Is the new Cadillac Optiq the entry-level luxury electric SUV we’ve been waiting for

Introducing Cadillac's Optiq: The New Entry-Level Luxury EV

Cadillac unveiled its most affordable luxury EV so far, the 2025 Optiq, on Wednesday.

The new 2025 Optiq will join Cadillac’s growing lineup of electric cars,

including the Lyriq, Escalade IQ, Celestiq, and Vistiq launching next year.

The Optiq is powered by an 85 kWh battery pack with standard dual-motor AWD,

offering up to 300 miles of range.

It also features a vented rear spoiler, diffuser, and other elements to boost aerodynamics,

as well as a high-tech interior with advanced LED display and Super Cruise driver assist as standard.

With a starting price around $54,000, the Optiq will rival Tesla’s Model Y and other luxury electric SUVs in the segment.

Can Cadillac’s new Optiq compete with top-selling luxury rivals like Tesla, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz?

Cadillac promises its new entry-level EV will feature “several segment-leading features”

and remain true to the Cadillac brand as it looks to stand out in a sea of luxury SUV rivals.

Can the Optiq help revamp the brand and compete with luxury EV rivals?
