Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac LYRIQ offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Kia Seltos. The Cadillac LYRIQ offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Kia Seltos, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Kia Seltos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac LYRIQ is much wider than the Kia Seltos, 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 Kia Seltos.

Handling
The Cadillac LYRIQ has a significantly larger turning radius than the Kia Seltos, 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 Kia Seltos.

Powertrain
The Cadillac LYRIQ has much lower torque than the Kia Seltos, 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 Kia Seltos. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Cadillac LYRIQ as you will in the Kia Seltos.
