Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac LYRIQ offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mazda CX-50, with comparable head- and legroom. The Cadillac LYRIQ will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-50.

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 Mazda CX-50, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac LYRIQ is much wider than the Mazda CX-50, 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 Mazda CX-50.

Handling
The Cadillac LYRIQ has a significantly larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-50, 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 Mazda CX-50.

Powertrain
The Cadillac LYRIQ has much lower torque than the Mazda CX-50, 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 Mazda CX-50. The Cadillac LYRIQ has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mazda CX-50.
