Cadillac Lowers Starting Price for 2027 Optiq by $905
The base Luxury RWD trim now starts at $51,790, undercutting the initial 2027 pricing announcement.
Cadillac has revised the pricing for its entry-level electric SUV, the 2027 Optiq, reducing the starting cost for several trims by approximately $900.
What Happened
According to updated listings on Cadillac’s website, the base 2027 Optiq Luxury RWD is now priced at $51,790, which is $905 less than the initial $52,695 figure announced earlier. The Luxury AWD trim has also dropped by $905 to a starting price of $55,290. The Sport trim saw a similar reduction, with the RWD version now starting at $52,395 and the AWD version at $55,895, both $900 lower than previously stated. However, the higher-spec Premium Luxury, Premium Sport, and V-Series trims remain at their originally announced prices.
Why It Matters
The price reduction makes the Optiq, which offers up to 317 miles of range in RWD configurations, more competitive in the entry-level luxury EV segment. The vehicle comes standard with a 33-inch Horizon Display, Super Cruise hands-free driver-assist technology, and a native NACS charge port. While the Optiq remains significantly more expensive than mainstream competitors like the Tesla Model Y, which starts at $39,990 for the base RWD model, the lower entry price may help Cadillac capture buyers seeking premium features and GM’s charging infrastructure compatibility at a slightly reduced cost.
The Bottom Line
Cadillac has adjusted the 2027 Optiq's starting price downward for the Luxury and Sport trims, bringing the entry point to $51,790, while maintaining original pricing for its top-tier models.
