Power and Precision

Even with a focus on sustainability, you still demand a high-performance SUV that offers the speed you need and the smooth handling you desire. Uncompromising acceleration and dynamic handling define the Cadillac LYRIQ and the BMW iX. Yet, when it comes to capability, only the LYRIQ gives you the power of choice, thanks to two motor options, compared to the single option with the iX.

The BMW iX may include a dual motor with comparable horsepower, but with two powertrain options, the LYRIQ lets you choose the best fit for your needs. Additionally, the LYRIQ adds more choices with its four selectable drive modes compared to three in the BMW.

Range and Recharging

The ability to drive farther with fewer stops is within reach when you drive the Cadillac LYRIQ or the BMW iX. When it’s time to recharge, you need a vehicle that makes it easy to locate and visit a nearby public charging station. While the LYRIQ and the iX may have some similarities, a quick comparison reveals that not all EVs are created equally.

You can easily plan and track your EV charging through their respective mobile apps. However, Cadillac’s faster charging capabilities and more extensive network of charging stations offer added convenience. Additionally, only the LYRIQ can act as a personal backup generator in case of a power outage, thanks to its impressive vehicle-to-home capabilities.

DNA on Display

First impressions matter, and when you’re behind the wheel of either the Cadillac LYRIQ or the BMW iX, you’re bound to make a memorable one. Both vehicles boast sleek, aerodynamic profiles enhanced by distinctive design elements, such as a standard or available illuminated front grille. While the BMW showcases familiar design cues, the Cadillac pushes the envelope with its cutting-edge design features, such as slim vertical headlights and a standard panoramic fixed glass roof.

Both models offer a palette of classic and contemporary exterior colors, but the LYRIQ stands out with bolder options, such as:

• Opulent Blue
• Radiant Red
• Emerald Lake
• Nimbus
• Celestial

One of the LYRIQ’s most striking features is its choreographed exterior LED lighting, which activates as you approach or depart. This attention to detail exemplifies Cadillac’s commitment to innovation that’s unmatched by the BMW iX.

Comfort and Craftsmanship

Luxury cars come with high expectations, particularly regarding ultra-comfortable interiors crafted from premium materials. The Cadillac LYRIQ and the BMW iX not only meet expectations—they exceed them. Both models feature brand-specific leatherette upholstery, with leather available as an upgrade. Additionally, they offer the following standard and available amenities:

• Power front seats with lumbar and memory
• Heated front seats and steering wheel
• Ventilated front seats
• Multi-zone climate control

The LYRIQ and the iX also offer ambient interior lighting, but only the LYRIQ features an impressive 126 colors, providing a truly personalized driving experience.

Stay Connected Seamlessly

When you’re on the go, staying connected, informed, and engaged is essential. The Cadillac LYRIQ and the BMW iX are equipped with seamless connectivity features, an intuitive user interface, and voice command. Both offer wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as well as wireless phone charging for a truly convenient experience.

Each vehicle delivers an immersive listening experience with its premium surround-sound system. However, the Cadillac LYRIQ edges ahead of the BMW iX in more ways than one.

The extra digital space of the LYRIQ makes it easier to glance at the screen and view data quickly. Plus, the 9K resolution emits over a billion colors to provide the sharpest and most visually crisp display possible.

Drive With Confidence

No technology is more crucial than those that help protect you and your passengers. The Cadillac LYRIQ and the BMW iX prioritize safe travel with their advanced driver-assist systems, which use monitoring technology to send alerts to easy-to-miss hazards. In some conditions, gentle braking or steering assistance may occur to help avoid a collision. Regardless of which SUV you choose, you’ll have standard access to brand-specific versions of these features:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Blind Zone Steering Assist/Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• Park Assist

While the BMW iX offers many similar systems, only the Cadillac LYRIQ includes Super Cruise®, a fully automated driving system. This award-winning system can adjust vehicle speed, keep you centered in your lane, and perform supervised lane changes, allowing you to savor every moment behind the wheel and feel more present in conversations. While the BMW iX offers a similar system, it is only available as an option and lacks the recognition of the standard Super Cruise® system.
