AutoExec Summary
The Cadillac Optiq, a new mid-size luxury electric SUV, has been unveiled at Auto Guangzhou and could be coming to Australia. Smaller than the upcoming Lyriq, the Optiq aims to compete with the Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3, and Polestar 4. While currently built for the Chinese market, it’s expected to rival these models locally. The Optiq might start around $100,000, compared to the Lyriq’s projected $130,000-$150,000. Another potential model for Australia is the full-size Escalade IQ electric SUV, expected to exceed $200,000. GMANZ is exploring options to expand Cadillac’s local service and experience centres.
