The 2025 Cadillac Optiq: Sensibly sized and improves on the Equinox EV
Briefly

The Cadillac Optiq, priced under $60,000, brings competitive features to the EV crossover market. With a dual-motor AWD system delivering 300 hp and an impressive torque of 500 Newton-meters, it outshines its sibling, the Chevrolet Equinox EV, particularly in luxurious design and additional power. The 85-kilowatt-hour battery provides a notable 302-mile range, while its sophisticated suspension aims to balance luxury and sporty appeal. This model signals Cadillac's strategic focus on the growing electric vehicle segment and showcases the brand's commitment to innovation and performance enhancements.
The Optiq slots in as an upmarket variant of the Chevrolet Equinox EV, featuring a suite of enhancements unveiled at a Downtown Los Angeles preview last spring.
In this case, an 85-kilowatt-hour battery allows for an EPA-estimated range of 302 miles (486 km) despite output from dual motors matching the AWD Equinox at 300 hp.
