Electrified Legacy: 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ Overview
The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ embodies an important transition for Cadillac’s electric portfolio, introducing a compact SUV that upholds the marque’s commitment to craftsmanship and modern innovation. It notably succeeds the venerable XT4, bringing cutting-edge electric powertrains and a luxury experience calibrated thoughtfully for drivers in Oklahoma’s communities, such as Choctaw, Tuttle, and Pink. This entry-level electric SUV unites efficiency with spirited driving dynamics, presenting three distinct powertrain options tailored to diverse needs, from well-rounded daily driving to high-performance thrills.
Carrying an 85 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery across all trims, the OPTIQ’s range varies depending on the drivetrain selection, optimizing flexibility for longer commutes or energetic drives through Harrah and Yukon neighborhoods. Battery technology is complemented by a Tesla-standard North American Charging System (NACS) port, streamlining fast-charging convenience critical for modern homeowners in Etowah and Moore.
The OPTIQ offers:
| Powertrain | Horsepower | Torque | 0-60 mph (sec) | Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-motor RWD | 315 hp | 332 lb-ft | ~6.0 | ~300-317 miles |
| Dual-motor AWD | 440 hp | 498 lb-ft | <5.0 | ~280-303 miles |
| Optiq-V Performance AWD | 519 hp | 650 lb-ft | ~3.5 | ~275 miles |
This spectrum of options allows drivers across Oklahoma City, Bethel Acres, and Henryetta to select configurations aligned with their priorities, whether maximizing efficiency or embracing performance.
Timeless Exterior Design and Sophistication
The OPTIQ’s exterior design merges Cadillac’s distinguished heritage with forward-looking elements, delivering a bold yet refined presence within the compact luxury SUV segment. Its aerodynamic profile, enhanced by a low, sleek roofline and sculpted body panels, balances aesthetics with optimized airflow, contributing to the vehicle’s overall efficiency and silent ride quality appreciated in communities like Seminole and Mustang.
Standard across all versions are 20-inch alloy wheels, with finishes such as Pearl Nickel or Dark Android paint lending a polished appearance tailored for environments around Okemah and Chandler. The performance-focused Optiq-V elevates this with 21-inch Satin Graphite wheels, distinctive 6-spoke reverse rims, and carbon-fiber accents that underscore its sporty character. Notable design features include:
- Illuminated grille with black crystal detailing accented by the iconic Cadillac crest
- LED lighting with adaptive headlamps and choreographed taillights (premium trims)
- Power-operated tailgate with illuminated, power-extending door handles for convenience
Available paint choices, such as Magnus Metal Frost and Deep Ocean Tintcoat, provide unique personalization options, particularly appealing to discerning drivers in Shawnee and Edmond who appreciate subtle exclusivity.
Dynamic Performance and Driving Excellence
The 2026 OPTIQ balances potent, immediate electric torque delivery with a suspension setup designed to cater to varied road conditions across Oklahoma’s diverse landscapes, including the stretches around Moore and Harrah. Its rear-wheel-drive base model produces a robust 315 horsepower, delivering a smooth yet assertive acceleration experience tailored for urban and suburban environments.
For those seeking enhanced traction and power, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive option raises output to 440 horsepower, offering under 5 seconds in 0-60 mph acceleration — providing confident handling during inclement weather and spirited drives through choices such as Choctaw and Pink.
The OPTIQ-V variant represents Cadillac performance engineering, boasting 519 horsepower with 650 lb-ft of torque, an adaptive suspension with Continuous Damping Control, Brembo front brakes, and summer tires optimized for responsive handling. Key performance figures for the OPTIQ-V include:
