About The Pink Cadillac OPTIQ:

  • OPTIQ retains the instantly recognizable pink pearl exterior, while introducing a sleek, modernized chassis with cutting-edge features. As part of Mary Kay’s commitment to sustainability, the vehicle showcases the company’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while continuing to inspire.
  • OPTIQ’s exceptional aerodynamic performance enables its EPA-estimated 302-mile driving range1. The revolutionary GM EV Battery Platform and drive units, along with the use of low rolling resistance tires, also play an important role in the impressive range of the vehicle.
  • A vented rear spoiler, diffusers, and other sculptural elements enhance aerodynamics at the rear of the vehicle without compromising the striking SUV vehicle design.
  • OPTIQ packages interior spaciousness and luxury into a comfortable suite. Illuminated décor and embellishments add to OPTIQ’s unique interior interpretation of Cadillac luxury, while the suite of in-vehicle technology includes features such as the 19-speaker AKG Audio System and Dolby Atmos, creating an intuitive experience.

  • Mary Kay has been named the #1 Direct Selling Brand of Skin Care and Color Cosmetics in the World2 by Euromonitor International for three consecutive years, in 2023, 2024, and again in 2025.
