Cadillac is broadening its electric vehicle offerings with the upcoming 2026 Vistiq, a midsize SUV featuring three rows of seating. Positioned between the Lyriq’s two-row configuration and the Escalade IQ’s full-size presence, the Vistiq neatly fills a crucial gap in Cadillac’s lineup.
Revealed earlier this week, Cadillac markets the Vistiq as a “globally sized” three-row SUV, highlighting its significance in international markets beyond North America. U.S. production is set to begin early next year, with the base model priced at $78,790.
Initially offered in Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury trims, the Vistiq will see a Platinum variant added in mid-2025. Performance is robust, with the SUV utilizing General Motors’ Ultium platform, a 102-kWh battery, and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, delivering 615 horsepower. In Velocity Max mode, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.7 seconds.
While Cadillac has not yet provided an official range estimate, the Lyriq, which shares the same battery and drivetrain, delivers an EPA-estimated 307 miles. The Vistiq boasts rapid DC fast-charging capabilities, able to recover 79 miles of range in just 10 minutes, making it well-suited for long-distance trips.
Measuring 205.6 inches in length, the Vistiq is six inches longer than the XT6 and nearly nine inches longer than the Lyriq. It offers 80.2 cubic feet of cargo space, weighs in at 6,326 pounds, and features a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The exterior adopts a refined design language that first debuted with the Lyriq.
A distinctive pattern on the third window gives the Vistiq a dynamic appearance while enhancing privacy for rear-seat passengers. Inside, a seamless 33-inch display integrates the gauge cluster and infotainment system, with an additional screen for climate controls. Premium features include a 23-speaker AKG audio system and Super Cruise, with an optional night vision system for added convenience and safety.
For added comfort and performance, the Vistiq offers damping control, with adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering available as upgrades. The SUV comes standard with 21-inch wheels, though larger 22- and 23-inch options are available. Production will take place at GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee plant, which also manufactures the Lyriq, XT5, and XT6.
