In range, the Optiq reaches around 400 km per charge, slightly below the Lyriq’s estimated 420 km. Charging speeds differ as well: the Optiq supports up to 200 kW fast charging, reaching 80% in about 25 minutes, whereas the Lyriq can handle up to 190 kW, achieving 80% charge in roughly 30 minutes.
Price-wise, the Optiq is positioned below the Lyriq, reflecting its smaller size and sedan format. Both models are available in select North American and European markets. This comparison helps buyers decide between a luxury sedan and a mid-size electric SUV within Cadillac’s portfolio.

Optiq pros: longer range, faster charging, refined interior; cons: smaller cargo space, less versatile for families. Lyriq pros: spacious cabin, higher seating position, strong range; cons: slightly slower charging, higher price.
