Luxury SUVs offer the latest technology, both inside and under the hood. The Cadillac LYRIQ and Tesla Model Y are two stylish compact SUVs that offer user-friendly features, premium amenities, and an efficient drive.

Which one is right for you? Cavender Cadillac of Lubbock can help you decide. We put this Cadillac LYRIQ vs. Tesla Model Y comparison together to show drivers near Lubbock, Amarillo, and Midland, TX, what each one has to offer.

Performance

With an EPA-estimated range of up to 312 miles and available all-wheel drive, the Cadillac LYRIQ is efficient and capable in many conditions. It delivers a sporty and stable drive with a 5-link front and rear suspension, as well as a driver mode selector. You can even personalize your drive with the following selectable driving modes:

  • Tour
  • Sport
  • Snow/Ice
  • My Mode

The Tesla Model Y also has all-wheel drive, but you'll have to upgrade it to get an EPA-estimated range of more than 303 miles.

Cutting-Edge Cabin Technology

Stepping into the Cadillac LYRIQ is like piloting your own private spaceship. This electric SUV greets you with a choreographed light show as you approach, then continues to impress once you're inside. The classic wood trim on the doors transforms into beautiful backlighting, while the center console consists of a jewelry box design and illuminated controls. You can also customize the atmosphere with adjustable lighting and up to 26 colors to choose from.

However, the main attraction inside the LYRIQ is the curved 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display. It connects the instrument cluster to the infotainment system, and makes your drive more comfortable with the most advanced technology, including:

  • Google Assistantâ„¢
  • Google Mapsâ„¢
  • Google Playâ„¢
  • Apple CarPlay®
  • Android Autoâ„¢

Over-the-air software updates keep your system on top of the latest advancements, while next-generation Active Noise Cancellation lets you hear every call, alert, and song clearly. For superior sound quality, you can also add an AKG studio 19-speaker sound system. It delivers optimal surround sound with strategically placed speakers, including a pair in the front headrests.

The Tesla Model Y also offers smartphone compatibility, but instead of integrating the dashboard and instrument cluster, everything is kept on a single 15-inch monitor in the center of the dash. This makes the system feel cluttered and the rest of the dashboard seem quite empty. Plus, with only 13 speakers, you won't be able to enjoy the same sound quality.

Driver Assistance Features

In addition to all the technology that makes your drive more convenient and more fun, the Cadillac LYRIQ also offers a slew of state-of-the-art safety features. The Cadillac Smart Systemâ„¢ gives you more awareness while you drive, which can help prevent accidents.

For example, the HD Rear Vision Camera gives you more visibility, while Front Pedestrian Braking can automatically stop your vehicle. Some of its other safety features include:

  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Blind Zone Steering Assist
  • Side Bicyclist Alert
  • Rear Cross Traffic Braking

On top of these intelligent safety alerts, the Cadillac LYRIQ can also take the wheel for you. With available hands-free Super Cruiseâ„¢, you can sit back and relax, but always maintain driver attention as you let your Cadillac influence the drive for you.

The Tesla Model Y is also available with an autopilot feature, however, it has significantly fewer safety features overall.
