Tested: 2026 Cadillac Optiq RWD Goes Solo

“Efficient” probably isn’t the first descriptor that comes to mind when you think of Cadillac. The brand cemented its image in the public consciousness with rolling totems of excess, whether they featured giant tail fins, acres of sheetmetal, or imposing presence—possibly all three at once.
