Cadillac Lyriq vs. Tesla Model Y: Performance 

Performance-wise, the Cadillac Lyriq and Tesla Model Y are in a similar arena. The Tesla Model Y generates up to 384 hp and 376 lb-ft. The Cadillac Lyriq, on the other hand, can generate 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of nearly instantaneous torque, thanks largely to its Ultium Platform battery system developed with LG Chem. Although the Tesla Model Y produces slightly higher horsepower and torque specs than the Cadillac Lyriq, both models exceed 300+ miles in their all-electric ranges. 

Cadillac Lyriq vs. Tesla Model Y: Interior Features

The Tesla Model Y interior is equipped with lavish technologies, such as a 15-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, and a 14-speaker audio system. However, it doesn’t quite measure up to the Cadillac Lyriq’s 33-inch LED display with over 1 billion colors. And, with a 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system with headrest speakers, you and your passengers can expect concert-quality audio from the Cadillac Lyriq. The cabin’s wood veneer with a laser-cut pattern ties the luxury look and feel of the interior together. 

Cadillac Super Cruise™

Going forward, all Cadillacs will offer Super Cruise™ — a hands-free driver assistance technology. Using Super Cruise™, you can travel 200,000+ miles on compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada. Super Cruise™ utilizes Cadillac Connected Services, as well as real-time precise positioning, cameras, sensors, and LiDAR map data to help map out road curves and changes in driving conditions. This feature makes the Cadillac Lyriq not only an exciting addition to the Cadillac lineup, but the EV segment as a whole.
