Introducing the 2025 Cadillac Optiq: Cadillac’s Latest Entry-Level Electric Vehicle
General Motors has unveiled the highly anticipated 2025 Cadillac Optiq, the latest addition to Cadillac’s electric vehicle lineup. Priced at $54,000, the compact-sized crossover is set to be Cadillac’s fourth electric vehicle and is scheduled to hit the market later this year. This new model joins the ranks of Cadillac’s other electric offerings, including the Lyriq midsize crossover, the Celestiq sedan, and the upcoming Escalade IQ SUV.
Cadillac has always been synonymous with American luxury, and the Optiq is a prime example of the brand’s commitment to innovation and forward-thinking design. “Cadillac has always defined American luxury, and Optiq is an example of how our bold, innovative spirit is propelling us into the EV future,” said John Roth, vice president of Cadillac.
The Optiq will be available in 10 regions, including North America, China, and Europe, where it recently made its debut at a new Cadillac showroom in Paris. With a sleek design featuring vertical and horizontal lights, a black grille, and a 33-inch diagonal LED interior display, the Optiq exudes luxury and sophistication. It also boasts GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance system, making it a leader in advanced technology and safety features.
Equipped with an 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack and a dual motor all-wheel drive propulsion system, the Optiq delivers an estimated 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. The vehicle offers a Cadillac-estimated range of 300 miles on a single charge and can add about 79 miles of range in just 10 minutes with a DC fast charger.
In addition to its impressive performance capabilities, the Optiq provides an opportunity for GM to reenter the European market and strengthen its presence in China. The vehicle will be produced at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, further contributing to the brand’s global footprint.
As the automotive industry shifts towards electrification, the 2025 Cadillac Optiq stands out as a compelling option for consumers seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability.
