Cadillac has confirmed additional details about the upcoming Vistiq three-row electric SUV, set to launch in 2026. The Vistiq will be produced at General Motors’ Spring Hill, Tennessee factory, with deliveries expected later in the year. The SUV will start at $78,790 for the Platinum grade, with lower-priced options to follow. The Vistiq fits between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ in terms of size, being longer and taller than the Lyriq but similar in width.
The Vistiq will feature a standard dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain with 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to go from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds with the Velocity Max launch-control mode. The SUV is estimated to have around 300 miles of range from a 102-kwh battery pack, and will come standard with 21-inch wheels with options for larger wheels. An optional 19.2-kw onboard charger will enable fast charging, adding up to 46.7 miles of range per hour.
The Vistiq will also feature bidirectional charging, allowing it to serve as a home backup power source. DC fast charging can replenish 79 miles of range in just 10 minutes. The SUV will offer adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering, with a road noise cancellation system available to reduce tire noise. The Vistiq will also not feature the Arrival Mode diagonal driving mode seen in the Escalade IQ.
Inside, the Vistiq will have a 33-inch dashboard display similar to the Lyriq, along with a 23-speaker AKG audio system. Some models will offer a fabric material made from 100% recycled content. It remains to be seen whether the Vistiq will launch with a Combined Charging Standard (CCS) port, or if it will be equipped with the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port later in 2025. Overall, the Vistiq aims to provide a luxurious and high-tech electric SUV option for consumers.
