Amidst the bustling atmosphere of Auto China 2024, or the 18th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, Cadillac seized the spotlight with its latest offering: the 2025 Optiq, positioned as the younger sibling to the Lyriq. Boasting a 33-inch curved display and two powertrain options, the Optiq aims to make a lasting impression.

The base model features an electric motor on the front axle, delivering 241 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a 68.4 kWh lithium-ion battery offering up to 333 miles on a single charge.

Positioned as Cadillac’s entry-level electric vehicle, the Optiq is poised to make waves in the American market. On the opposite end of the spectrum lies the illustrious Cadillac Celestiq, a five-door liftback serving as the brand’s flagship luxury EV.

With the GM BEV3 platform, Ultium technology, and two electric motors providing all-wheel drive capabilities, the Celestiq boasts a combined output of 600 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. With a 111 kWh battery and rapid recharging capabilities, it exemplifies Cadillac’s commitment to luxury and performance.

However, amidst the buzz surrounding Cadillac’s electric lineup, enthusiasts and virtual artists like Vince Burlapp envision a nostalgic revival: the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Imagined as a two-door convertible EV, the Eldorado Biarritz embodies Cadillac’s legacy of luxury and opulence, evoking memories of the past while embracing the future of electric mobility.

As Cadillac continues to innovate and expand its electric portfolio, the possibilities seem endless. From entry-level offerings like the Optiq to flagship models like the Celestiq and dream projects like the Eldorado Biarritz, Cadillac’s vision for the future of electric mobility knows no bounds.
