Overview

The Cadillac Optiq First Edition (2024-…) is an all-electric all-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2024. Brand new, the car starts around $52,895.

The Cadillac Optiq First Edition (2024-…) has a 89 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 287 mi on a single charge — ranked №238 out of 902 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Cadillac Optiq First Edition (2024-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 224 kW (300 hp) of power and 354 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.9 seconds (№43 out of 118 ranked positions, among 902 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 113 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Cadillac Optiq First Edition (2024-…) is 287 miles, ranking it №84 out of 257 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Cadillac Optiq First Edition (2024-…) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 35 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Cadillac Optiq First Edition (2024-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 150 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.
