2026 Cadillac Vistiq Up Close: The Normal Luxury Electric SUV

Cadillac has just revealed all the details of the fourth model in its electric SUV showroom of the future, and we have them for you here: Have a look at the 2026 Vistiq, the three-row all-electric luxury SUV that slots in above the Lyriq two-row mid-size electric SUV and Escalade IQ flagship electric SUV. Built on the same platform as the Lyriq and sharing its wheelbase, the Vistiq is wider and taller, allowing for more passenger room inside and the inclusion of that two-passenger seat in the “way back” space. Powered by GM’s proprietary electric powertrain, it will have dual-motor all-wheel drive, 615 horsepower and will be able to run from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, according to Cadillac. Range? We don’t know that just yet. Apple CarPlay? Nope, not in this one.

Cars.com Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman got a first look at the new ‘26 Vistiq at GM’s studios in suburban Detroit, where he poked around inside and out to see what the latest electric SUV from Caddy is like. What he found was a normal-looking, conventionally styled, nicely crafted three-row electric SUV for people who don’t want a Tesla Model X, don’t like a Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV or don’t really trust the staying power of a Rivian R1S.
