Cadillac LYRIQ vs Genesis GV80 Coupe
A detailed look at how two of Australia's most popular SUVs compare on price, running costs, safety, and everyday livability.
Specifications and pricing correct at time of publishing. Prices are RRP before on-road costs unless stated otherwise. Always confirm with the manufacturer or dealer before purchasing.
Price Breakdown
The Cadillac LYRIQ starts from $122,000 before on-road costs, while the Genesis GV80 Coupe opens at $122,000. Both land at the same RRP, so on-road costs and dealer deals become the real differentiator.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $134,200 and $134,200 respectively.
The Cadillac LYRIQ qualifies for FBT exemption as an electric vehicle, which can dramatically reduce the effective cost for novated lease buyers. The Genesis GV80 Coupe, as a petrol model, does not qualify.
