2025 Cadillac Optiq Offers A Lot Of Standard Safety Features

Introduced back in May 2024, the 2025 Cadillac Optiq joins the luxury marque’s ever-expanding electric vehicle portfolio as a smaller alternative its bigger brother, the Cadillac Lyriq. Despite having a smaller footprint, the Optiq is packed with a wealth of standard safety features, and below, Cadillac Society outlines what those features are. 

All trim levels of the Optiq, including Luxury 1, Sport 1, Luxury 2, and Sport 2, are fitted with quite a few standalone safety features, along with two standard safety packages – the Active Safety Package 1 (production code AS1) and the Active Safety Package 2 (production code AS2). 

Standalone safety features include the following (relevant production codes listed in parentheses):

  • Forward Collision Alert (UEU)
  • Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking (UKT)
  • Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking (UGN)
  • Rear Cross Traffic Braking (UFB)
  • Reverse Automatic Braking (UVZ)
  • Blind Zone Steering Assist (UKI)
  • Buckle to Drive (T8Z)
  • Rear Seat Reminder (RSR)
  • Safety Alert Seat (HS1)
  • IntelliBeam automatic high beams (TQ5)

Meanwhile, the Active Safety Packages include the following:

Active Safety Package 1

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (KSG)
  • Rear Pedestrian Alert (UKK)
  • Side Bicyclist Alert (UOW)
  • HD Surround Vision (UZC/UV2)
  • Traffic Sign Recognition (UVX)
  • Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking (CTB)

Active Safety Package 2

  • Super Cruise (UKL)
  • Driver Attention Assist (ULM)

In addition to the aforementioned safety features, the Optiq features Super Cruise, the luxury marque’s semi-autonomous driver assist feature, as standard.

As a reminder, the US-market 2025 Cadillac Optiq features a standard dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain delivering 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. From a full charge, the Optiq offers an estimated 300-mile driving range. Pricing will start at $54,000, including destination freight charges, and it’s worth noting that its price point means that its buyers can take advantage of the $7,500 Federal EV Tax Credit.

Production of the Optiq will be handled at the Ramos Arizpe Plant in Mexico, where assembly is scheduled to commence in the Fall of 2024.
