Lyriq vs Optiq
I'm sure this has been asked/discussed before but this is specifically for 2026.
For folks who compared and looked into Lyriq vs Optiq and decided to go with Optiq:
What were the main factors that made you go with Optiq?
Do you still believe you made the right decision? Any regrets? if yes, why?
I've been driving EVs since 2020 (Tesla MY, Ioniq5 2023 and currently Ioniq5 2025) and I'm very familiar with the EV market overall and I've been very interested in what Cadillac is doing.
At this point, I'm leaning like 60% Optiq vs 40% Lyriq based on my own research and personal preference/requirements so far but nothing beat actual feedback from current drivers.
My lease will be up early next year and I know that's like 6 months from now but I usually start my research early so I'm fully sold on my next car. I haven't test driven either one but I plan to do so in the next month or so.
