Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus GX 550 than in the Cadillac OPTIQ, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac OPTIQ and the Lexus GX 550.

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). Clearly, the Cadillac OPTIQ is a better financial choice over the Lexus GX 550, when considering MSRP.
