Cadillac Puts the V Mark on Another Electric Crossover for 2026

Cadillac's performance letter has a new home for the 2026 model year: the Optiq-V, a battery-powered crossover that becomes the latest electric Cadillac to carry that designation. Car and Driver has published a set of exterior photographs showing the car from the outside. For collectors who track the V lineage closely, the images give a first look at how the marque has dressed its newest performance-badged EV. We have not driven it, and so we will reserve any judgment of the car itself until we do.
