Cadillac OPTIQ-V, quite a rascal!

The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V joins the fifth generation of the V-Series lineup, a symbol of performance and muscular design.

This new 100% electric SUV represents a significant milestone for the brand, combining style, dynamism, and technical innovations, in an approach aimed at a young and modern clientele.

With an estimated power of 519 horsepower and a torque of 880 Nm, the OPTIQ-V promises brisk acceleration, reaching 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds thanks to the “Velocity Max” driving mode. The all-wheel drive system with dual motors and the 85 kWh battery allow for a range of approximately 440 kilometers according to Cadillac’s estimates. The vehicle’s architecture has been designed to offer an optimal balance of aerodynamics, agility, stability, and safety.

The exterior design stands out with a sporty and confident look, featuring touches of blue reminiscent of the visual signature of the V-Series lineup. The front end features a V-pattern grille, a glossy black splitter, and specific carbon fiber elements. The vehicle sits on 21-inch alloy wheels, and two new exclusive colors are offered: a matte metallic gray named Magnus Metal Frost and a deep blue called Deep Ocean Tintcoat.

V for sport, Cadillac for luxury

Inside, the ambiance is both sporty and refined. The OPTIQ-V offers two interior color combinations, both accented with details in “Santorini Blue.” This blue is found on the stitching, seat belts, and seat patterns. The materials used incorporate recycled fibers and genuine carbon fiber, particularly on the central console. V-Series logos are present in several locations within the cabin, reinforcing the model’s identity.

The OPTIQ-V is also the first General Motors vehicle to directly integrate a NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging port, facilitating access to fast charging across North America. Its marketing will begin in the fall of 2025 in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East, before arriving in Europe during the year 2026.
