Cadillac LYRIQ vs. Cadillac OPTIQ: Which Fully Electric Luxury SUV Should You Buy?
Electric cars are becoming more ubiquitous as people learn about their many advantages. Mansfield drivers will appreciate their quiet, efficient performance and snappy acceleration. EVs require less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles because they don't need oil changes or radiator flushes. Wooster, OH drivers may even be able to receive income tax credits for purchasing electric cars.
Graham Cadillac has the new Cadillac LYRIQ for sale in our new inventory, and the new Cadillac OPTIQ will be arriving soon. We developed the following comparison of these two electric luxury crossovers to help you decide between them.
Size
The most obvious difference between the new Cadillac LYRIQ and the new Cadillac OPTIQ is size. The OPTIQ is nearly seven inches shorter than the LYRIQ, so it's a bit easier to maneuver through narrow lanes in Medina, OH. However, the LYRIQ's longer wheelbase enables a calmer, gentler ride.
Passenger Space
While both electric SUVs have seating for five, the new Cadillac LYRIQ offers more room to stretch out. It has 39.6 inches of rear legroom, compared to 37.8 inches of second-row legroom in the Cadillac OPTIQ.
Cargo Room
Ashland, OH drivers who often haul luggage or sports gear in their SUVs will likely prefer the new Cadillac LYRIQ. It has 28 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and 60.8 cubic feet of room with the second-row seats folded. The new Cadillac OPTIQ has 26 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and 57 cubic feet of room with the rear seats down.
Driving Range
One of the most crucial factors to consider when buying a fully electric vehicle is its driving range because you don't want to stop too often to recharge its battery. People in Canton, OH will appreciate that the new Cadillac LYRIQ can travel up to 307 miles on a full charge when properly equipped. The new Cadillac OPTIQ can go up to 300 miles on a single charge with the right configuration.
Recharging Times
When you do have to recharge, it's best if you can add range quickly. Mansfield, OH drivers can add 79 miles of range to the new Cadillac OPTIQ's battery in 10 minutes at a DC fast charging station. You can replenish about 77 miles of range to the LYRIQ's battery in 10 minutes using a DC fast charger.
Towing Capacity
If you need to pull small boats or campers to Wooster, go with the new Cadillac LYRIQ. It can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. The new Cadillac OPTIQ has a 1,500-pound towing capacity.
Panoramic Glass Roof
The new Cadillac OPTIQ comes standard with a fixed glass panoramic roof that brightens the cabin on clear days in Medina, OH. The new Cadillac LYRIQ offers an available panoramic sunroof, but you must pay more to add it.
Advanced Active Safety Features
Both the new Cadillac LYRIQ and Cadillac OPTIQ come with a plethora of standard driver assistance features to help keep you safe on the road in Ashland, OH, and beyond. The OPTIQ comes standard with the Super Cruise hands-free driving system. Super Cruise is optional in the LYRIQ.
