Before it was officially revealed by General Motors, the production-spec Cadillac Optiq was leaked in China. Through these leaked photos, it was confirmed that the Optiq would indeed be positioned below the Cadillac Lyriq, as GM Authority had extensively reported.

In regards to exterior dimensions, the Optiq is actually larger than the both the compact Cadillac XT4 and midsize Cadillac XT5, the former of which is intended to stand as the EV’s ICE-powered counterpart.
