Cadillac packs an incredible luxury experience into even its smallest electric vehicle offering. The OPTIQ comes with an astonishing level of standard equipment, including a single-motor setup that gives you all-wheel drive and a combined 315 system horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Efficient drivetrain engineering means that, even with all of that power, the battery pack in the OPTIQ can still deliver an estimated 302 miles of range. The OPTIQ also comes with things like 20-inch wheels and a panoramic fixed glass roof that would cost extra on most of the vehicles in this segment. On top of that, the standard 19-speaker AKG sound system delivers better sound than the optional sound systems in most competitors.
Cadillac LYRIQ

Key Features
- Starting at $59,200 MSRP*
- Standard single-motor RWD electric drivetrain producing 365 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, available dual-motor AWD electric drivetrain producing 515 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, or available V-Series drivetrain producing 615 horsepower and 685 lb-ft of torque
- Range of 326 miles
- 33-inch diagonal advanced LED display
- 126-color LED dual-zone ambient interior lighting

The LYRIQ was the first Cadillac electric vehicle, and now the LYRIQ-V is the first Cadillac EV to be offered in a high performance V-Series form. Together with the V, there are three drivetrains available for the LYRIQ, as well as six trims, not counting the V-Series. All of that means that it’s incredibly easy to configure a LYRIQ exactly the way you want. Cadillac’s midsize EV SUV is built to appeal to a wide audience, with a long list of standard features, as well as options like Nappa leather, open pore wood trim, and next generation active noise cancelling technology to give you an even more luxurious experience. Maximum range comes in at 326 miles, and DC fast charging can replenish up to 86 miles worth of electricity in just 10 minutes. The LYRIQ set a high bar for Cadillac EVs, and it continues to outshine its competitors.
Cadillac VISTIQ

Key Features
- Starting at $77,395 MSRP*
- Standard dual-motor AWD electric drivetrain producing 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque

- Panoramic dual pane sunroof with power sunshade and third-row fixed glass roof

Three-row midsize SUVs have become quite popular in recent years, but there still aren’t that many electric versions to choose from, unless you look to Cadillac. The VISTIQ is about the same size as the former gasoline-powered XT6, but the 615-horsepower electric drivetrain means that the VISTIQ is a lot quicker and able to hit 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Like the rest of the Cadillac lineup, the VISTIQ comes with a seriously impressive level of standard equipment, including things like heated second-row seats and a 23-speaker AKG Audio system with Dolby Atmos. Optional equipment includes some incredible technology, like an augmented reality head-up display and night vision.
Cadillac Escalade IQ

- Starting at $127,405 MSRP*

- Curved Pillar-to-Pillar 55-inch total diagonal LED display

There is nothing quite like the full-size electric SUVs produced by the different GM brands. For Cadillac, that means the Escalade IQ is unlike anything else on the road. Though it shares a name with a gasoline-powered model, the Escalade IQ is built on an entirely different platform, though it is still similar in size and purpose. The battery pack the Escalade IQ is able to accommodate is enormous, meaning it can offer an incredible 750 horsepower and an unbeatable range of 465 miles at the same time. Like its gasoline counterpart, the Escalade IQ comes with an incredibly luxurious and tech-forward cabin that will revolutionize each minute you spend behind the wheel.
