The 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V was recently introduced with a myriad of performance enhancements over the less spectacular non-V model. Now, we’re zeroing in on yet another difference between the go-fast and regular version: the availability of two top-shelf paint finishes for the Optiq-V, one of which is exclusive to the V-series model.
The two exterior colors in question are Magnus Metal Frost and Deep Ocean Tintcoat. Magnus is a matte gray, while Deep Ocean is a deep, rich blue.
Notably, Magnus Metal Frost is available on other Cadillac vehicles – including the CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre and CT4-V Blackwing Petit Pataud special edition sedans – and typically carries a $5,925 price tag. Meanwhile, Deep Ocean Tintcoat is not yet offered on any other vehicle produced by the luxury marque, and carries an extra charge of $1,225 – on par with the cost for other Cadillac tintcoat paint options.
2026 Cadillac Optiq-V pricing in the U.S. is set at $68,795, including the destination charge.
Each paint option is also available with a contrasting Black roof. Meanwhile, the non-V-Series Optiq offers two colors that the Optiq-V does not – Celestial Metallic and Coastal Blue Metallic.
On the inside, the Optiq-V is elevated with V-series seat embroidery and performance steering wheel with a V-mode button. The 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V makes 519 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, and can sprint from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds, per Cadillac’s estimates.
Only 26 units of the 685-horsepower sedan will be built.
