Description
Cadillac's SUV lineup always had a performance problem. Unlike Cadillac's sedans, which ride on more or less bespoke platforms designed for RWD dynamics and driving enjoyment, their SUV lineup (except the Escalade) has long been based on GM's more pedestrian products, which limited what Cadillac could do in terms of performance. The era of electrification has completely changed this dynamic, however. Despite being related to the humble Equinox EV, with an electric car, it's significantly easier to make significant changes to the driving dynamics with new motors and different motor/battery combinations and software. Not only is the Optiq V more fun than the Equinox, but it's also finally, and truly, a Cadillac V product. If you're OK with a plug that is.
