The Cadillac Lyric is classified as a battery-operated midsize luxury crossover SUV, and tips the scales at 5,688 pounds in rear-wheel-drive configuration. Add all-wheel-drive and that figure jumps to 5,915 pounds (that’s over twice the weight of a Kia Soul). The Lyric is 196.7 inches long, 77.8 inches wide, 63.9 inches tall, and rolls on a 121.8-inch wheelbase.
The Cadillac Escalade on the other hand is a full-size luxury SUV measuring 211.9 inches in length, 81.1 inches wide, 76.7 inches tall, and rolls on a 120.9-inch wheelbase. Tipping the scale at 5,635 pounds in RWD guise, or 5,823 pounds with AWD, the Lyriq is on average 73 lbs heavier than the Escalade. That might not sound like much, but when you consider the size difference between these cars, it’s astounding.
