    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The Cadillac Optiq comes standard with dual-motor all-wheel drive across all trims, delivering 224 kW of power and 353 Nm of torque. This ensures confident performance in all weather conditions—an attractive feature for EV buyers in Canada.
    With an estimated 486 km of electric range, the Cadillac Optiq ranks well among luxury compact electric SUVs. It's a practical EV for both commuting and light road trips without frequent charging stops.
    The cabin of the Cadillac Optiq electric vehicle features premium materials like vegan leather and open-pore wood, a large curved 33-inch LED display, and ambient lighting. The Google Built-in infotainment system is responsive and modern.
    The Cadillac Optiq includes GM’s Super Cruise, one of the most advanced hands-free highway driving systems available. This long-distance driver-assist technology sets the Optiq apart in its segment.
    Reviewers praise the Cadillac Optiq’s quiet cabin and smooth suspension, especially in Tour mode. Regenerative braking paddles offer additional control, even though full one-pedal driving is not supported.
    The Cadillac Optiq electric SUV stands out with its sharp body lines, illuminated grille, and compact profile. It's aimed at urban EV buyers who prefer smaller SUVs with premium aesthetics.
    Starting at CAD $63,433, the Cadillac Optiq offers good value for an EV with AWD, advanced driver-assist features, and luxury design. It undercuts many rivals like the Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX1 on pricing with similar features.

    Cons

    While the Cadillac Optiq includes regenerative braking paddles, it lacks a true one-pedal driving mode, which many EV drivers prefer for city traffic.
    The sloped rear window and thick rear pillars of the Cadillac Optiq restrict rear visibility. Some reviewers noted reliance on the rear camera more than in other EVs.
    With peak DC charging at 150 kW and Level 3 charge times of 28–34 minutes, the Cadillac Optiq lags slightly behind some newer EVs offering 200+ kW charging speeds.
    While cargo space is adequate, the Cadillac Optiq’s interior lacks larger storage bins or underfloor space. Practicality could be improved for family-oriented EV buyers.
    The Cadillac Optiq does not include a rear windshield wiper, which several reviewers flagged as inconvenient—especially for Canadian winters.
