Like the not in your face I'm an EV styling.

 

[SatinSilver]

Like the two rows of rear taillights. Maybe help prevent some accidents.

 

[LDM]

Looks like a regular vehicle to me, which is a plus. The whole "I'm trying to be an EV" styling is pretty ridiculous. If it actually starts at $54K and you can buy one, it would fit in the luxury vehicle area. But starts at $54K doesn't mean you can actually buy one for that, so another wait and see thing. Not sure I care for the dash though.

 

[Torrid]

Just what the market has a shortage of, a $50k crossover.

 

[JohnnyG]

LOVE the fact that has an actual dash and not a Cheap tablet! Probably still too many buttons on the steering whell, but I see a few where they belong anyway.

 

[4WD]

Like it … maybe not the

 

[E365]

Good B-Roll footage.

 

[Malo83]

Another chevy blazer.

looks the same as a lyriq

 

[E365]

Good space cargo and rear legroom.

 

[Torrid]

looks the same as a lyriq

It looks very obviously to be on the Blazer EV platform with the usual Cadillac corporate design. It does look nice. The Blazer EV platform may have about the best proportions as a crossover in my eyes, which is probably not saying much as my most hated portion of the auto market.

 

[michaelluscher]

I dig it, even though I grew to hate the 2020 XT4 we had
The price seems a little high, but the $7,500 tax credit and standard SuperCruise make it seem a better value than a Model Y

OPTIQ-V confirmed. To be revealed this summer.

Might be a fun little rocket if they can put the same motors as the Blazer EV SS & LYRIC-V. I’m sure it won’t fit a bigger battery, so maybe toned-down from the 615HP those provide.

[Brons2]

Is this the Cadillac version of the Equinox EV?

 

[E365]

Is this the Cadillac version of the Equinox EV?

Correct.

 

[E365]

2026 OPTIQ is now RWD standard and AWD optional. OPTIQ-V is AWD only though.

No power or range numbers yet.

 

[E365]

Massive power and torque bump for the 2026 AWD model!

“The new 2026 Cadillac Optiq AWD will be rated at an estimated 440 horsepower and 498 pound-feet of torque, a considerable boost over the 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque laid down by the 2025 Optiq AWD. For those who don’t feel like pulling out the calculator, that’s an increase of 140 horsepower and 144 pound-feet – not bad for a model year changeover.”
