Across 2,820 listed Cadillac Optiqs nationwide, the average markup is -$25 vs MSRP and 94% are listed at or below sticker, with a median advertised price of $57,421. Updated daily.
The Optiq is Cadillac's compact EV — the entry point to the brand's electric lineup, priced around $54K to start. Two-row, two-motor AWD, with a battery sized for around 300 miles of EPA range.
Two main trims: Luxury and Sport. The Sport adds the more aggressive exterior styling and the larger wheels; the Luxury is the comfort-focused trim. Super Cruise is optional and a key Cadillac differentiator in the segment.
Pricing has been competitive since the 2024 launch. Below-MSRP Optiq deals are widely available, particularly in California and the Northeast where Cadillac dealers compete hardest with the Tesla Model Y and the Genesis GV60. Stacked federal and state EV incentives narrow the effective price further. For buyers who want a Cadillac at compact-luxury-EV pricing, the Optiq is genuinely the right pick.
