to 310 miles of electric range. The Model X takes the cake, albeit at a pricier MSRP, in terms of pure power. The Model X starts with a dual motor 670-hp powertrain that gets 335 miles of range, while the Plaid trim level adds a third motor and increases that speed to 1,020 horses, getting 326 miles of range. If you’re looking for pure, straight-line speed, the X delivers with a 0-60 time of 2.5 seconds. While the Lyriq edges the Model Y out in terms of power, the Model X still reigns supreme in terms of raw power.

Cadillac EV vs. Tesla Interior and Cargo Space

When comparing luxury EVs, cargo space and the materials throughout the cabin heavily contributes to your overall driving experience. Both Teslas feature a modern, minimalist style that the brand is known for. Lacking buttons or dials, keeping your dash clutter-free and centralizing all your controls in the iPad-esque center console. While certainly a bold stylistic choice, the unique design choice at times helps distract from cheaper build quality, materials, and a lack of attention to details throughout the cabin. The Model Y offers 30.2 cubic feet of space with the seats up and 76.2 cubic feet when folded. The Model X provides 37 cubic feet of space with a full house and 85 cubic feet with folded rear seats. When comparing the Lyriq vs. Tesla Model X and Y, you’ll find a more luxurious-looking cabin instead of a minimalist Spartan layout. The cabin has metallic and wood trim throughout the interior leather seats with a pop of blue to brighten the cabin. Instead of Tesla’s square infotainment system, the Lyriq features a 33-inch curved LED touchscreen that serves as the gauge display and the infotainment system. If you miss your buttons and dials, you’ll find the Lyriq integrates them into its sleek design, complementing the sloping touchscreen. While more luxurious and passenger-friendly, the Lyriq offers less cargo space than either Tesla, providing 28 cubic feet with a full house and 60.8 cubic feet when the seats are down.
