The 2025 Cadillac Optiq electric luxury crossover is the newest model and most affordable entry in Cadillac’s EV lineup. It features a significant number of options, slick modern styling, and advanced safety features. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Optiq’s Onyx Package (RPO code PDB).
The Onyx Package, which costs $3,995 and is available on all four trims, adds 21-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels (LPO VSP), Vader chrome mirror caps (LPO 5JR), puddle lamps (LPO S3I), black wheel lug nuts (LPO SPY), black wheel locks (LPO SPZ), and 275/40R21 all-season tires (QLT). It can be combined with all Optiq paint colors, and with or without a Black-painted roof.
Vader chrome is something we normally see on Denali Ultimate GMC models, like the GMC Sierra and GMC Yukon. It’s a stylish dark chrome finish that’s a nice touch on the Optiq’s mirror caps; it’s a little more aesthetically interesting than just gloss black.
Speaking of gloss black, the Onyx Package is the only way to get these 21-inch gloss black wheels. Another black wheel option for the Optiq is the 21-inch After Midnight painted alloy wheels (RVU) which are a $700 option on the Sport 2 trim. The dark look is completed by black lug nuts and wheel locks.
Puddle lamps don’t really do anything for the dark aesthetic of the Onyx Package, but it’s a nice extra feature that comes with the package. It’s a tasteful play on Cadillac‘s Mondrian line design theme and has the practical benefit of giving you a little extra illumination as you enter and exit the Optiq in a dark garage or parking lot.
Pricing for the 2025 Cadillac Optiq ranges from $54,390 for the entry-level Luxury 1 trim to a high of $57,090 starting MSRP for the range-topping Sport 2. The 2025 Optiq’s official configurator is live on the Cadillac website. The Optiq is motivated by a dual-motor AWD setup comprised of GM electric drive motors, developing 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, up to 300 miles of range on a single charge is offered by the 85 kW GM battery pack.
The GM BEV3 platform underpins the compact Cadillac electric crossover. Deliveries of the Optiq began in late January, and production for all markets except China takes place at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.
