Cadillac's most affordable EV just got a bit cheaper

The 2027 Cadillac Optiq offers up to 317 miles of range, a massive 33″ infotainment screen, an NACS charge port, and now it’s a bit more affordable.

📌 The Core Development

The Optiq first went on sale in 2025 as Cadillac’s entry-level electric SUV, starting at $54,390. For the 2026 model year , the Optiq arrived as GM’s first electric vehicle with a built-in NACS port and added a new rear-wheel-drive (RWD) powertrain.

Thanks to the new RWD option, the 2026 Optiq ( see our review ) was also slightly less expensive, with prices starting at $52,395.
