2025 Cadillac OPTIQ

The OPTIQ’s exterior is a masterclass in design with four athletic trims, each more sculptural than the last. The entry-level Luxury 1 might be the “base” trim, but there's nothing basic about it. Its low, coupe-like roofline and sharply raked windshield scream high-performance grand tourer, while a luminous black crystal grille and vertical LED light blades add just the right touch of sci-fi drama. And yes, that panoramic fixed glass roof is standard—because who doesn’t want their daily commute bathed in sunlight? Move up to the Sport 1 and the OPTIQ gets bolder with Obsidian Chrome accents, a sportier fascia, and 20-inch wheels with a Dark Android finish that could make Bruce Wayne do a double-take. The top-tier Luxury 2 and Sport 2 trims take things even further with larger wheels, a more aggressive front end, and the kind of road presence usually reserved for six-figure super-SUVs. If you're cruising through downtown Scranton or heading up to the Poconos for a weekend escape, this vehicle announces you’ve arrived—without making a sound.

Of course, beauty is only half the story. Underneath its sleek body, the 2025 OPTIQ houses a dual-motor AWD system good for a robust 300 hp and 354 lbs.-ft. of torque. Translation: this EV doesn’t just move, it launches. From a stoplight on Mulberry Street to the on-ramp of I-81, the instant torque makes merging and overtaking effortless. And with an estimated 302-mile range, range anxiety becomes a thing of the past—even on those longer weekend jaunts out to Lake Wallenpaupack.

Performance tuning is where the OPTIQ truly shows off its dual nature: silky smooth yet startlingly responsive. It adapts seamlessly to all kinds of road conditions—especially handy when Scranton’s weather turns from sunny to snowy in a blink. With selectable drive modes like Snow/Ice, My Mode, and Sport, the OPTIQ is as adaptable as your Spotify playlist. In Sport Mode, paired with a finely tuned suspension, you’ll feel every curve in the road like it was engineered just for you.?

Slip inside, and the cabin continues the theme of thoughtful innovation. Cadillac has replaced traditional materials with sustainable luxury like PaperWood veneer—crafted from tulipwood and recycled newspapers—which sounds like something out of a design magazine (because it is). Add in Inteluxe seating in hues like Autumn Canyon and Phantom Blue, with available massage, heat, and ventilation, and the OPTIQ becomes more of a lounge on wheels than a car. Command central is a sweeping 33-inch curved LED display—the largest in its segment—seamlessly integrating navigation, entertainment, and connectivity through Google Built-in and wireless phone integration. Crank up the bespoke 19-speaker sound system, set the ambient lighting to your mood, and you’ve got the makings of a mobile retreat. Plus, with more than 57 cu. ft. of cargo space and generous rear legroom, weekend getaways and Target hauls are a breeze.

Safety isn't just a feature in the 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ—it’s a philosophy. From the moment you take the wheel, Cadillac surrounds you with a sophisticated network of driver-assistance technologies engineered to anticipate the unexpected. Standard systems like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane-Keeping Assist work seamlessly to heighten your awareness and help avoid accidents before they happen. The OPTIQ doesn’t stop there. With features like Park Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, and a surround-view camera system, navigating tight spaces or busy Scranton streets becomes second nature. Every angle is covered, every maneuver made easier. In the unlikely event of a collision, Cadillac’s meticulous safety engineering takes over. Reinforced crumple zones and a full suite of strategically placed airbags are designed to shield every occupant from harm.
