If you'd like to drive an elegant, high-tech electric luxury SUV, but you don't want to spend your life's savings on one, get the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. It has a suave exterior, a posh cabin, and a competitive driving range. Atlanta, GA drivers will like its coddling ride. The 2024 BMW iX is also a refined electric luxury SUV, but it doesn't offer as much value for the money as the LYRIQ. Classic Cadillac of Atlanta has the LYRIQ in our new inventory, and we created the following comparison to explain why it's the better buy.
Exterior
The 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ has a long, low profile with a raised, abbreviated tail. Its unique lighting signature helps it stand out from other crossovers in Atlanta. The LYRIQ's vertical headlights and taillights frame new interpretations of Cadillac’s classic crest-shaped grille. A sleek, sloping roofline and tastefully styled wheels complete the LYRIQ's striking appearance.
The 2024 BMW iX has controversial styling, with a bulbous, heavy-looking body and a gigantic, plastic faux-grille. The iX's misfitted trim pieces, complicated details, and awkward surfacing tend to give it a polarizing look.
Efficiency
All electric luxury SUVs release zero emissions so they don't contribute to climate change. However, Atlanta drivers also want high efficiency. The 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ earns 97 MPG-equivalent in the city and 82 MPGe on the highway.
The 2024 2024 BMW iX only returns 86 MPG-equivalent in the city and 87 MPGe on the highway in its most efficient configuration.
Passenger Space
You and your passengers will have ample space to kick back and relax in the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. It has 41.4 inches of front legroom and 39.6 inches of legroom in back.
The 2024 BMW iX only has 40.2 inches of front legroom and 38.9 inches to stretch out your legs in the back.
Infotainment System
The 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ has a visually stunning infotainment and gauge cluster combination spread across a single 33-inch display. Its bright graphics, speedy responses to inputs, and physical buttons and knobs make it a cinch for people in Atlanta to operate it while they're driving.
The 2024 BMW iX has a generally intuitive infotainment system, but there are almost no physical buttons or knobs for common adjustments. You have to dig into the on-screen settings, which can be distracting to do while driving.
Automated Hands-Free Driving Feature
Atlanta drivers who tire on long trips will like the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ's available Super Cruise feature. One of the best semi-autonomous driving systems on the market, Super Cruise allows for comfortable hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of North American roads.
The 2024 BMW iX offers a similar partial self-driving feature called Highway Assistant, but it's not as easy to use as the LYRIQ's Super Cruise.
Standard Safety Features
While both the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ and the 2024 BMW iX come with a plethora of standard driver assistance features, the LYRIQ has a couple of amenities that are just optional in the iX. People in Atlanta will appreciate that the LYRIQ comes with a safety alert seat that vibrates to warn them of potential hazards. It also comes with Teen Driver, which lets them set speed and audio volume limits for younger people who may drive the SUV.
