WATT MATTERS?

The OPTIQ brings Cadillac's electric design language into a smaller SUV. It promises much of the visual drama of the LYRIQ without quite the same footprint or price.

THE BASICS

The Australian Sport uses a 75kWh battery, dual-motor all-wheel drive and a claimed 425km range. A quoted 110kW DC charging peak is modest against several similarly priced EVs.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

The OPTIQ could appeal to buyers seeking something different in premium electric SUVs. Its charging specification is the first compromise we'd examine for regular long-distance use.
