The short version
The 2027 Cadillac OPTIQ starts at $50,900, goes 317 miles on a charge, sips electricity at 105 MPGe. Here's what the EPA numbers actually mean.
Pricing
Starts at $50,900 before destination, across 6 EPA-rated trims. We verify every price by hand against manufacturer and dealer sources — if we can't confirm a number, we leave it blank instead of guessing.
Range and efficiency
EPA-tested at 317 miles of range and 105 MPGe combined. That's the lab number every car takes, so it's the fairest comparison there is. In the real world, knock off 10–20% for highway speed and cold weather. Cheaper trims with smaller wheels actually go farther — the lineup stretches from 250 to 317 miles.
Charging and fuel cost
At the U.S. average of $0.17 per kWh, 12,000 miles a year costs about $655 in electricity — roughly $55 a month. That's the whole fuel story; there are no oil changes either. Plug in your own rates in the fuel cost calculator.
Fast charging
On a DC fast charger it peaks at 150 kW — enough to add serious miles in the time it takes to grab coffee. Figures are manufacturer ratings for the best trim; real-world peaks vary with battery temperature and state of charge.
