More drivers are opting for an electric vehicle as their next car. Among the choices are the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ and the Tesla Model Y. Which one provides superior performance and is the recommended option for EV buyers? Here’s a comparison of the relevant areas of performance and features.
Performance Features
One notable performance feature in the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ is the brand’s One-Pedal Driving with Regen on Demand™. Combined with the dual motors and all-wheel-drive, this helps the EV produce up to 500 hp and provides exceptional handling, especially when slowing down. No such feature exists for the Tesla Model Y.
Safety Technology
Both the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ and Tesla Model Y have similar safety features that come standard. For instance, both come with lane departure warning, stability control, and a backup camera as standard. The Cadillac LYRIQ, however, also includes rear cross-traffic alert as standard, which isn’t available for the Tesla Model Y. The former model has these safety technologies as part of its Cadillac Smart System.
Tire Quality
Generally, larger wheels provide better traction. Beefy 20-inch wheels come standard for the Cadillac LYRIQ, versus 19-inch wheels for the Tesla Model Y. In addition, with the Sport and Luxury trims, 22-inch wheels are available. For the Tesla Model Y, 21-inch wheels are the largest available wheels. That’s not all; the Cadillac LYRIQ wheels have six lugs, compared to five for the Tesla Model Y. While this may seem minor, more lugs mean longer wheel bearing life.
