Introducing the 2025 Cadillac Optiq
The 2025 Cadillac Optiq represents a pivotal shift in Cadillac’s electric vehicle (EV) offerings. As the brand’s smallest and most affordable option, it makes electric mobility more accessible without compromising on performance or luxury.
Performance and Specifications
With a starting price of $54,390, the Optiq provides an impressive array of features. This compact crossover offers all-wheel-drive supported by a dual-motor setup, yielding a robust 300 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. The 85 kWh battery allows for an EPA-estimated EV range of 302 miles, ensuring that drivers have ample range for daily commutes and weekend getaways.
Stimulating Tax Credits and Future Models
Remarkably, the Optiq qualifies for a ,500 federal tax credit, thanks to its North American assembly and compliant battery sourcing. This incentive, combined with its compelling pricing, makes the 2025 Cadillac Optiq an attractive option for those looking to enter the EV market. Joining the likes of the Lyriq and the upcoming Escalade IQ, the Optiq plays a crucial role in Cadillac’s ambitious electric lineup, which will also include the three-row Vistiq and the ultra-luxurious Celestiq.
