Technology or brand-heavy? Cadillac LYRIQ vs BMW iX3 Who is stronger?

In recent years, electrification has long become the main theme of the development of the domestic automobile market. Especially after seeing Tesla and the new forces making a lot of money, more and more first- and second-tier luxury brands want to replicate this lying win situation. This is not, BMW, which has always been positioned as a "young fashion", and Cadillac, which has retreated to the second line, but still has a fan's love for the pure electricity market, have become the "scouts" of luxury brands focusing on the field of pure electricity.

Today, Uncle Che invited Cadillac and BMW in the pure electric market to do their best - Cadillac LYRIQ and BMW iX3, which correspond to the price range of 439,700 and 359,990 to 399,900, respectively, from the perspective of positioning, user groups and prices, the two still have a large conflict of interest and are natural enemies. So, when the second line meets the first line, how should users choose, and whose cost performance is higher? Next, let Uncle Che take everyone to find out.

Appearance: Cadillac LYRIQ radical sci-fi

The BMW iX3 is relatively moderate

As the first production car based on the Ultium Electric Vehicle platform, cadillac LYRIQ is full of personality and originality in its exterior design. On the one hand, it retains the classic elements of Cadillac, such as a wide shield-shaped grille, vertical LED headlights, etc., with a sense of American thickness. On the other hand, it also incorporates popular elements of the moment. For example, the luminous line segment LED strip and the regular distribution of the linear array network have obvious new energy style.

In terms of side, Cadillac LYRIQ adopts a flat cross-border design, with a penetrating waistline and a black and white two-color body, which impresses users.

In terms of size, cadillac LYRIQ has a length, width and height of 5003/1977/1637 mm, a wheelbase of 3094mm, a conventional capacity of 556L in the trunk, and a maximum reserve capacity of 1584L after the seat is reclined, which has unparalleled advantages in driving and storage space.

In terms of the rear, cadillac LYRIQ is also full of personality, and the large-angle rear windshield and the novel style of through-the taillights have left a deep impression on the uncle.

Then there is the BMW iX3, which also uses the latest new energy design. The semi-enclosed double kidney grille, the split matrix headlights, and the three-body front surround modified by blue trims all have a distinctly youthful atmosphere.

But compared to cadillac LYRIQ's sideways exaggeration, bmw iX3's sideways performance is relatively flat. Its suspension roof + double waist line body design is a classic SUV design concept.

In terms of size, the BMW iX3 has a length, width and height of 4746/1891/1683 mm, and a wheelbase of 2864 mm, which is relatively general and can only basically solve the space needs of users. In addition, unlike the Cadillac LYRIQ standard heating/ventilation/massage, the BMW iX3 only supports heating functions, and the low-end version also needs to be purchased by yourself. It can be seen that the comfort of the BMW iX3 is also slightly inferior.

In terms of the tail, the BMW iX3 is also "seeking stability in the waves", and the black tail lamp and the diffuser with rich color intensity can show young vitality very well, but it is still slightly "moderate".

Power: Cadillac LYRIQ has obvious endurance advantages

BMW iX3 is highly powered and comprehensive

In terms of power, the LYRIQ is equipped with a rear single motor, with a maximum power of 255 kW, a maximum torque of 440 N·m, and an acceleration time of 6.9 seconds per 100 km/h. Equipped with a ternary lithium battery of 95.7kWh, the cruising range under CLTC conditions exceeds 650 kilometers, which can greatly solve the user's endurance anxiety. It adopts the front and rear double five-link independent suspension, which is regarded as the "top stream" product of the current suspension industry, with excellent smoothness and comfort, and is commonly found in high-end luxury cars.

In contrast, both models of the BMW iX3 are equipped with a rear single motor, with a maximum power of 210 kW, a maximum torque of 400 N·m, and an acceleration time of 6.8 seconds per 100 kilometers. Equipped with 80kWh of ternary lithium batteries, NEDC has a cruising range of 550 kilometers and 535 kilometers respectively, which is the mainstream level of medium-sized SUVs and meets the daily transportation needs of the city.

In terms of suspension, it will provide double-ball spring damping struts + multi-link independent suspension. Among them, the former is an improved version of the McPherson-style independent suspension, which has a good performance for various road feedback and processing, and the shock absorption effect is also an excellent level.

Uncle Che summed up

Whether it is bmw iX3 or Cadillac LYRIQ, it is a response of luxury brands to the era of pure electricity. Although both models are considered to be "late set", but the product performance is indeed online, with the strong brand strength, presumably sales should not be a problem.

Although the Cadillac LYRIQ is indeed tens of thousands of yuan more expensive than the BMW iX3 top, the sci-fi futuristic appearance, large and rich interior space, and excellent endurance make up for the difference in the middle. In addition, Cadillac LYRIQ has always been more preferential, and the price reduction of more than 100,000 yuan can be completely comparable to Jaguar Land Rover.
