Compare the2025 Cadillac LyriqVS 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S

Both the Lyriq and Wagoneer S have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The Lyriq has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Wagoneer S’ child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

The Cadillac Lyriq has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Wagoneer S doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

The Lyriq’s standard pretensioning seatbelts also sense rear collisions and remove slack from the seatbelts to help protect the occupants from whiplash and other injuries. The Wagoneer S doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

Full-time four-wheel drive is available on the Lyriq. Full-time four-wheel drive gives added traction for safety in all conditions, not just off-road, like the only system available on the Wagoneer S.

Both the Lyriq and Wagoneer S have rear cross-traffic warning, but the Lyriq has Rear Cross Traffic Braking (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Wagoneer S’ Rear Cross Path Detection doesn’t automatically brake.

For better traction, the Lyriq has larger standard tires than the Wagoneer S (265/50R20 vs. 235/50R20). The Lyriq’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Wagoneer S (275/40R22 vs. 235/50R20).

The Lyriq’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Wagoneer S’ 50 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Lyriq offers optional 22-inch wheels. The Wagoneer S’ largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The Cadillac Lyriq’s wheels have 6 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Jeep Wagoneer S only has 5 wheel lugs per wheel.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires standard on the Lyriq can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The Wagoneer S doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Lyriq’s wheelbase is 8.8 inches longer than on the Wagoneer S (121.8 inches vs. 113 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Lyriq is 1.5 inches wider in the front and 1.4 inches wider in the rear than on the Wagoneer S.

For greater off-road capability the Lyriq has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Wagoneer S (7 vs. 6.4 inches), allowing the Lyriq to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

The Lyriq offers available computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Wagoneer S doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The Lyriq has 5.6 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Wagoneer S (105.1 vs. 99.5).

The Lyriq has .6 inches more front headroom, 3 inches more front legroom, 1.1 inches more front hip room, 1.5 inches more front shoulder room, .3 inches more rear headroom, 1.6 inches more rear legroom and 1 inch more rear shoulder room than the Wagoneer S.

The Lyriq’s Enhanced Automatic Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Auto Parking will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Wagoneer S’ automatic parking system does not offer parking by remote control.

The Lyriq is available in both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The Wagoneer S doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.
