2026 Cadillac OPTIQ

Luxury establishes a surprisingly complete foundation. Its single-motor RWD powertrain accompanies 20-inch wheels, an illuminated black crystal grille, SkyGlass™ roof, Inteluxe seating, heated front seats, 19-speaker AKG Studio Surround audio, and the 33-inch Horizon Display™. Standard 11.5 kW AC charging and an NACS port address the practical side of EV ownership. Premium Luxury adds a Head-Up Display, 8-way power front passenger seat, ventilated and lumbar-massaging front seats, heated rear outboard seats, upgraded choreographed exterior lighting, and a rear cargo cover. Available 21-inch wheels and distinctive Inteluxe interior treatments further separate it from Luxury. Sport takes the Luxury specification in a darker direction with Obsidian Chrome exterior detailing, a Sport grille, 20-inch Dark Android wheels, and gloss-black finishes while retaining its core technology and comfort equipment. Premium Sport combines that more assertive design with the amenities of Premium Luxury, including massaging and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, Head-Up Display, upgraded lighting, available 21-inch wheels, and richer interior combinations.

Single-motor RWD produces a Cadillac-estimated 315 hp and 332 lbs. ft. of torque, with an EPA-estimated 317 miles of range. Dual-motor AWD increases output substantially to 440 hp and 498 lbs. ft. of torque while providing an EPA-estimated 303 miles of range. Both configurations can tow up to 1,500 lbs.

Near-instantaneous electric torque gives OPTIQ the responsive character expected of an EV, while Regen on Demand® and One-Pedal Driving provide additional control over deceleration and energy recovery. Its 85-kWh battery supports DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, adding up to 81 miles in about 10 minutes under stated conditions. Standard 11.5 kW Level 2 charging can add up to 36 miles per hour, while available 19.2 kW charging increases that figure to 59 miles.

At 190 inches long with a 116-inch wheelbase, OPTIQ seats up to 5. Front legroom measures 41.6 inches, while the second row provides 37.8 inches. Cargo volume is 26 cu. ft. behind the rear seats and 57 cu. ft. with them folded. Upper trims introduce ventilated and massaging front seats, heated rear outboard seats, distinctive Inteluxe upholstery, and Dark PaperWood décor, giving the compact footprint a convincingly premium atmosphere.

The 33-inch Horizon Display™ delivers 9K resolution alongside Google built-in, wireless charging, 5G Wi-Fi capability, and 19-speaker AKG audio with available Dolby Atmos®. The myCadillac app supports charging access, while the standard NACS port broadens public charging compatibility.

Standard technology includes Super Cruise®, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Lane Keep Assist, HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and Vision Enhanced Parking.
