You don't have to buy a German import to get a refined electric luxury SUV. The new Cadillac LYRIQ has sublime styling and an expansive driving range. Baltimore drivers will like its available Super Cruise hands-free driving system. The Audi Q8 e-tron is also a fully electric luxury SUV with a nice interior, but it's not as well-rounded as the LYRIQ. Fitzgerald Cadillac of Frederick presents the following comparison to help you decide for yourself.
Driving Range
If you often journey far from Bethesda, you'll want an SUV that doesn't need to be recharged too often. The new Cadillac LYRIQ can go up to 314 miles on a single charge when equipped with the standard rear-wheel drive single-motor powertrain. The new Audi Q8 e-tron has a maximum driving range of around 300 miles on a full charge in Sportback models.
Cargo Space
You'll need space to stow your luggage or sports gear on excursions to Silver Spring, and the new Cadillac LYRIQ has plenty of room. It has 28 cubic feet of space behind the second row and 60.8 cubic feet of room with the rear seats folded down. The new Audi Q8 e-tron only has 56.5 cubic feet of cargo space with its back seats folded.
Infotainment
The new Cadillac LYRIQ comes standard with a 33-inch display that serves as a digital gauge cluster and a user-friendly infotainment system. Alexandria, VA drivers will like its Google Assistant feature for hands-free operation of many functions. The new Audi Q8 e-tron's standard infotainment touchscreen is only 10.1 inches long.
Safety
The new Cadillac LYRIQ comes with six standard driver assistance features, including blind-spot intervention. This feature automatically steers the LYRIQ back into its lane if you try to change lanes while another vehicle is in your blind spot. The new Audi Q8 e-tron only has five standard advanced active safety features, and blind-spot intervention is not available.
