Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac LYRIQ than in the Volvo XC40. 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 Volvo XC40.

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 Volvo XC40, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac LYRIQ is much wider than the Volvo XC40, 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 Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Cadillac LYRIQ has a larger turning radius than the Volvo XC40, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac LYRIQ greatly out-muscles the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
The Cadillac LYRIQ has much lower torque than the Volvo XC40, 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 Volvo XC40. The Cadillac LYRIQ has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volvo XC40.
