The Cadillac OPTIQ SUV impresses with a Electric engine, 304 HP 425 km and an attractive starting price of 55700 £. Here are all the details at a glance.
The OPTIQ brings Cadillac’s American swagger to a mid-size electric SUV footprint at 4,820 mm long, 1,912 mm wide, and 1,643 mm tall. Vertical lighting blades, a shield-like grille and taut surfacing deliver presence without shouting. Proportions are athletic, with short overhangs and a planted stance helped by the battery’s low mounting. Neighbors will notice, but the soundtrack is tires on tarmac, not exhaust theatrics.
For the 2026 model year, the OPTIQ is offered as an all-wheel-drive electric with 304 hp (224 kW) and 480 Nm powered by a 75 kWh battery. Cadillac quotes 0–100 km/h in 6.3 s and a top speed of 184 km/h, which is brisk rather than brutal. The official consumption is 19.9 kWh/100 km and range is 425 km (WLTP). In daily use that means confident overtakes, secure traction when it’s wet or snowy, and enough range to cover a busy week with one or two charges.
Inside, the OPTIQ opts for clean lines, a wide digital cockpit and a mix of soft-touch materials that feel properly premium. The driving position is upright with good visibility, and the wheel and seat offer plenty of adjustment. Usability is helped by sensible shortcuts for climate and drive modes, plus deep door bins and a useful open storage shelf between the front seats. Fit and finish impress, and road noise is well muted thanks to the EV layout and careful isolation.
At 4,820 mm long, the Cadillac sits in the sweet spot for family duty, and it uses that footprint well. Four adults will stretch out comfortably, with generous headroom from the 1,643 mm height and good knee room in the back. The flat floor helps the middle-rear passenger, and ISOFIX points are easy to access. Payload is 524 kg, so passengers and luggage can come along without drama.
The boot offers 443 L with the seats up, expanding to 1,340 L when folded, so airport runs and flat-pack missions are covered. The load lip is modest and the opening is wide, making bulky items less of a wrestling match. Underfloor storage helps stow charge cables neatly, leaving the main bay uncluttered. Towing data is not provided here, so buyers with trailers should check factory ratings.
On the road, the OPTIQ majors on calm confidence rather than hot-hatch antics, which suits a 2,376 kg electric SUV. The low battery mass keeps roll in check, while all-wheel drive finds grip cleanly out of damp junctions. Steering is light but accurate, and the suspension filters out sharp edges without float at motorway speeds. Selectable brake regeneration adds one-pedal ease in traffic and takes the strain out of stop–go commutes.
With an official 19.9 kWh/100 km and a 425 km WLTP figure, the OPTIQ sits bang in the middle of the premium EV SUV pack. In mixed driving, expect the usual EV spread: lower consumption in town, higher on fast motorways, with cold weather trimming range. It runs with zero tailpipe emissions, easing entry to low-emission zones and helping company-car math where applicable. Preconditioning and route-based energy management help keep numbers consistent on long trips, so plan for comfortable two- to three-hour stints between top-ups.
Tech coverage is comprehensive, with a large central display, crisp graphics and quick responses backed by over-the-air updates. Navigation integrates charging stops and live availability, while a premium audio system brings proper long-trip calm. Safety kit includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera, depending on market and trim. The available highway assist can reduce fatigue on well-marked roads, but remains sensibly hands-on for responsibility and control.
The Cadillac OPTIQ targets buyers who want a distinctive, well-finished electric SUV without turning every drive into a science project. It suits families and business users who value quiet comfort, sure-footed traction and usable range over lap times. If the garage shortlist includes premium midsize EVs from Europe and America, the OPTIQ belongs in the conversation. Just note the 443 L boot and the comfort-first chassis tune, then enjoy how easily it takes the edge off everyday miles.
