2027 Cadillac OPTIQ: Range, Trims, and Family Value

The 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ is the right choice for Northern Virginia professionals and families who want a fully electric luxury SUV with up to 317 mi of EPA-estimated range, 300 hp, and a refined 5-passenger cabin starting at $49,995 MSRP. Rear-wheel drive trims deliver the longest range; all-wheel drive variants trade roughly 14 miles for added traction confidence. The V-Series steps up to 519 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque for buyers who want performance alongside luxury.

How Much Does the 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ Cost to Own?

 

The 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ starts at $49,995 MSRP for the Luxury rear-wheel drive trim, with a $1,795 destination charge applied across all configurations. That puts the entry point well within reach of the dual-income households common to Fairfax and Loudoun County, while the lineup scales up to $67,500 for the V-Series. Because the OPTIQ runs entirely on electricity, ongoing fuel costs are dramatically lower than a comparable gasoline luxury SUV — the RWD trims rate at 105 MPGe combined, and even the AWD configurations hold a strong 99 MPGe combined.

 

 

All trims share a destination charge of $1,795.

 

 

The city MPGe figure of 117 on RWD trims is particularly meaningful for daily stop-and-go driving, since electric motors recover energy during deceleration. Shoppers who are weighing a pre-owned alternative can also browse our pre-owned vehicle inventory for available OPTIQ and other luxury EV options.

Sleek Styling That Fits Fair Oaks’ Upscale Suburbs

 

The 2027 OPTIQ’s exterior design is immediately distinguishable from conventional luxury crossovers: sharp creased body lines, a low roofline at 64.7 in tall, and flush door handles that sit level with the bodywork give it a sculpted, purposeful stance. At 189.8 in long and 75.3 in wide (84 in including mirrors), the proportions are confident without being oversized — a practical consideration on Fair Oaks’ tree-lined residential streets and tighter parking structures near shopping destinations.

 

 

The front features projector-beam LED headlights with automatic high-beam control and LED daytime running lights, creating a signature light signature that reads as unmistakably premium whether you’re pulling into a Fair Oaks Park parking lot or queuing at a school drop-off. A roof spoiler adds a subtle aerodynamic flourish without compromising the clean silhouette. Body-color painted bumpers front and rear maintain visual continuity, while chrome bright trim frames the side windows on Luxury-tier configurations.

 

 

Paint choices include Metallic Paint and Premium Paint options, and buyers on Sport-oriented trims can specify a Black Painted Roof for a two-tone contrast that suits the sportier character of those configurations. The Premium Luxury trim also opens up a 21-inch Dark Gloss wheel option, stepping up from the standard 20-inch alloys shared across most of the lineup.

 

 

If you’re planning to move from your current vehicle into the OPTIQ, now is a good time to get an estimate on your trade-in value before your visit.

Power and Range Built for Your Commute

 

Every 2027 OPTIQ except the V-Series produces 300 hp and 261 lb-ft of torque through a single-speed automatic transmission. The V-Series raises those figures substantially to 519 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque — a meaningful leap for buyers who prioritize performance. All trims use an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor, and AWD configurations add a second motor at the front axle for full-time all-wheel drive.

For the commuter driving the Dulles Toll Road or Fairfax County Parkway daily, the RWD trims’ 317 mi of estimated range means a typical week of driving — including errands, school runs, and weekend recreation — can pass without a single public charging stop. AWD trims deliver 303 mi, which still covers most Northern Virginia commute patterns comfortably. The V-Series, with its performance-focused calibration, returns 278 mi.

 

 

The 85 kWh battery supports DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, meaning a 10%-to-80% charge takes approximately 0.54 hours at maximum speed. The standard onboard charger handles Level 2 charging at 11.5 kW; an optional Charging Module 19.2kW upgrade reduces a full 0%-to-100% Level 2 charge to approximately 5.8 hours, which fits neatly into an overnight home charging routine.

 

 

Front and rear suspension use independent multi-link coil setups, delivering the composed, quiet ride character that makes extended commutes feel far less taxing. When you’re ready to move forward, you can start your financing application online to streamline the purchase process.

 

Comfort and Space for Family Adventures

 

Five passengers and about 26 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats — expanding to about 57 cu ft with the rear bench folded — make the OPTIQ a genuinely practical family vehicle without sacrificing the cabin refinement expected of a Cadillac. The rear seat splits and folds asymmetrically, which matters when you need to carry both passengers and longer cargo simultaneously, such as bikes or sports equipment for a weekend at Broad Run Stream Valley Park.

 

 

Passenger dimensions are generous throughout: 39.6 in of front headroom and 38.7 in rear, 41.6 in front legroom and 37.8 in rear, and 57 in of front shoulder room narrowing only slightly to 56 in in the rear. Hip room measures 55 in up front and 51 in in back — figures that give adults genuine comfort on longer drives, not just on paper.

 

 

Front seats are electrically adjustable with 6-way power movement on both driver and passenger sides. The driver’s seat adds full memory settings for height, reach, reclining, and tilt — a practical feature for households where two drivers share the vehicle regularly. Premium Luxury and above add ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, meaningful upgrades for Northern Virginia’s humid summers and cold winters.

 

 

Interior trim on all variants includes synthetic leather upholstery (Inteluxe on Luxury, Perforated Interluxe on Premium Luxury and above), woodgrain accents on the doors and center console, and illuminated alloy door sill protectors. The cabin also features a panoramic roof with an electric sunshade, ambient lighting with color selection, and front and rear reading lights. USB charging ports total five — three up front and two in the rear — plus a wireless charging pad. For questions about genuine Cadillac accessories that can further customize your cabin, reach our parts department directly.

Smart Tech That Keeps You Connected

 

The OPTIQ’s technology centerpiece is a 33-inch curved touchscreen that spans from the driver’s instrument cluster through the center stack — a single continuous display surface that integrates the reconfigurable TFT instrument cluster and the infotainment interface into one seamless unit. It is touch-responsive throughout and supports a steering wheel control for hands-free interaction while driving.

 

 

Premium Luxury, Premium Sport, and V-Series trims add a head-up display projected onto the windshield, keeping speed, navigation, and driver assistance cues in the driver’s forward sightline — a practical benefit on busy suburban roads where glancing down repeatedly adds fatigue.

 

 

The standard audio system is a 19-speaker AKG setup with a subwoofer and surround sound, delivering concert-quality audio whether you’re streaming music on a morning commute or enjoying a family road trip. Satellite radio is included with a 36-month subscription, and internet radio is also standard.

 

 

Connectivity runs through an embedded SIM card with a 3-month Wi-Fi hotspot subscription included, and OnStar and Cadillac Connected services provide 96 months of telematics coverage. Remote services — including lock/unlock, vehicle start, remote seat heating control, send-to-car navigation, and theft alert — are included for 36 months. Remote battery management, which lets you monitor and schedule charging from your phone, is also included for 36 months.

 

 

Navigation is internet-fed with satellite view, traffic information, and EV intelligent route planning that factors in charging stops when needed. Map updates and traffic subscriptions run for 96 months. Over-the-air software updates keep the system current without requiring a dealer visit. The Google virtual assistant is integrated natively, and Bluetooth® connectivity is standard across all trims. The system also includes a built-in apps platform and app control interface. Super Cruise™— Cadillac’s hands-free highway driving technology — is standard across all trims, enabling true hands-free driving on compatible mapped highways, which is a genuine quality-of-life feature on the long stretches of I-66 or Route 28 that many Northern Virginia commuters travel daily.

 

Protection Tailored for Busy Roads

 

The 2027 OPTIQ carries a comprehensive suite of standard advanced driver-assistance systems across every trim level. The collision avoidance architecture centers on Forward Collision Alert, which activates at speeds as low as 5 mph and includes automatic emergency braking, brake activation at low speed front and rear, a driver attention monitor, and automatic hazard light activation in a hard-stop event. Front cross-traffic collision avoidance uses radar and camera inputs; rear cross-traffic collision avoidance uses camera monitoring.

 

 

Blind Zone Steering Assist watches the lanes adjacent to the vehicle and can apply gentle steering corrections when a driver begins to drift toward an occupied blind zone — a meaningful safety layer on high-speed multi-lane roads. Lane departure warning with active steering correction is also standard, working in concert with Super Cruise™ to keep the vehicle properly positioned.

 

 

The HD Surround Vision system combines front, rear, and side cameras into a 360-degree 3D-enhanced overhead view, making parking in tight spaces — shopping center garages, school drop-off lanes, neighborhood cul-de-sacs — considerably less stressful. Automatic parking assistance with full auto park, perpendicular parking, and exit functionality is also included.

 

 

Structural safety is supported by 8 airbags deployed across front (driver and passenger), front side, front and rear curtain, and driver and passenger knee positions. All seating positions feature pre-tensioner seatbelts; the rear center seat has a 3-point belt. ISOFIX child seat anchor points are standard. The Pedestrian Audio Warning System alerts pedestrians in low-speed environments where the electric powertrain is otherwise silent. Emergency call capability and an accident data recorder round out the passive safety suite. Electronic stability control, roll stability control, and hill-hold assist are also standard across all trims.

Breaking Down 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ Trim Pricing

 

The nine-trim OPTIQ lineup divides into three character families: Luxury/Luxury AWD for entry-level buyers, Sport/Sport AWD for those who want a more aggressive exterior presence, Premium Luxury/Premium Luxury AWD and Premium Sport/Premium Sport AWD for mid-tier buyers seeking elevated interior appointments, and the V-Series at the top for performance-focused shoppers.

 

 

The Luxury at $49,995 and Luxury AWD at $53,495 establish the baseline with the full technology suite, Super Cruise™, AKG audio, HD Surround Vision, and Inteluxe synthetic leather upholstery. The $3,500 AWD premium buys the dual-motor system and adds 14 miles of range trade-off.

 

 

The Sport at $50,600 and Sport AWD at $54,100 sit just above Luxury pricing but introduce a sportier exterior treatment — black window surround trim replaces chrome, and the Sport-specific option list includes 21-inch After Midnight wheels and Gloss Black Alloy Wheels. The interior steps up to Perforated Interluxe upholstery with a wider color palette including Autumn Canyon, Phantom Blue, Sky Cool Gray, and Black.

 

 

The Premium Luxury at $53,200 and Premium Luxury AWD at $56,700 add ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a head-up display, cornering lights, a standard rigid cargo area cover, and full memory settings for both front seats — the passenger seat gains memory lumbar on this tier. The Premium Sport at $53,700 and Premium Sport AWD at $57,200 combine the Sport exterior character with the Premium interior appointments, including the head-up display and wrap-around ambient lighting.

 

 

The V-Series at $67,500 stands alone with its 519 hp dual-motor AWD powertrain, 650 lb-ft of torque, and 278 mi of range — the performance halo of the lineup for buyers who want Cadillac’s most capable electric expression.

 

 

Dealer-installed packages available across multiple trims include the Floor Liner Package, Premium Carpet Package, Cargo Convenience Package (rigid cargo cover and load net), and a range of charging packages including the Charging Essentials Package, Level 2 and Fast Charging Adapter Package, and Premium Charging Package. The Onyx Package (Dealer) is exclusive to Sport-family trims.

 

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for OPTIQ Owners

 

The 2027 OPTIQ carries a 4-year / 50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, a 4-year / 50,000-mile anti-corrosion warranty, and a 12-month full-service warranty. Roadside assistance coverage extends to 72 months / 70,000 miles— a notably generous term that reflects the confidence Cadillac places in the vehicle’s long-term reliability.

 

 

The high-voltage battery and electric systems each carry an 8-year / 100,000-mile OEM warranty, which directly addresses one of the most common concerns EV shoppers raise about long-term ownership costs. Battery replacement is among the most expensive potential repairs on any EV, so this coverage provides meaningful peace of mind for buyers planning to keep the vehicle well beyond the initial ownership period.

 

 

For buyers considering a certified pre-owned Cadillac as an alternative or complement to a new OPTIQ purchase, you can explore our certified pre-owned inventory for available options with their own coverage terms. When it comes time for scheduled maintenance on your new OPTIQ, Moore Cadillac Chantilly’s service team uses genuine Cadillac parts and is available to keep your vehicle performing as designed — you can book a service appointment online at your convenience.

Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ’s Excellence

 

No specific third-party awards or press highlight data was provided for the 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ in the catalog materials for this article. What the catalog data does confirm is a vehicle engineered to a high standard across every measurable dimension: a 317-mile EPA-estimated range that leads the competitive conversation in its segment, standard Super Cruise™ hands-free highway driving on every trim, a 19-speaker AKG surround sound system, and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty that signals genuine long-term durability confidence.

 

 

The OPTIQ competes directly with vehicles like the BMW iX, Lexus RZ, and Genesis GV70 Electrified. Against that field, the combination of Super Cruise™ availability at every price point, the breadth of the nine-trim lineup from $49,995 to $67,500, and the class-leading range on RWD configurations represent a compelling value argument that the market is beginning to recognize. As the 2027 model year accumulates road time and independent reviews, the technical substance already visible in the specification sheet positions the OPTIQ as a serious contender for luxury EV recognition in its category.
