The 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V got its big debut earlier this month, bolstering Caddy’s performance lineup with a new a compact crossover offering that delivers both speed and style, all with a cutting-edge zero-emission powertrain under the skin. Naturally, the new Optiq-V stands out thanks to a unique exterior treatment. Now, however, we’re going into the cabin to take a look at the 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V’s two interior colorway options.
Noir
Sky Cool Gray with Santorini Blue accents
Inside, the 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V features Inteluxe seating with perforated inserts, which are available in two color combinations: Noir, and Sky Cool Gray with Santorini Blue accents. While both colors are shared with select trims of the 2025 Optiq, the V-Series variant stands out for its carbon fiber interior trim, which is absent from the standard model.
The upgraded interior complements the Optiq-V’s performance-oriented design. For the exterior, the vehicle features a V-pattern mesh grille, high-gloss front splitter, rocker extensions, and body-colored lower cladding. Satin graphite 21-inch wheels and V-Series badging complete the crossover’s sporty stance.
Underneath the bodywork, the Optiq-V runs on dual electric motors producing a combined 519 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. Performance is amplified with Velocity Max mode active, enabling the crossover to run from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Power is supplied by an 85 kWh battery pack, while range-per-charge is estimated at 275 miles. The GM BEV3 platform provides the bones.
Speaking of electricity, the 2026 Optiq-V is the first GM model to feature a factory-installed North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. As such, Optiq-V customers will have access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, as well as other fast-charging public infrastructure.
Additional performance-focused features include Brembo front brakes, while on the tech front, we find the GM Super Cruise system, which enables hands-free driver assistance on select highways.
Price for entry starts at $68,795, including the destination charge. Production will kick off this fall at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.
