One of my favorite EV I’ve tested in the last year was the Cadillac Lyriq, which wowed me with its premium features, stunning design, and advanced super cruise control system. While I said it’s one I could buy with my own money, the $62,000 sticker price of the model I drove would still be a stretch. That’s why the Cadillac Optiq exists.
With an MSRP of $57,090, the 2025 Cadillac Optiq Sport 2 that I drove for a week is slightly easier to swallow — although still pricey when you look at what the average EV sells for. Still, it blends luxury and entertainment into a crossover SUV that appears to be nothing more than a baby brother to the bigger, more expensive Lyriq.
