About the 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ
1st generation (2025-present), third model year; no significant refresh for the four regular trims
Cadillac positions the OPTIQ as its compact entry into electric luxury: a five-seat SUV sized for commuting and weekend travel, with up to 317 miles of EPA-estimated range, roomy second-row seating, and useful cargo space. Its defining strengths are a quiet, technology-focused cabin, a sweeping 33-inch display, premium audio, distinctive Cadillac lighting and grille design, and a choice between efficient RWD and stronger dual-motor AWD performance.
The regular lineup consists of Luxury and Sport trims, plus better-equipped Premium versions of each. Luxury models use bright exterior details, while Sport models use a darker grille and trim without adding performance; Premium trims add features such as a head-up display, ventilated and massaging front seats, and heated rear seats. Every regular trim has a 33-inch curved display, 19-speaker AKG audio, an 85-kWh battery, and either 315-hp rear-wheel drive or 440-hp all-wheel drive.
