Frequently Asked Questions

Among Cadillac's electric SUVs, the ESCALADE IQ carries the highest figure, which Cadillac estimates at up to 465 miles on a full charge. The LYRIQ is EPA-estimated at up to 326 miles on its longest-range trim, and the OPTIQ at up to 317 miles in single-motor rear-wheel-drive form. Our individual model research pages break each one down by trim and drivetrain.

The OPTIQ is the smaller and more affordable of the two, built for tighter city driving, while the LYRIQ is a larger midsize SUV with more interior room and a longer maximum range. Our OPTIQ versus LYRIQ comparison puts their size, range, pricing and feature content side by side.
