Cadillac Optiq is the brand's new entry-level electric SUV. American Cars And Racing Executive Editor Gary Gastelu reviews.

As GM Authority anticipated last year, GM has officially confirmed its intention to launch the Cadillac brand in Brazil by year’s end or in early 2026.

A few hundred people carrying signs expressing displeasure and concern about actions taken by President Donald Trump met Saturday at the Cadillac City Park.

Rolling into its seventh model year, the Cadillac CT4 is unchanged for 2026 but still offers a variety of powertrain configurations at a base price that undercuts most of its competitors.

The Optiq-V’s twin electric motors ― one on each axle for AWD ― are the ones used in Cadillac’s midsize Lyriq EV. They’re bigger than the base Optiq, which produces 300 hp and 354 pound-feet of torque. The V’s 10-module battery is the same size at the base Optiq.

During the online reveal of the recently introduced Optiq-V, Cadillac mentioned that it currently has one of the highest electric vehicle (EV) conquesting rates in the industry. What this essentially means is that its EVs are attracting buyers from other brands, and, by extension, stealing sales from other automakers.

Cadillac City Paris leans into the brand’s heritage of innovation and fashion to reintroduce itself to Europe as an EV brand.

Cadillac is going after the younger market that loves foreign cars with the performance version of its OPTIQ. The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V compact SUV will have an incredible 519 horsepower.

As of this writing, Cadillac no longer offers a large, roomy sedan. The final front-wheel-drive XTS appeared in 2019, and the XT6 in 2020. A shame. I believe there’s always a place for a large Cadillac,
