Optiq‑V is a performance‑oriented version of the compact luxury Optiq SUV that suits buyers who want sport‑leaning driving and premium features in a two‑row package. Vistiq is a three‑row luxury electric SUV built for buyers who need more interior space and family‑oriented utility.
Optiq‑V’s EPA‑estimated range is around 278 miles on a full charge for the performance variant, while Vistiq’s range is about 300–305 miles. Both support DC fast charging with public rapid‑charging access and can add roughly 70–80 miles of range in about 10 minutes on capable high‑power chargers. Vistiq’s larger battery also supports higher peak charging rates around 190 kW.
Optiq‑V is positioned below Cadillac’s larger SUVs with a starting price in the mid‑$60 000s in the U.S., while Vistiq starts closer to $78 000 and rises with trim and options. Optiq‑V is available in regions where the Optiq line is offered, including North America. Vistiq entered showrooms as a 2026 model with broader availability across North America and select global markets.

Optiq‑V pros: strong acceleration and handling in a compact SUV, premium interior and tech, and standard dual‑motor AWD; cons: range lower than larger EVs and cargo space limited by the size. Vistiq pros: three rows of seating and generous interior space, longer range for its class, and higher peak charging rate.
