Overview

• Cadillac has officially announced that the all-electric Optiq SUV will receive a V-Series performance variant for 2026.
• The Optiq-V will be the second EV in Cadillac’s V-Series portfolio, following the Lyriq-V introduced earlier this year.
• Built on GM’s Ultium platform, the Optiq-V shares its architecture with the Chevrolet Equinox EV and aims to deliver a sportier driving experience.
• While exact specifications remain unclear, the Optiq-V is expected to draw on features from the Lyriq-V, including advanced traction management and enhanced motor configurations.
• The Optiq-V’s range is anticipated to decrease to approximately 250 miles due to its shorter wheelbase and performance-focused components.
