Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review:The Cadillac Optiq is a 2 row 5 seat crossover that shares a platform with the Chevy Equinox EV. Its starting price is around $53,000 USD and offers an estimated 302 miles of range.
The Optiq is part of Cadillac's EV lineup, using model names ending in -iq. It has a 85 kWh battery pack and a dual motor all-wheel drive setup producing 300 horsepower. There are Luxury and Sport trims available with slightly different styling.
The Optiq lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Instead, it relies on basic Bluetooth connection and Google Maps and music apps run through the screen. A major benefit of the Optiq is the Dolby Atmos 19-speaker sound system.
The reviewer feels you should not overspend for extra options because it adds $10,000 to the total cost, and because electric technology is changing quickly you do not want to buy a new EV right now. The reviewer did not initially appreciate the Optiq until a test drive.
Here is a final score from the reviewer:
Exterior: A-
Interior: A
Performance: B+
Value: A-
Overall: A-
