2026 Cadillac Optiq review

Cadillac Optiq: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review

9.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Cadillac Optiq sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $55,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Exactly what we needed

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Nadia J. · Charlotte, NC · 30 months owned
Great daily driver

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
