Cadillac is entering the electric vehicle market in a big way with the introduction of the Cadillac Vistiq and Cadillac Lyriq. These two new EVs showcase the best of Cadillac's design, technology, and performance. But what sets the Vistiq and Lyriq apart? Let's take a closer look at the key differences between these groundbreaking electric SUVs.
Size and Styling
The Cadillac Vistiq is a compact crossover EV, similar in size to the Cadillac XT4 gas model. It sports a sleek, aerodynamic profile optimized for efficiency. The Vistiq's bold front grille and LED signature lighting make a striking first impression.
In contrast, the Cadillac Lyriq is a midsize SUV EV with a longer wheelbase and more interior space. Its sculpted exterior lines convey a sense of fluidity. The Lyriq's dramatic front end features a black crystal grille and distinctive vertical LED headlamps. If you're in the Brownsville area, both the Vistiq and Lyriq are sure to turn heads on the roads.
Range and Performance
When it comes to electric range, the Lyriq has the edge over the Vistiq. The Cadillac Lyriq is expected to deliver over 300 miles of range on a full charge. That's enough to travel from McAllen to San Antonio and back without stopping to plug in.
The smaller Cadillac Vistiq will likely have a range of around 250-300 miles, still impressive for its segment. Harlingen drivers will appreciate the Vistiq's zippy acceleration and nimble handling around town.
Interior and Technology
Inside the cabin, both the Vistiq and Lyriq will pamper occupants with premium materials and cutting-edge tech features. The Vistiq's cockpit will focus on sporty design and personalization options that drivers in areas like Edinburgh will adore.
The larger Lyriq takes Cadillac luxury to the next level with its spacious, lounge-like interior. A massive 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display spans the front dash, serving as the centerpiece for the Lyriq's tech interface. San Benito residents will look forward to longer drives in the serene, comfortable Lyriq.
Charging and Availability
The Vistiq and Lyriq will both be compatible with DC fast charging, allowing them to add 76 miles of range in about 10 minutes. For home charging, Cadillac will likely offer a 240V wall charger that can replenish the battery overnight. In Rancho Viejo and throughout the Rio Grande Valley, public charging infrastructure is continuing to expand, making it more convenient than ever to drive electric.
Production of the Cadillac Lyriq is slated to begin first, with initial availability in early 2022. The Cadillac Vistiq will follow, likely arriving in late 2022 as a 2023 model. However, you can expect to see both of these groundbreaking EVs at LUKE FRUIA MOTORS in Brownsville soon.
