Cadillac is adding more choice for EV customers with the debut of the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ, a luxury three-row SUV that delivers on the brand’s promise of performance, craftsmanship, and technology.

“Cadillac continues to set the standard for American luxury. The introduction of VISTIQ will continue to propel us into the EV future,” said John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac. “With the addition of VISTIQ, Cadillac will be one of the only brands to offer an EV entry in every luxury SUV segment.”

VISTIQ is engineered to provide spaciousness for passengers in all three rows and offers technology that will elevate the luxury experience, including:

• Standard 23-speaker AKG Studio¹ Audio system with Dolby Atmos®
• Standard Super Cruise, the industry’s first truly hand-free driver assistance technology (with three years of OnStar connected service)²
• 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds with Velocity Max³

VISTIQ will be sold globally, including in the U.S. and Canada, with production starting in early 2025 at General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing plant in Tennessee⁴.

Performance

VISTIQ’s standard dual motor all-wheel drive system delivers a powerful driving experience. Standard chassis damping control and available Air Ride Adaptive suspension, combined with GM’s purpose-built electric drivetrain, contribute to VISTIQ’s smooth ride and handling.

VISTIQ includes a 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack and offers 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of near-instant torque. Cadillac estimates VISTIQ will offer 300 miles of range.⁵

“From the start, it was our team’s goal to deliver a three-row SUV that provides exhilarating performance and intuitive technology, wrapped in the brand’s iconic design language,” said Jeff MacDonald, North American chief engineer, Cadillac VISTIQ. “Bold, yet refined, the VISTIQ provides a comfortable ride while handling like a much smaller vehicle, delivering a sense of isolated precision.”

Additional performance features include:

• Available Active Rear Steer improves driver maneuverability and turning diameter, making the vehicle feel smaller and more agile.
• Available 23-inch wheels provide elevated performance with luxurious styling. Other wheel choices include standard 21-inch wheels and available 22-inch wheels.
• Road Noise Cancellation provides a quieter cabin.

Design

Like its big sibling ESCALADE IQ, VISTIQ has a swept-back windshield and Black Crystal Shield grille unique to Cadillac’s electric portfolio. The spacious interior seamlessly integrates with the elegant design, inspired by modern architectural contours and structure framework. The vertical banding is reflective of robust features in Brutalist architecture and helps frame elements in the interior, creating more refined lines and offering a balance of sophistication and practicality for modern luxury living.  

“VISTIQ continues the Cadillac EV identity, including our signature vertical lamps front and rear, the illuminated pinstripe grille, a 33-inch diagonal high-resolution LED screen, and available 23-inch wheels, rendered in a proportionally stately and functional three-row SUV,” said Bryan Nesbitt, executive director, Global Cadillac Design. “VISTIQ helps fulfill our showroom vision to offer the most artful integration of innovation with zero-emission propulsion.”

VISTIQ features a commanding exterior design:

• Eye-catching brightwork and a suite of wheel choices to pair with the exterior design.
• Cadillac Mondrian pattern graphic within the third-row windows creates exterior motion while providing privacy for passengers.
• Signature D-pillar sail panel design, featuring modern sail tapers with thinner pillars at the bottom that widen toward the rail, forming a distinguished tornado-like shape that honors Cadillac’s sporty heritage.
• Unique Black Crystal Shield patterns for Luxury and Sport trims, each incorporating touches that embrace their respective identities.

Featuring three rows of stately architecture, VISTIQ’s interior offers luxury, comfort, and seamlessly integrated technology:

• A comfort-conscious third row, with conveniences and style generally reserved for first- and second-row seats, including padded armrests, smartphone storage, cupholders, and USB chargers⁶
• Ample storage, including pass-through, underfloor and reconfigurable interior seating to provide expanded storage capacity
• Eco-inspired and authentic materials throughout the interior, including:
  • Carbon fiber deco trim on Noir interior
  • Lumen open pore wood on Luxury and Premium Luxury trims
  • Black Ash Cluster wood decors on Platinum trim
  • Available patterned accent fabric woven from yarn made from 100% recycled materials on Premium Luxury trim
• Intelligent five-zone climate controls
• Jewel-like speaker grilles with a geometric pattern only found on VISTIQ

Technology

VISTIQ provides owners and passengers with a personalized luxury experience within the confines of the cabin.

VISTIQ includes a 23-speaker AKG⁷ Studio Audio system with Dolby Atmos®, providing custom-tuned speakers and amplifier content for an undistorted, nuanced listening experience. Dolby Atmos is a sound format that renders individual sound sources through separate channels to create an immersive 3D experience.

VISTIQ comes equipped with Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) Bidirectional Charging capabilities, which when paired with the available GM Energy V2H Bundle, allows for the transfer of electric power from the vehicle and a properly equipped home during a blackout.

Offering features that prioritize safety and security while on the road, VISTIQ offers peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike:

• Standard premium safety and driver assistance technologies include Blind Zone Steering Assist⁸, Side Bicyclist Alert⁹, and Forward Collision Alert¹⁰.
• Standard OnStar Automatic Crash Response¹¹
• Available Night Vision¹², enabled by an infrared sensor for driving at night, allowing the driver to see pedestrians or animals directly ahead.

At launch, VISTIQ will offer three distinctive trims, Luxury, Sport and Premium Luxury. Coming in summer 2025, VISTIQ will launch in Platinum trim, with added performance elements and more interior and exterior color options, allowing the customer to choose a vehicle that matches their own personality and preferences.

MSRP¹³ starts at $78,790, including destination freight charge, and excluding tax, title, and dealer fees. Dealer sets final price.
