2024 was very successful year for Cadillac. First time in their history they dominated premium luxury EV market with Optic. they outsold many established companies like Audi, BMW and Mercedes. In today’s article we are reviewing all new 2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2 exploring in details its interior, exterior and performance.
Pricing Overview
Let’s begin with the pricing of 2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2. Base level trim just start at the $55,000 and top level trim cost $57,000. I believe this is the most affordable luxury EV available in the market. One thing i dislike about it is that there is no rear-drive model.
Exterior Design Elements
Lets discuss the exterior of 2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2. Up front, we see full LED headlights which has cascading waterfall effect for DRLs. New grille is now illuminated which gives a classy look to this luxury EV. I know its a crossover but it still gives you a car look because of body lines and rear fascia.
Wheel and Ride Quality
2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2 now gets 20-inch alloy wheels. Despite these large wheels you don’t feel any impact on ride quality. The gloss black trim outlines the wheel wells and adds to its aesthetic appeal.
Rear Design Inspiration
Rear design is inspired from Lyriq, we see similar sloping roofline and LED tail lights. Overall, the Optiq presents a modern, upscale look, making it competitive against rivals like the Audi Q4 and Kia EV6.
Performance Features
Lets talk the performance specs of 2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2. Powered by dual electric motors which is standard across all four trims. As per company claims it produces 300 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, with a range of around 302 miles. This range surpasses Audi Q4 and Kia EV6. I personally like its charging speed which is 80 miles of range in just 10 minutes at a DC fast charger.
Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside the Cadillac Optiq, you’ll find
- power-adjustable,
- heated, ventilated, and massaging leatherette seats for both the driver and passenger.
These seats come with three-position memory for added convenience. they are not made of leather, but still they provide good support and comfort.
Dashboard and Infotainment
Best highlight feature of 2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2 is unique 33-inch curved screen featuring Google built-in software. This is highly customizable and and you can change it according to your liking. The head-up display is placed in such a way that it ensure you keep your eyes on the road.
New infotainment system is extremely user-friendly having Google Assistant, Google Play Store, Amazon Alexa, and Google Maps in default. You can also adjust drive mode settings and activate one-pedal drive for a more engaging driving experience.
Practical Features
I love that how Optiq offers easy navigation with dual functionality with a rotary dial and quick access buttons on the center console. The cameras also gives you various angles to help you in parking assistance, ensuring you have plenty of visibility.
Rear Passenger Comfort
Second row passengers get around 38 inches of legroom which i personally think very much comfortable. The Optiq is designed as a more mature crossover, accommodating taller passengers comfortably. Additionally, rear passengers gets heated outboard seats and a center armrest with cup holders who gives these function in third row?
Cargo Space
In terms of cargo space, the Optiq offers around 26 cubic feet behind the second-row seats which i believe more compared to any other compact crossover. What more impressive is that you get 57 cubic feet space when rear seats folded.
