Separated at birth? Acura and Cadillac’s first EVs share an awful lot under the skin. Let's break down who gets what, and maybe even which is better.
the second of many vehicles to be based on the same architecture. The similarities between the ZDX and Lyriq go a lot deeper, though. Underneath, they're basically the same car.Sharing the same platform, it's no surprise the ZDX and Lyriq use the same power source.

Cadillac uses its expansive 33.
