Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac LYRIQ offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Ascent, 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 Ascent.

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 Ascent, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac LYRIQ is much wider than the Subaru Ascent, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac LYRIQ takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Subaru Ascent.

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

Performance
The Cadillac LYRIQ has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Ascent.

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

Utility
The Cadillac LYRIQ has less seating than the Subaru Ascent, making the Subaru Ascent the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Cadillac LYRIQ has less cargo space than the Subaru Ascent, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
