Cadillac recently unveiled the Vistiq 2026, a new addition to its expanding lineup of electric vehicles. Positioned as a luxurious three-row crossover between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ, the Vistiq is designed to appeal to active families, offering a blend of technology, opulence, and impressive interior space.
Striking Exterior Design
In terms of size, the 2026 Vistiq measures 5,222 mm in length, 2,203 mm in width, and 1,804 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,094 mm. This makes it 180 mm longer and 231 mm wider than the XT6.
The front of the vehicle features a distinctive split headlight design and a large, dark crystal-patterned grille. The rear grille features unique patterns that differentiate the various models, with linear patterns on the Luxury variants and a mesh design on the Sport versions.
According to Zhou Fang, Cadillac’s designer, the Vistiq’s 2026 side profile was partly inspired by the CTS Sport Wagon. It also boasts a muscular body, sleek door handles, and sharply designed rear pillars.
This crossover comes standard with 21-inch wheels, and buyers can opt for larger 22-inch or 23-inch wheels. In total, the Cadillac Vistiq is offered in eight exterior colors, including Polar White, Argent Silver, Opulent Blue, and Radiant Red.
Spacious and Luxurious Interior
Given its substantial size, it’s no surprise that the 2026 Vistiq boasts an extremely spacious interior. It’s also packed with modern technology, including a 33-inch dashboard screen that integrates most of the vehicle’s control functions.
This luxurious crossover features front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, a five-zone climate control system, and a 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system. It also comes equipped with ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof.
Cadillac highlights the use of environmentally friendly materials throughout the interior, including a steering wheel wrapped in a fabric made from 100% recycled materials.
The Vistiq offers a generous cargo capacity, with a standard luggage space of 430 liters, expanding to 1,218 liters when the third-row seats are folded down, and a massive 2,271 liters when both rear rows are collapsed.
Powerful 615-Horsepower Engine and 483-Kilometer Range
The Vistiq 2026 is equipped with an electric motor that delivers 615 horsepower and 880 Nm of torque, paired with an all-wheel-drive system. With this setup, the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.7 seconds when Velocity Max mode is activated.
It features a multi-link front suspension and a five-link rear suspension with semi-active dampers. The Premium Luxury variants add the Air Ride Adaptive suspension system, which can adjust the ride height by up to 76 mm and includes an automatic aerodynamic mode to reduce drag on the highway.
The vehicle is fitted with a 102 kWh battery pack, providing an estimated range of 483 kilometers on a full charge. With fast charging, it can gain an additional 127 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes. However, its range falls short of competitors like the Lucid Gravity and Mercedes EQS SUV. Interestingly, the Vistiq features a CCS charging port instead of the NACS standard that GM had announced for its 2023 models.
The Vistiq also offers bi-directional charging, allowing owners to power external devices from the vehicle. Cadillac didn’t elaborate, but it mentioned the GM Energy V2H Bundle, which enables owners to supply power from their vehicles to their homes during power outages.
Another notable feature is the active rear-wheel steering, which contributes to the crossover’s tight turning circle of just 11.6 meters.
The Cadillac Vistiq comes standard with Super Cruise, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Alert, Side-Impact Prevention with Bicycle Detection, and a Night Vision system that uses infrared cameras to detect pedestrians or animals hidden in the darkness.
The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq is offered in three trim levels: Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury, with a starting price of $78,790 USD (approximately 2 billion VND) including shipping.
