Cadillac unveils its first, all-electric EV, OPTIQ, and it's a smooth operator
The sleek, tech-savvy 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ joins the heritage luxury brand's growing electric family including models like LYRIQ, VISTIQ and the ESCALADE IQ.
With pricing starting at Dhs235,000, the OPTIQ balances bold looks with everyday practicality.
Its sculpted fastback profile and signature Black Crystal Shield grille nod to Cadillac's design roots, while new touches like the Mondrian-inspired rear window pattern give it a refreshing edge.
Inside the car
The car boasts sleek technology inside, with interiors made from eco-conscious materials. The 33-inch diagonal LED display with 9K resolution sweeps across the dash, while recycled Cadillac Collection fabric softens the space. There's plenty of legroom, a spacious boot and a layout that makes even daily commutes feel a bit more luxurious.
The tech-powered driving experience really makes your life easier. Google Built-In means seamless access to Maps, Assistant and live range updates, while a 19-speaker AKG sound system with Dolby Atmos takes you elsewhere.
Safety's a big focus too, with features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert and Enhanced Automatic Parking all coming with the standard option.
Specs that wow
Power-wise, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup puts out 300 hp and 451 Nm of torque. It's quick off the line, but also comfortable and balanced, thanks to a lower centre of gravity from the GM EV platform.
Drivers can expect up to 492km of range on a full charge, so you really don't have to worry about the range. If you're in a hurry, a DC fast charger can top it up with 163km of range in just 15 minutes. Home charging is equally seamless, with a 7kW wall box included as standard.
What else?
The OPTIQ also includes three years of OnStar's Connect and Protect plan, plus 10GB of monthly in-car Wi-Fi.
So, when are you ordering yours?

Huge car brand returning to the UK selling all EV line-up only available in four countries
The legendary manufacturer's return to Great Britain signals the accelerating evolution of the automotive industry, with petrol-guzzling muscle cars making way for emission-free automobiles An iconic name in the automotive world is making a clean break from its past and gearing up for a major return to the UK market following an eight-year absence. American luxury brand Cadillac, which has long been associated with big V8s and bold design, will be offering a lineup of fully electric vehicles when it relaunches on British soil. Cadillac's return is a bold move by General Motors (GM), which established its European headquarters in Zurich back in 2021 as part of a renewed continental push. The first UK-bound model will be the Cadillac Lyriq, a premium all-electric SUV retailing at around £68,000, that has so far only been available in Switzerland, France, Sweden and Germany. It comes after UK drivers were warned over 'avoiding' road instead of having to follow new rule. According to CEO of GM Europe, Pere Brugal, the brand will focus solely on electric vehicles, with the UK being one of its key markets going forward. He told Autocar: "It is one of the [markets] that we're focusing on right now." While the UK release date hasn't yet been revealed, the CEO did confirm the Lyric will be available soon after final testing is completed in Ireland, and that Cadillac is aiming to launch in the UK with at least two models. But Mr Brugal declined to confirm which ones will be joining the Lyriq, saying: "We want to make sure we launch not only with one model portfolio. We want to make sure we launch with at least a two-model portfolio." The specifications of the Lyriq are impressive — the entry-level version offers a range of around 330 miles and generates 520bhp. Those wanting an extra boost can choose the performance-focused top-tier model, which increases power to 606bhp. However, as Mr Brugal pointed out, launching in the UK is not just about shipping cars across the Atlantic. The ability to import Cadillac's growing portfolio will depend heavily on the alignment of emission regulations and safety standards between the US and Europe. "If the regulations between the US and Europe harmonise, it will make our life easier," he explained. "We will bring a lot of benefit to the final customer, because that will increase the range of options.' He also noted the possibility of designing a bespoke GM model specifically for European tastes. Unlike previous Cadillac ventures in the UK, the relaunch will eschew traditional dealership networks. Instead, the all-electric models will be sold using an online-based model, supported by pop-up 'experience' centres inviting customers to see, drive and configure their cars. This strategic attempt to modernise the buying experience mirrors the approach used by other EV manufacturers such as Polestar. As the Lyriq prepares to hit UK roads, Cadillac's all-electric resurgence signals not just the return of an iconic brand, but also the accelerating evolution of the automotive industry, with tradition giving way to innovation and petrol-guzzling muscle cars making way for emission-free automobiles.

View post: Amazon Is Selling a 'Spacious' $36 Tool Bag for 47% Off, and It 'Can Store Just About Anything' This one's for those who want to know the nitty-gritty of what makes the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V worth the extra $12k-$20k. Beyond the F40 and 250 GTO, there's a world of Ferrari to discover. We highlight 5 forgotten Ferrari models that are now surprisingly undervalued and deserve more love. Like every other automaker, Hyundai recognizes that China is an important market. Claiming the vehicle as 'a new starting point,' the company recently revealed the electric Elexio SUV, which has shown impressive capabilities in early safety testing. Hyundai acknowledged that China is a 'must-fight place' for global companies, and the Elexio may help it compete with more established homegrown brands in the country. The automaker is targeting a CLTC driving range of 435 miles (roughly 320 miles using EPA testing) and says the SUV offers fast-charging, advanced technologies, and more. Early crash tests show the new SUV to offer above-average safety, with Hyundai citing its 'God's Hand' high-strength steel plating as a major factor in the tests. It features 360-degree body reinforcements and floor beams for better structural rigidity. Low-temperature battery evaluations found that the Elexio lost less driving range in low-temperature conditions, and it had no trouble operating in ultra-cold conditions. The Elexio is a bit smaller than the Tesla Model Y and will be offered in two configurations, including single- and dual-motor options. The single-motor powertrain offers 214 horsepower, and the dual setup has 312 hp. Both configurations will use LFP batteries from BYD's battery subsidiary, FinDream. Source: Image: Hyundai Hyundai also touted the crossover's ride quality, saying it has 'the highest suspension configuration in its class.' It features advanced dampers and hydraulic bushings, and the automaker said it reworked the suspension system more than 300 times before settling on the configuration. The Elexio is known as the Ioniq 5 of China, so it's unlikely that we'll see it on American streets anytime soon. It's built in China through Hyundai's partnership with BAIC and is expected to have a reasonable starting price of under $20,000. Hyundai plans to launch the vehicle in the third quarter of this year. About the Author Chris Teague View Profile

How did Cadillac Make the 2026 Lyriq Fit in the 'V' Family?

Looking for a lease on the new 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe? Find out the August lease special, including monthly payment, term length, and down payment for this popular SUV. The Lyriq does everything right The Cadillac Lyriq's formula is almost perfect. It's fast, nimble, tech-forward, stylish, and incredibly easy to become acquainted with. With a price range of $60,090 to $72,490, it may seem like a lot, but it comes with 365 horsepower in the single-motor RWD setup and 515 horsepower in the dual-motor AWD version. In AWD, the 0-60 time is 4.6 seconds, and as an RWD EV, it reaches 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. It may not seem like much, but as a luxury EV sedan designed for daily driving and family hauling, that's plenty quick. 0:05 / 0:09 VW will introduce a sub-$20,000 EV, but probably not here Watch More Source: Kristen Brown After receiving award after award for the Lyriq, Cadillac's engineers asked themselves, 'What if we made it even better?' and decided to slot the Lyriq into the 'V' (for 'Velocity') family. The Lyriq became the first EV to bear the moniker, and also earned the title as the 'Quickest Cadillac Ever.' That's evident with 100 extra horsepower and improved torque, bringing the figures up to 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Of course, for all 5,990 lbs to handle that power without complaint, several changes had to be made, and Cadillac's engineers did an incredible job. I got to experience all of it from behind the wheel of one last week in Seattle, Washington, at a first drive event. First, there's the heat issue to tackle Cadillac says the discharge current rate was increased by 25% to have more power at the ready, as well as 44% more commanded motor torque to give drivers a true AWD launch. One of the first improvements Cadillac had to make to the Lyriq-V was the thermal regulation system. Extra horsepower and torque mean more strain on the motors and battery, so the cooling system was drastically enhanced and reprogrammed to anticipate—and therefore prevent—any sort of overheating. So, instead of coming on as the battery or motors reach a certain temperature, the improved system is constantly keeping things cool, just in case you decide to switch it into 'V' mode while you're out grabbing groceries. Source: Kristen Brown Since the cooling is consistent and persistent, the Lyriq-V can be launched again, and again, and again, and again, getting a consistent 3.3 0-60 time without setting off any alarms or needing a break. I experienced it firsthand, being able to put it into launch mode, follow the prompts to press the brake pedal down, feel it hunker down as torque sits right on the wheel, and launch me into the next county as I floor the accelerator.

You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. To handle all that extra torque, improvements were made to the drivetrain, suspension, and steering More power can put a serious strain on drivetrain parts and increase wear (especially with repetitive launches) much quicker if parts aren't reinforced, so Cadillac got to work. To handle the increased final drive ratio of 11.6 from 10.5 in the rear and 9.85 to 11.59 in the front, the rear drive half shaft had to be beefed up from 41mm to 44mm. No wonder the cooling system needed to be improved. When in Comp mode (short for competition), these improvements truly shine, as the company's traction control manages the torque on the front axles based on how fast you're going to help mitigate understeer while still allowing the back end to break loose, and the braking system, all-wheel drive, and traction control system work together to simulate a limited slip differential with brake torque vectoring. With all those ponies comes more gravity pushing down on the EV as you wring it dry, and therefore, stiffer suspension is needed. Cadillac's performance team decided to go with a fixed suspension system over adaptive air suspension, which I questioned at first, but quickly grew to love once I experienced it on the autocross section. It has a 'refined sport' tune, as Cadillac coins it, where it's stiff enough to remind you of what it's capable of, but soft enough to keep your organs in place when you're dropping the kids off at school. The steering is adaptive, though. When put into Sport, Comp, or V mode, it's tight and precise. When it's in Tour mode, it's much softer and reinforces how the Lyriq-V was designed to live two different lives. You can't drastically increase power without changes to brakes and tires The tires that came on the standard Lyriq were pretty good, but the V model from the factory with a sticky, balanced performance tire from Continental. If you don't want it, Cadillac will fit an all-season tire on the trim-specific 22-inch wheels. Let's be real, though. If you're spending $80,090 to $85,290 for the V over the Sport or Luxury model, you want the sticky ones. When I was launching it over and over again, the tires never chirped or lost traction, and there was minimal chirping or skipping, even when I put my full body weight on the brake to stop it. Source: Kristen Brown That's thanks to the potent, updated brakes. The Lyriq-V getts 390mm nitrocarburizing 6-piston calipers from Brembo in the front, and a 345mm sliding caliper in the rear. Since they're on a performance car, they can either be painted 'Edge Red' or 'Royal Blue.' Interestingly, the stickier performance tires didn't miss a single beat when driving on the highway or the backcountry roads of Washington State's King County either. Final thoughts During Cadillac's presentation of the Lyriq-V, one thing engineers kept coming back to was how they designed the EV to truly represent the best of both worlds. Within the same hour, it can abide by the age-old saying of, 'riding like a Cadillac' on the highway or country roads, carefully absorbing bumps and provided a relaxing drive feel, and then with the press of a button, it's a rip snortin' beast that can tear up an autocross section (quietly, of course), a time attack at a local track, or simply impress your friends and family, all while being incredibly comfortable. The price point is a fairly big pill to swallow, but compared to other performance EVs on the market, few pull off the Hannah Montana lifestyle better than the Cadillac Lyriq-V.
