Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

wired.com John Voelcker 2026-04-18 01:00:00

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the US brand’s shot at capturing buyers of small, high-end EVs in North America and several other markets. It’s the latest in a lineup of five electric models from a brand recasting itself as all (or mostly) electric, tech-forward, and truly global—unlike its US luxury-barge image of past decades. I spent eight days in an Optiq in early May, and drove 840 miles throughout upstate New York and environs, and also New York City. It’s a quiet and comfortable small-SUV EV
