Cadillac is set to commence production of the 2026 Optiq-V, a more robust version of the brand's Chevy Equinox EV-based SUV, later this year.
The 2026 Optiq-V will boast 519 horsepower, 650 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.5-second 0-60 mph time in its most aggressive drive mode setting. It will include features like launch control, Brembo front brake calipers, and standard Super Cruise.
Equipped with a V-Mode driving system for custom drive mode configuration, the Optiq-V will offer a range of 275 miles on a single charge and come with a Tesla North American Charging Standard port.
Priced at $68,795, the 2026 Optiq-V will feature a large 33-inch touchscreen, a 19-speaker AKG Studio stereo system, Super Cruise, and Google Built-In, but will lack Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Production of the vehicle will start this fall.
