2026 Cadillac OPTIQ Driving Range
Cadillac's range of all-electric SUVs has expanded to eight models for the 2026 model year, with the Cadillac OPTIQ compact SUV positioned as the entry-level model of the lineup.
Not only is the 2026 OPTIQ the most affordable model, but its impressive driving range and charging times make it a top choice for budget-conscious drivers. Read on as we share details on the 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ range.
What Is the Range of the 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ?
A fully charged OPTIQ offers a Cadillac-estimated driving range of 300 miles before drivers need to plug in and recharge.
The impressive 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ range is thanks to the 12V/60AH, 680 ENCCA battery system, along with a 400-volt, 85.0-kWh rechargeable energy propulsion battery pack.
The OPTIQ offers different charging methods that include:
- Standard 11.5 kW capable onboard charging module for flexible dual voltage at-home 120-volt Level 1 or 240-volt Level 2 (AC) charge rates of up to 11.5 kW
- Available GM POWERUP2 residential hardwired EV charger with included cord and up to 11.5 kW, 40-amp charging capability, which does, however, require professional installation
- Available onboard charging module with 240-volt Level 2 AC charging rates up to 19.2 kW
- Available GM Energy PowerShift Charger, a residential bidirectional EV charger with up to 19.2 kW, 80-amp, hardwired charging capability that will require professional installation
Plus, the option of a GM CCS DC Adapter that is compatible with CCS public fast chargers and the GM Energy PowerShift to allow public DC fast charging of 250 kW or more, residential V2H discharging, and an EV adapter for NACS native vehicles.
How Does the Range of the 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ vs. LYRIQ Compare?
The latest and larger mid-sized 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ has a slightly longer driving range of approximately 303 to 326 miles, depending on the drivetrain configuration, when compared to the OPTIQ's Cadillac-estimated range of 300 miles.
While both of these all-electric models are equipped with DC fast charging capabilities that allow drivers to recharge to a significant battery level quickly, the OPTIQ's smaller propulsion battery pack means fewer miles between charges.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ lineup is equipped with a powerful 300-horsepower single electric motor with 332 pound-feet of torque.
This powerful drivetrain sends power to the rear wheels only and enables the OPTIQ to tow up to a maximum of 1,500 pounds.
The OPTIQ has enough oomph to get drivers from 0-60 mph in a respectable time of just 5.2 seconds.
