Cadillac now offers electric SUVs capable of traveling more than 300 miles on a charge, alongside gasoline sedans and SUVs with competitive EPA ratings. Some of those EVs also produce more than 600 hp, because apparently efficiency no longer requires giving up the entertaining numbers. For Fort Myers, FL, drivers browsing our new Cadillac inventory, these are the models worth knowing.
The OPTIQ Starts Small but Goes 317 Miles
The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ is the compact entry point into Cadillac's electric SUV lineup. In single-motor RWD form, it produces 315 hp and 332 lbs. ft. of torque while delivering an EPA-estimated 317 miles of range. Choose available dual-motor AWD and output jumps to 440 hp and 498 lbs. ft. of torque, with an EPA-estimated 303 miles of range. Despite being Cadillac's smaller electric SUV, the OPTIQ seats 5 and offers up to 57 cu. ft. of cargo space. Then there's the OPTIQ-V, which produces a Cadillac-estimated 519 hp and 650 lbs. ft. of torque in Velocity Max. That's a rather large performance number attached to a discussion about efficient compact SUVs.
The LYRIQ Adds Space and Another 9 Miles
The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ is larger than the OPTIQ and stretches its EPA-estimated range to as much as 326 miles with single-motor RWD. That configuration produces 365 hp and 325 lbs. ft. of torque. Available dual-motor AWD increases output to 515 hp and 450 lbs. ft. of torque while retaining up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range. Inside, there's seating for 5 and up to 60.8 cu. ft. of cargo space, making the LYRIQ a useful option for drivers who want more room without jumping to a 3-row SUV. And yes, there's a V-Series version here, too. The LYRIQ-V produces 615 hp and 650 lbs. ft. of torque while providing an EPA-estimated 285 miles of range. Drivers interested in making the switch to electric can compare our Cadillac OPTIQ and LYRIQ inventory to see how their size, range, and performance differ.
The VISTIQ Seats 7 and Still Runs with Sports-Car Numbers
Need 3 rows? Cadillac hasn't forgotten about you. The 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ seats up to 7 and offers as much as 80.2 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the first row. Its dual-motor AWD system produces a Cadillac-estimated 615 hp and 650 lbs. ft. of torque in Velocity Max. Cadillac estimates 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. From a 3-row luxury SUV. The VISTIQ still manages up to 305 miles of EPA-estimated range and can tow up to 5,000 lbs. when properly equipped. For larger households interested in electric driving, that's a combination of passenger capacity, range, and capability that's difficult to ignore.
The CT4 Shows Gasoline Isn't Finished Yet
Not everyone wants an EV, and Cadillac still gives traditional sedan buyers some efficient options. The 2026 Cadillac CT4 comes with a 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 237 hp, while Premium Luxury offers an available 2.7L Turbocharged engine producing 310 hp. Depending on engine and drivetrain configuration, the CT4 can achieve an EPA-estimated 32 mpg highway. The larger CT5 provides another gasoline sedan option for drivers who want additional cabin space, while V-Series models shift the priority rather decisively toward performance. If maximizing gasoline fuel economy is the objective, browsing our Cadillac sedan inventory and comparing regular CT4 and CT5 configurations is the sensible place to begin.
The XT5 Offers 63 Cubic Feet Without Plugging In
The 2026 Cadillac XT5 remains an option for drivers who want the familiar routine of a gasoline luxury SUV. Its 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder produces 235 hp and 258 lbs. ft. of torque. FWD models return an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. An available 3.6L V6 increases output to 310 hp and 271 lbs. ft. of torque for drivers placing greater emphasis on performance. The XT5 seats 5 and offers up to 63 cu. ft. of cargo space, which is more maximum cargo volume than either the OPTIQ or LYRIQ. Sometimes the old-fashioned answer remains a very practical one.
Efficiency Now Comes With Choices and Quite a Lot of Horsepower
The efficient end of Cadillac's lineup no longer looks like a collection of compromises. The OPTIQ offers up to 317 miles of electric range, the LYRIQ reaches 326 miles, and the 3-row VISTIQ manages up to 305 miles. Meanwhile, the CT4 and XT5 keep gasoline in the conversation for drivers who aren't ready to plug in.
