    Thanks for the video! We just ordered an Optiq without seeing one in person. This really solidifies our decision. We’re excited for it to come in.

      I too want the new Optiq, but every dealer I’ve talked to doesn’t know when they will get one. You said you ordered one but they tell me you can place a specific order, but it will be put on a list and when it’s available you don’t know where your order is on the list. Are you in the U.S. and did you get the $7500 tax credit? What color combination did you order? Thanks

    How does the battery range hold up in cold weather? 🥶

    • @Mariini
      @Mariini Годину тому

      Depends what you consider 'cold ' With all EVs you should consider ⅓ off from the "promised" or advertised range when it goes below -20°C or so. One can reduce the effect if you precondition your car before.
      Lvl 2 in your home is a must and takes the stress away.

    Nice. It's a Equinox EV turned Cadillac. Same battery specs / 300HP. Lyric is a Blazer EV turned Cadillac but has over 500HP.

    • @Molishious
      @Molishious 2 дні тому

      Good point. Wish they gave this at least 50 more hp and a rear wiper. The Lyriq has a bigger battery that is available on the Blazer in certain configurations. Guessing that’s why they can give it more hp and maintain the range. Otherwise I think they did a good job of differentiating it for the Equinox EV.

    The Optiq is not the same size as the XT4. It is roughly the same as the XT5. The level 2 trims come with a head-up display. You are showing a level 1 trim.

    I was actually impressed by the driver interior space of the Optiq.
    I have a Lyriq and I'm comfortable in it, although I'm a tall and big guy.
    I expected the Optiq to be smaller and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't.
    The Optiq, however for some reason loses the XT4's massage seats while the new XT4 gained the Optiq's infotainment but doesn't get supercruise.
    Cadillac isn't serious.
    They refuse to swing for the fences.
    And that's the biggest problem I have with my Lyriq.
    Rear headrest monitors should be optional and for an Android based system, you aren't allowed to watch UA-cam/videos or use the web on that big touchscreen. The Escalade has it though.
    It's ridiculous that the CT6 had more features and then they discontinued it in America while updating it to the Lyriq interior in China.
    Someday all the bean counters at Cadillac will get FIRED and they'll compete with Mercedes and BMW.

    Note, the Cadillac Optiq is closer in size to the XT5, not the XT4, Cadillac will need a true subcompact EV SUV, here are the specs of the Optiq, XT5, and XT4 (all in inches):
    2025 Cadillac Optiq: L - 189.8, WB - 116.3, W - 75.3, H - 64.7, F LR - 41.6 / R LR - 37.8
    2024 Cadillac XT5: L - 189.6, WB - 112, W - 74.9, H - 66.1, F LR - 41.2 / R LR - 39
    2024 Cadillac XT4: L - 181.1, WB - 109.4, W - 76.7, H - 64.1, F LR - 41.1 / R LR - 39.5

    Not convinced that it won’t need a rear wiper. The Ioniq 5 has a rear wiper now after claiming is was unnecessary. The Equinox EV has one and it’s the same car.

    On par with the Toyota Venza. The Venza doesn't have massaging seats but has instant sunroof that frosted to help bloack the sun but let diffused sunlight in.
    This is electric while the Venza is gas but gets 40-50mpg which is better for longer trips.
