How this compares
At 37.7 MPGe combined, the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq ranks 2nd of 13 small SUVs (2WD) EPA rated for 2023 — 9.4 MPGe better than the 28.3 MPGe median for that group.
That places it in the upper third of its class. Fuel cost is unlikely to be the deciding factor against its direct rivals.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $850, $1,200 less than the $2,050 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $4,250, a $6,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
