"Gallery: 2025 Cadillac Optiq Source: Patrick George Even more impressive is how the Optiq maintains its range. RWD models have an EPA driving range of 317 miles on a full charge, while the AWD version has an EPA driving range of 303 miles on a full charge. The 2025 Optiq, which was AWD-only, managed 302 miles on a full charge. The 85-kilowatt battery remains unchanged."
""New for 2026 is an available rear wheel drive-based all-wheel drive system that offers a dramatic increase in performance and capabilities," Cadillac said in a statement. Specifically, that means a jump to 440 hp and 498 lb-ft of torque for the AWD version, while the entry RWD variant beats the old car's power at 315 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. Not bad at all."
The 2026 Cadillac Optiq introduces a new rear-wheel-drive base trim and an available dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that raises peak output to 440 hp and 498 lb-ft. The entry RWD variant increases output to 315 hp and 332 lb-ft. EPA driving range remains strong: 317 miles for RWD and 303 miles for AWD on the unchanged 85-kilowatt battery. The Optiq gains native Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) compatibility for Supercharger access. The previous Optiq combined stylish packaging and strong value but lacked driving urgency; the power and drivetrain changes aim to improve performance appeal.
