How much is the OPTIQ-V?
Two numbers matter, and the gap between them is options, not trims.

There is one OPTIQ-V, not a ladder of trims. You pick paint, the Carbon Fiber pieces, the Santorini Blue package or the Limited Edition, and that is where the price moves. Run payments on our payment calculator, see financing options, or check current new-vehicle specials before you come in.

What is the 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ-V?
It is the OPTIQ with the V-Series treatment. Two motors drive all four wheels. Velocity Max unlocks the full torque figure, and Launch Control is how you get the 3.5-second run to 60. Continuous Damping Control keeps the body settled when the pavement is not, and Brembo front brakes with six-piston calipers handle the stops.
It still rides and sounds like a Cadillac at 70 on the highway. If you want more room or a softer drive, look at the Cadillac LYRIQ or the standard Cadillac OPTIQ first.
“If you like how the standard OPTIQ drives but want a little more power, this is the one to drive. Smash the throttle on an on-ramp and you can notice the difference.”Rochester Cadillac sales team

V-Mode and drive modes

19-speaker AKG Studio Audio
Nineteen speakers, with Dolby Atmos available. Bring your own playlist on the test drive and hear it the way you know it.
3 / 3
What does the OPTIQ-V sound like?
Cadillac gave the OPTIQ-V its own V-Series EV sound, so the quiet car still has a voice when you want one.
E-Rev
A V-Series rev sound you can play in Park or Neutral. It is fun to show a friend in the driveway.
Acceleration
An acceleration sound that rises with power as you speed up, so you can hear what the motors are doing. Try it on a test drive and decide if it is for you.
What makes the OPTIQ-V look different?
The details that set it apart from a standard OPTIQ are easy to spot once you know where to look.
Genuine carbon fiber
A carbon fiber interior accent is standard. A carbon fiber front splitter, rear spoiler and rear diffuser are available if you want the outside to match.
Santorini Blue Accent Package
An available package that adds a hit of bright blue to the black cabin. It looks best in daylight, so ask to see it outside.
Mondrian pattern on the rear quarter glass
A small line pattern in the rear side glass that nods to the V-Series flag. Most people never notice it until you point it out.
Which OPTIQ-V color should you pick?
Shown in Radiant Red Tintcoat with a black roof.
Shown in Vibrant White Tricoat with a black roof.
Shown in Monarch Orange with a black roof.
Shown in Argent Silver Metallic with a black roof.
Shown in Black Raven.
Shown in Citron Tricoat with a black roof.
Tintcoat paint changes a lot between showroom light and a gray Rochester afternoon. Tell us the colors you are considering and we will pull what we have outside so you can see it in real light.
What is the OPTIQ-V Limited Edition?
Deep Ocean Design Edition
Cadillac's limited OPTIQ-V comes with a fixed set of extras:
- Exclusive Deep Ocean Tintcoat paint
- Black interior with the Santorini Blue Interior Package
- Blue brake calipers and a Satin Graphite wheel
- Carbon Fiber Package (splitter, rocker side skirt and painted rear valance)
- All-season tires, with summer-only tires available
Cadillac calls availability extremely limited. If this is the one you want, call us early so we can check what we can order or locate.
How quick is the OPTIQ-V?
Quick enough to surprise people who think of the OPTIQ as the sensible Cadillac EV. Dual motors put power to all four wheels the moment you ask.
Velocity Max
Turn it on for 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Pair it with Launch Control for Cadillac's estimated 3.5-second run to 60.
Continuous Damping Control
Adaptive dampers read the road and keep the cabin calm over the cracks and patches you know by heart.
Brembo front brakes
Six-piston fixed front calipers give the stopping power to match the acceleration.
What is the OPTIQ-V range, and how do you charge it?
Most owners plug in at home overnight and use public fast chargers on road trips.
The OPTIQ-V has an EPA-estimated 278 miles* of range.
Add up to 31 miles in about an hour* on 11.5 kW charging.
Standard NACS port
It plugs straight into many public DC fast chargers and newer home units. Older non-NACS chargers need a GM-approved adapter.
Backup power for your home
The OPTIQ-V is V2H capable, so with the right home equipment it can power your house during an outage.
DC fast charging
Cadillac says you can add up to 71 miles of range in about 10 minutes at a public DC fast charger.
One honest note: the V-Series hardware costs some range. The standard OPTIQ goes farther, up to 317 EPA-estimated miles on rear-wheel drive. In a Minnesota winter, expect less than the sticker from any EV, especially on short, cold trips with the heat up.

Is the OPTIQ-V a good fit for southeast Minnesota?
Dual-motor AWD helps on snowy mornings, but tires matter more than badges. Cadillac offers all-season tires and available summer-only tires. Summer tires are great on a dry July road and a poor match for January, so ask us which set a car has before you buy.
Plan for less range in the cold, plug in at home every night, and the OPTIQ-V handles a normal week here without drama, including runs up Highway 52.
Why buy your OPTIQ-V from Rochester Cadillac?
You get one local team for the test drive, delivery, charging questions and service for as long as you own it. We will be straight with you about winter range, Limited Edition wait times and whether a standard OPTIQ fits your week better. Bring your trade, and we will put the numbers on one page.

In Velocity Max with Launch Control, Cadillac estimates 650 lb.-ft. of torque and 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The EPA-estimated range is 278 miles. It suits drivers who want V-Series punch in a compact luxury EV.
How much does the 2027 OPTIQ-V cost?

Taxes, title, license and fees are extra. For a real number on a vehicle we have, call sales at 507-405-2210 or check our new inventory.
What is the range of the OPTIQ-V?
Cadillac lists an EPA-estimated 278 miles. That is below the standard OPTIQ's best EPA figure of 317 miles on rear-wheel drive, which is the price of the V-Series hardware. Cold Minnesota mornings and short trips cut into any EV's range, so plan charging around your week, not the sticker number. We can map a realistic week with you.
Does the OPTIQ-V have a NACS charging port?
Yes. A NACS port is standard on the 2027 OPTIQ-V, so it plugs straight into many public DC fast chargers and newer home units. For non-NACS chargers, Cadillac says to use a GM-approved adapter. On a public DC fast charger, Cadillac says you can add up to 71 miles of range in about 10 minutes.
How fast is the 2027 OPTIQ-V?
Cadillac estimates 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with Velocity Max on and Launch Control engaged, with 650 lb.-ft. of torque in that mode. Those are Cadillac estimates. Real times depend on the road surface, tires, battery charge, temperature and how you launch it. The best way to feel it is a test drive with one of our sales staff.
Is Super Cruise standard on the OPTIQ-V?
Yes. Cadillac lists Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance as standard, with a 3-year OnStar One plan. It works on compatible mapped roads and under the conditions Cadillac lists. It assists the driver and does not replace your attention, so you stay responsible for the vehicle. Ask us to show you how it behaves on a test drive.
How does the OPTIQ-V compare with the standard OPTIQ?
The standard 2027 OPTIQ starts at $49,995 and goes farther on a charge, up to 317 EPA-estimated miles on rear-wheel drive. The OPTIQ-V adds dual-motor AWD, Velocity Max, Launch Control, Continuous Damping Control, Brembo front brakes and V-Series styling. You pay more and give up some range for that. If range matters most, start with the standard OPTIQ.
Can I charge an OPTIQ-V at home in Rochester?
Yes. Most owners charge overnight on a Level 2 home unit. Cadillac cites up to 31 miles of range in about an hour on 11.5 kW charging. If you already own a non-NACS home charger, ask about the GM-approved adapter so you are not buying new hardware on day one. We can talk through charger options when you visit.
Is the OPTIQ-V Limited Edition available?
Cadillac shows an OPTIQ-V Limited Edition called the Deep Ocean Design Edition, with Deep Ocean Tintcoat paint, Santorini Blue accents, blue brake calipers, a Satin Graphite wheel and a Carbon Fiber Package. Cadillac calls availability extremely limited. Call us early so we can check what we can order or locate before you set your heart on one.
Can I trade in my current vehicle on an OPTIQ-V?
Yes. Start with our online trade appraisal, then bring the vehicle in so we can confirm the number after a walk-around. Still owing money on it is common. We can put the trade value, payoff and financing on one worksheet before you decide, and you can ask for those numbers in writing first.
