Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura MDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Cadillac LYRIQ, with comparable head- and legroom. The Cadillac LYRIQ will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Acura MDX.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Acura MDX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Cadillac LYRIQ.

Dimensions
The Acura MDX is a little wider than the Cadillac LYRIQ, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Acura MDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Cadillac LYRIQ.

Handling
The Acura MDX has the same turning radius as the Cadillac LYRIQ, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Acura MDX has a little less horsepower than the Cadillac LYRIQ.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Acura MDX does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Cadillac LYRIQ.

Utility
