Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac LYRIQ offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Forester, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac LYRIQ and the Subaru Forester.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac LYRIQ will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Subaru Forester, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac LYRIQ is much wider than the Subaru Forester, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Cadillac LYRIQ, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Subaru Forester.

Handling
The Cadillac LYRIQ has a significantly larger turning radius than the Subaru Forester, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac LYRIQ greatly out-muscles the Subaru Forester.

Powertrain
The Cadillac LYRIQ has much lower torque than the Subaru Forester, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac LYRIQ and the Subaru Forester. The Cadillac LYRIQ has less cargo space than the Subaru Forester, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
