    Cadillac Optiq

    The Cadillac Optiq is the entry point to Cadillac's Australian electric SUV range, positioned below the Lyriq with a more compact footprint and a sharper value pitch. It uses a dual-motor all-wheel drive electric powertrain and arrives in a single well-equipped Sport grade, giving buyers a straightforward alternative to premium mid-sized EVs such as the Polestar 4, Genesis GV60 and BMW iX1 or iX3. The Optiq keeps Cadillac's dramatic lighting, large digital display and luxury-focused cabin presentation, but packages them in a size that is easier to live with day to day. Its role is to make Cadillac's EV design language more accessible without losing the brand's distinctive American character.
