2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V w/NACS
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
I love the color blue but that blue thing in the dash looks disgusting and tacky and not even in a good way. That should be wood. It reminds me of those ugly spray painted dashboards that mostly hispanics have in their old trucks around here.
WOW, no TABLET glued to the dash!
That works for me.

the whole dash is one big tablet....
At least it doesn't look like a cheap afterthought.
no it looks like sitting at a desk playing a race sim.
275 range is a little low, depending on how you use it. That's like 220 miles at 80%

The native NACS is only on the Optiq-V though? Or on all 2026 Optiq, and they've just introduced the 26 Optiq-V early?
It could be NACS in the regular OPTIQ too. The full order guide/details aren't out yet for the 2026 lineup - we’ll see.
The 2026 Equinox EV and Blazer EV are not getting NACS. Probably 2027.
Looks great!
Total range is just ok.
0-60 is great, I wonder if you need any limited/ timed special mode to do that or do you just mash the go pedal ?
Weight?
10-80% charge time?
Range added when hot /cold in 15 minutes on optimum network and on tesla network (could be the same) ?
Whats MPKWH @ 80 with Ac on?
Curious to see what the bank of GM will put the residual at for a lease payment.

Agree with all. Not a bad price wise as I had anticipated. Looks like a nice vehicle if it can make a good lifetime. Perhaps these will be a screaming deal used. Other than cars I cannot get anymore, I’m generally not a used car fan, but for an ev, it may be the better bet. But range depleti9n three years in may also be a factor then….

That might be the only thing to stick with that many subwoofers
I suspect GM knows what it is doing, its market share and what its customers want. Cadillac is now GMs luxury EV line and it was intended to be this way. Its customers love the cars and they are in a segment that should not be adversely affected by the end of tariffs.
Time will tell. We only know one couple with one a few blocks from where we live, we see them at social events from time to time and with enthusiasm they speak on how they love their Cadillac EV ... (Im not sure which model now that I think of it)
With that said, let's hope GM doesnt screw it up *LOL* One thing they do right is the "look" that Optiq looks awesome! Sorry Tesla, Kia whoever else/// etc

I’m seeing them in the cities - not the small towns …
Well, some small dealers dropped Caddy over EV …
The only way I would even consider an EV is to lease it but Pass on anything GM or Ford make, no Tesla but that goes without saying.
BMW, VW, BYD would be my choice if forced into owning one with no alternative.

Or just buy used.
A used what? EV? Hard pass!
I've had two used. A Focus Electric and a Jaguar I-Pace. Both were great inexpensive transportation. Let the first owner take the depreciation hit, then swoop in.
