All Optiqs, no matter the trim, feature a dual-motor electric powertrain, with an estimated driving range of about 300 miles per charge.
An 85.0-kWh battery pack is featured on all models—it can be charged at public fast-charging stations or on home chargers with little effort. Cadillac states that almost 80 miles of range can be added in about ten minutes.
Is the 2025 Optiq Luxurious?
As we’ve always known, Cadillac is synonymous with elegance and the Optiq is no exception to this rule, even with an interior crafted from recycled materials. Its dash features a massive curved screen, with textured metal accents and textile trim pieces just below, all of which lend an upscale feel to the cab. This extends to the floating center console, which features two cup holders and the infotainment system’s rotary controller. Passenger space is ample and comfortable for four adults.
What Exterior Features Are Seen on the 2025 Cadillac Optiq?
The new Optiq’s polished, luxurious exterior design features a sharp body with massive 20-inch wheels and tires. Exterior elements include a fixed-glass roof with an integrated moonroof (separate), a black crystal grille with laser-etching, graphically-patterned rear quarter windows and rear diffusers and a vented rear spoiler for aerodynamics.
What Technology Is Seen In the 2025 Cadillac Optiq?
Let’s get into the Optiq’s massive 33.0-inch curved display at the dash. It house’s the SUV’s touchscreen infotainment system and a digital gauge cluster. You may remember this display from other Cadillac models like the Lyriq and already know how crisp its graphics are. It features Google Maps Navigation and a Wi-Fi hotspot as standard. Apple CarPlay, however, is not a guaranteed feature in this model. All Optiqs have a AKG stereo system with Dolby Atmos and 19-speakers to make serious audiophiles stand up and take notice.
Is the 2025 Cadillac Optiq a Safe and Reliable Car?
Cadillac takes safety seriously, and the Optiq has all of the driver-assistance bells and whistles you would expect from the automaker. Safety features as standard included:
- Adaptive cruise control with hands-free driving mode
- Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
- Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
