WHO IT FITS
Is the OPTIQ the right Cadillac for you?
These three questions usually narrow the lineup quickly before getting into colour, interior and exact availability.
You want the smallest Cadillac EV footprint
You want AWD and Super Cruise without moving up to LYRIQ size
Most of your driving is city / commuting with occasional road trips
COMMON QUESTIONS
OPTIQ FAQ
Short answers to the questions buyers usually ask before we narrow down the exact trim and configuration.
What is the OPTIQ range?
Use approximately 490 km for an AWD planning figure. Confirm the exact published rating for the trim and wheel configuration you are considering. Actual range also varies with weather, speed, tires, load and heating use.
What is the difference between 11.5 kW and 19.2 kW charging?
Those figures refer to the onboard AC charger used for Level 2 charging. The 19.2 kW option can accept substantially more AC power when both the vehicle and electrical installation support it.
Does the 19.2 kW onboard charger make DC fast charging faster?
No. The onboard AC charger is bypassed during DC fast charging, so it does not change the vehicle’s DC fast-charge capability.

WHERE I START
When I steer someone toward OPTIQ
OPTIQ is the Cadillac EV I start with when an urban-friendly footprint, technology, luxury and easy maneuverability matter. If the client wants more cabin and cargo space or a more substantial road feel, that is when I bring LYRIQ into the conversation instead of pretending one EV fits everyone.
