Cadillac has unveiled the 2026 OPTIQ-V, an electrifying new entrant to its iconic V-Series performance lineup, bringing bold power, futuristic design, and trailblazing technology to the forefront of luxury EVs.

The OPTIQ-V delivers a Cadillac-estimated 519 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, thanks to its Velocity Max mode and standard dual-motor all-wheel drive.

Marking a historic shift, the OPTIQ-V is General Motors’ first vehicle to feature a native NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, aligning GM with the movement toward a unified, open EV charging ecosystem.

“This model is a statement of performance and innovation,” said John Roth, Vice President, Global Cadillac. “OPTIQ-V brings a youthful spirit and dynamic precision to the V-Series lineup while opening new markets globally.”

Other highlights include:

  • An 85 kWh battery pack with an estimated 275-mile range
  • Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance as standard
  • V-Mode and Launch Control for tailored performance
  • 21-inch satin graphite alloy wheels, optional carbon fiber elements
  • Two exclusive colors: Magnus Metal Frost and Deep Ocean Tintcoat
  • A luxury interior featuring Santorini Blue accents, recycled materials, and a 19-speaker AKG® Studio Audio System with Dolby Atmos

Production begins fall 2025, with availability across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Middle East, and Israel. Pricing starts at an estimated $68,795, excluding taxes and dealer fees.
