The 2025 Cadillac Optiq got its U.S. debut late last May, dropping cover as Caddy’s new entry-level, all-electric crossover. Pricing starts under the $55,000 mark. Now, interested fans and potential customers can spec the new Optiq using the official online configurator tool at Cadillac’s website.
As GM Authority covered previously, the 2025 Cadillac Optiq is available in multiple trim levels and configurations, starting with the entry-level Luxury 1, priced at $54,390. The Sport 1 trim is $54,990, while the Luxury 2 is $56,590 and the Sport 2 is $57,090.
Of course, customers have a range of upgrades at their disposal to customize the Optiq, whether it’s for added comfort, convenience, or style. Highlights include the Autumn Canyon (RPO code EFP) and Phantom Blue (RPO code EFG) interior colorways, both of which are priced at $1,100 and are only available for the Luxury 2 and Sport 2 trim levels. There’s also a pair of optional 21-inch wheels on offer, including Dark Android full gloss painted alloy wheels (RPO code RVR) and After Midnight painted alloy wheels (RPO code RVU) available for the Luxury 2 and Sport 2 trims, respectively, both priced at $700.
As for the exterior color lineup, Black Raven (paint code GBA) is the only paint option offered at no extra cost. The other eight paint options are priced between $625 and $1,225, with varying availability depending on the trim level selected. There’s also a black painted roof option (RPO code 41T, $600) for those customers who prefer the two-tone look.

Comments
Seriously? You cannot combine the Autumn Canyon interior with the Radiant Red Exterior? But I can however combine it with the phantom blue. These two colors cannot clash any more if they tried but a neutral tan interior cannot work? Can somebody please review the work of whoever came up with the color palette offerings?
Oh, see, I never got past the Luxury 1 and Sport 1 trims, with their all-black or white and blue interior choices. I guess I’m budget-minded, even when fooling around with build & price sites.
you probably can if you go directly through a dealer. Because you haven’t bought the car yet, they’re more likely to accommodate you.
Probably not. It’s not the “anything goes, order what you want” 1960’s and dealers can’t do overrides like they used to.
Its interesting how during COVID everyone was floating the idea of going all in on the Tesla model of factory ordering in an attempt to do away with excess dealer inventory. Fast forward to today, that went completely out the window and now GM is trying to sing to the Toyota model tune of allocation and simplifying packages. I knew this factory ordering nonsense wasn’t going to last long.
It absolutely does not work like that. It has nothing to do with the dealer, GM’s order workbench will not allow for certain color combinations to be selected. Period, end of story.
In the past, I’ve encounter instances where I had issues selecting options on the website that were actually available, which is why I said probably.
Red and blue don’t clash,, Autumn Canyon isn’t “neutral tan”, it’s more like terra cotta which would clash with red due to the “orange-nish” of it.
agreed, I do not get why they limit the autumn canyon interior to so few colors
I’d rather get this than a XT-5 to be really honest about it.
This is more of an XT4 replacement and the lyriq is an XT5 replacement but I still agree. The XT5 and XT6 have not been competitive for a while
The Optiq is the same size as an XT5.
I don’t know about that. I have an XT5 and drove a loaner Lyriq for a day and I would say the Lyriq is on par with the XT5 and Optiq on par with the XT4 (I’d have to see one in person to really tell for sure). However I was pleasantly surprised as to how roomy the Equinox EV looked in person so hopefully I will get the same reaction with the Optiq.
One thing I did notice with the Lyriq, it feels less SUV-like than my XT5 and more traditional wagon like. And the back seat certainly felt roomier.
Needs the 3.6L. Maybe the 3.6L TT in a V option.
Me thinks that there are a lot of shared manufacturing and some parts with an Equinox EV.
I own a 2024 Equinox 2LT EV but I only ended paying $32,000 out the door for it after all the incentives. I think that this Caddy will cost a lot more.
For the record my Equinox EV has been surprisingly good so far. My Equinox is my fourth EV.
