Comparing the Cadillac Lyriq with the Mercedes-Benz EQE

Cadillac LYRIQ vs. Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: Which EV Offers the Best Value?

If you believe that an electric luxury SUV should be both opulent and practical, the new Cadillac LYRIQ fits the bill. This posh EV has a quiet, attractive cabin and a respectable driving range. The new Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV also has a serene, refined interior, but it falls short of the LYRIQ in a few key areas. At Red Noland Cadillac in Colorado Springs, CO, we want you to be completely pleased with your electric luxury vehicle. We created the following comparison to help you decide for yourself which electric SUV best fits your lifestyle.

Performance

Driving Range

Driving range is one of the most important considerations when buying an EV, because you don't want to have to stop for a recharge too often on long trips. The new Cadillac LYRIQ offers a range of up to 326 miles per charge when properly equipped. This American-made luxury SUV also offers access to the Tesla Supercharger network, so there's always a charging station nearby - even when you're far from Colorado Springs. With a DC fast-charger, you can replenish the battery from 9% to 81% in just 31 minutes.

The new Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV provides an EPA-estimated maximum driving range of just 308 miles on a single charge. It takes about 32 minutes to recharge its battery from 10% to 80%.

Power and Acceleration

If you have a need for speed, the new Cadillac LYRIQ can satisfy your cravings. The dual-motor LYRIQ V generates 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. This model provides ample get-up-and-go for passing on I-25 in Colorado Springs, with a zero to 60 MPH time of 3.3 seconds.

The high-performance Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV delivers a combined 617 horsepower. However, because of its heavier curb weight, it takes 3.4 seconds to reach 60 MPH from a standstill.

Ride Quality

The new Cadillac LYRIQ rides very smoothly, especially when equipped with the standard 20-inch wheels. It also has very little lean or roll when going around turns.

The new Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV mostly stays composed in corners, but its ride can feel a bit too firm over choppy surfaces.

Interior and Technology

Cargo Space

Whether you're traveling across the Rocky Mountains or loading up purchases from Chapel Hills Mall in Colorado Springs, you'll need room to store your road-trip essentials or shopping bags. The new Cadillac LYRIC provides 28 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seats and 60.8 cubic feet with the back seats folded.

The new Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has just 14 cubic feet of space behind its rear seats. Folding the rear row down expands its cargo area to 55 cubic feet.

Infotainment and Instrument Displays

The new Cadillac LYRIQ comes standard with a 33-inch LED display that serves as both a digital gauge cluster and central infotainment screen. Its brilliant graphics and Google-based software make the system a cinch to operate while running errands in Colorado Springs.

The new Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV comes with a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge display. This system looks good, but there are so many features and options that it can be difficult to find particular settings.
