2026 Cadillac OPTIQ or Genesis GV60? Choosing Your Next Electric SUV
November 17 2025,
The electric SUV segment is heating up, and two models making serious noise are the 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ and the Genesis GV60 EV. Both bring style, modern tech, and premium comfort, but they do so in different ways. The OPTIQ feels confident and athletic with a bold luxury presence, while the GV60 delivers a sleek, playful approach to design and driving. If you’re exploring the future of EV driving with a touch of sophistication, this comparison will help you understand how each one fits your lifestyle.
Power, Performance, and Confidence on the Road
The standard Cadillac OPTIQ offers a single motor RWD setup with a Cadillac-estimated 510 km of range on a full charge and smooth, responsive acceleration. You can also opt for dual motor AWD delivering approximately 440 horsepower, providing a more commanding feel when merging, passing, or handling winter weather. The Genesis GV60, in its standard RWD configuration, produces 225 horsepower with a similar instant electric torque feel. In AWD form, power steps up depending on the trim, offering stronger acceleration for those who want something more spirited. Driving dynamics feel light and energetic, while the OPTIQ leans more toward planted confidence and refined stability on the road.
Design That Speaks for Itself
The Cadillac OPTIQ makes a statement the moment you see it. Its illuminated Black Crystal grille, clean LED lighting shapes, and sweeping glass rooflines give it a polished and upscale look. The cabin is immersive with the 33-inch LED display stretching across the dashboard, along with available massaging seats, refined finishes, and a crafted sense of space. The Genesis GV60 leans toward a rounded, futuristic style with softer edges and playful personality touches like its orb-style shift control and vibrant trim accents. The interior design prioritizes a more minimalist lounge feel where everything is subtle and tucked away visually.
Technology That Helps You Unwind, Not Overthink
The Cadillac OPTIQ includes Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance with a 3-year trial, letting you relax on supported highways while staying in full control. The infotainment suite runs smoothly thanks to the Google built-in integration, plus the AKG Studio Surround system adds rich and warm sound with Dolby Atmos capability. The Genesis GV60 uses an intuitive digital cluster design and touchscreen setup, with a focus on seamless app connectivity and user-friendly controls. It also includes driver assistance features designed to help reduce fatigue on longer drives.
Space, Practicality, and Everyday Ease
The OPTIQ provides up to 736-litre of rear cargo volume with thoughtful storage placement, making road trips, groceries, golf bags, or gear days easy. The overall cabin layout feels open and flexible, great for daily tasks and weekend escapes alike. The GV60 has a compact footprint, which is great for urban parking and agile city driving, but it offers less storage and passenger room than the OPTIQ. It’s ideal for drivers who want compact luxury with EV efficiency.
