Cadillac unveils its first, all-electric EV, OPTIQ, and it's a smooth operator
We're finally getting Cadillac's first all-electric SUV and it looks incredible. The sleek, tech-savvy 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ joins the heritage luxury brand's growing electric family including models like LYRIQ, VISTIQ and the ESCALADE IQ. With pricing starting at Dhs235,000, the OPTIQ balances bold looks with everyday practicality. Its sculpted fastback profile and signature Black Crystal Shield grille nod to Cadillac's design roots, while new touches like the Mondrian-inspired rear window pattern give it a refreshing edge. Inside the car The car boasts sleek technology inside, with interiors made from eco-conscious materials. The 33-inch diagonal LED display with 9K resolution sweeps across the dash, while recycled Cadillac Collection fabric softens the space. There's plenty of legroom, a spacious boot and a layout that makes even daily commutes feel a bit more luxurious. The tech-powered driving experience really makes your life easier. Google Built-In means seamless access to Maps, Assistant and live range updates, while a 19-speaker AKG sound system with Dolby Atmos takes you elsewhere. Safety's a big focus too, with features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert and Enhanced Automatic Parking all coming with the standard option. Specs that wow Power-wise, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup puts out 300 hp and 451 Nm of torque. It's quick off the line, but also comfortable and balanced, thanks to a lower centre of gravity from the GM EV platform. Drivers can expect up to 492km of range on a full charge, so you really don't have to worry about the range. If you're in a hurry, a DC fast charger can top it up with 163km of range in just 15 minutes. Home charging is equally seamless, with a 7kW wall box included as standard. What else? The OPTIQ also includes three years of OnStar's Connect and Protect plan, plus 10GB of monthly in-car Wi-Fi. So, when are you ordering yours? To learn more, visit your local Cadillac showroom or

NYT Mini Crossword Hints, Clues Answers For Sunday, April 19
In case you missed Saturday's NYT Mini, you can find the answers here: Wondering what Hyundai electric car might have a creatively spelled name? Not sure which hoops legend has size 22 shoes? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with some extra clues and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword. The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword hints, clues and answers for Sunday, April 19: Spoilers lie ahead, so remember to scroll slowly: 1 Across: Chatting with fluency but in a superficial way 5 Across: A circle dance of originated in Romania and Israel 6 Across: Get lost! 8 Across: Like a line in a song, but with the last letter changed 9 Across: The star of the movie Kazaam. Also famously feuded with Kobe Bryant 1 Down: Accra is the capital 2 Down: Not quite a genius 3 Down: The so-called cradle of civilization 4 Down: San Francisco ___ Area 6 Down: Short for geographic information system 7 Down: The sound you might make when you see fireworks 1 Across: Speaking confidently but dishonestly – GLIB 5 Across: Traditional dance at a Jewish wedding – HORA 6 Across: "Scram!" – GO AWAY 8 Across: Hyundai electric car with a creatively spelled name – LYRIQ 9 Across: Hoops legend with size 22 shoes – SHAQ 1 Down: Africa's largest exporter of gold – GHANA 2 Down: Score that's nowhere near Mensa-worthy – LOW IQ FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 3 Down: Baghdad's country – IRAQ 4 Down: Loading area for trucks – BAY 6 Down: Army soldiers, for short – GIS 7 Down: ___ and aah – OOH It took me 1:57 to complete today's NYT Mini. Hmph, that's a pretty slow time for a regular Mini, so I don't love that! I didn't get either of the first two answers from the jump, while I thought 6 Across might have been 'get out.' I don't know a ton about cars, but I do occasionally write about them at my other gig, so I was able to extract LYRIQ from my memory bank after a little thought. SHAQ was a straightforward one too. It was pretty fun that we had four answers that all end in 'q' today, which helped make LOW IQ and IRAQ easy. After BAY, it was a case of filling in the blanks. See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun! Make sure to follow my blog for more coverage of the NYT Mini and other word games, as well as video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot!
