The model comes with standard all-wheel drive and a 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque propulsion system. The new Cadillac has an 85.0 kWh battery, offering an estimated range of about 480 kilometers.

The exterior design is sporty, with a sloping windshield and a short hood, complemented by 20 or 21-inch wheels that give it a rugged appearance.

The Optiq’s interior is carefully designed with high-quality materials, including recycled fabric that gives a touch of organic luxury. A curved 33-inch screen integrates the instrument panel and the infotainment screen, retaining physical controls for ease of use. Additionally, the base model includes heated front seats, while the top model adds front seat ventilation and rear seat heating, along with a head-up display.

In terms of performance, Optiq’s engineers, with experience from projects like the Corvette and the Blackwing, claim the vehicle has minimal body roll and a favorable balance between comfort and handling.

The all-wheel-drive system with two motors combines a front permanent magnet synchronous motor that maximizes energy regeneration with a rear asynchronous induction motor that provides significant thrust when needed.

The Optiq comes with a dual-level charging cable for home charging at 110V or 240V and supports charging rates of 19.2 kW when properly equipped. On trips, it can add about 127 kilometers of range in 10 minutes thanks to a 150 kW DC fast-charging capability.

The Cadillac Optiq 2025 will be launched in the fall, with prices starting at $54,000, and has everything to stand out in the compact luxury SUV segment.
