    Road Test

    The Optiq is Cadillac's smallest electric SUV. It sits beneath the Lyriq in the lineup and is essentially a more luxurious version of the Chevrolet Equinox EV. All three vehicles share the same basic underlying design, including their batteries and electric motors. General Motors originally called this platform “Ultium,” but now uses that name only for the unique batteries co-developed with LG Energy Solution.
