Think of the new 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ electric SUV as a slightly smaller version of the Escalade IQ. Its 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack comes with a standard dual motor all-wheel drive propulsion system generating 300 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of instant torque.
The OPTIQ is good for up to 300 miles of range on a full charge, and when connected to a 150-kilowatt DC fast-charger, it can achieve 79 miles of range in around 10 minutes. OPTIQ Regen On Demand enables the driver to slow down or stop the vehicle with a dedicated, pressure-sensitive paddle located on the steering wheel. That’s not all, One-Pedal Driving allows the driver to slow down and stop the vehicle using only the accelerator under most driving conditions. Pricing starts at $54,000 USD, and OPTIQ will begin arriving in showrooms this fall.
- Speed & Range: The Gokart PRO reaches 23 mph and has a 15.5-mile range on one charge.
- Powerful Performance: Features a rear-wheel drive with 4,800W power and 96N torque for quick acceleration.
- Safety First: Built with a high-strength steel frame, supports up to 220 lbs, and includes triple anti-collision protection.
Cadillac has always defined American luxury, and OPTIQ is an example of how our bold, innovative spirit is propelling us into the EV future. Over the past five years, Cadillac has welcomed approximately 1 million new customers to the family globally, while our percentage of younger buyers has increased 5% in the U.S. OPTIQ will be an important gateway to attract luxury EV intenders to Cadillac as we look to offer a fully electric portfolio by the end of the decade,” said John Roth, VP Global Cadillac.
