Ownership summary

Verdict:

Cadillac OPTIQ 500 E4 2025 fits the role of an AWD electric SUV with a family-first ownership profile for daily driving, home charging and family use. For ownership planning, the key range numbers are not only 425 km official, but also about 340 km mixed and 260 km in cold highway driving.

In daily use, home charging takes about 3 h 52 min from 0-100%; on trips, the 10-80% DC estimate is about 35 min (est.), which should make highway stops manageable. The practical side is documented with 5 seats, 443-1340 L cargo and 8 years / 160,000 km battery warranty. The official WLTP number is optimistic compared with the BEVDB mixed estimate. Range confidence is high, while specs completeness is mostly complete.

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from WLTP data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

BEVDB model

Combined real range (estimate)340 km
Combined Energy Use (estimate)21.9 kWh/100 km

BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived; falls back to NEDC when WLTP is missing) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
