Despite differing philosophies, these two compact luxury SUVs are closely matched.
, GM's much-touted driver-assistance tech that offers hands-free driving. The GV70's driving assist is not entirely hands-free. But we found Super Cruise to be glitchy on a stretch of I-94, just minutes from GM's headquarters, where it would work one day and not the next. We also couldn't find an adjustment for the volume of text notifications that erupt through the powerful 19-speaker AKG audio system.
If this contest were decided by price alone, the Lyriq would secure a knockout victory. Our mid-trim Lyriq Luxury plugged in with a $65,615 as-tested price, the only option selected was Stellar Black Metallic, which is just a fancy way to describe spending $625 for black paint.
As if the two were wearing boxing gloves, these EVs traded punches with pros and cons. The GV70 has a snazzier cabin, but it costs more, and the Lyriq has more space. The Lyriq goes farther on a charge, but the GV70 recharges more quickly. Ultimately, the Electrified GV70 ekes out a victory with superior luxury, more exciting driving dynamics, and just enough range. In this matchup, creating an EV from an existing model rather than a purpose-built architecture proved to be no handicap.
