Cadillac’s expansion of its electric vehicle lineup continues with the arrival of the 2026 Vistiq, a midsize SUV with third-row seats designed to fill the gap between the two-row Lyriq and full-size Escalade IQ.
Revealed in full on Tuesday, the Vistiq is described by Cadillac as a “globally sized” three-row SUV, signifying the vehicle’s importance for Cadillac in markets outside of North America.

It goes into production early next year has been confirmed to start at $77,395 in the U.S., excluding destination. It will initially be available in Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury models, and a Platinum model will join the lineup by the middle of next year.
Even in standard form, the Vistiq will have a lot to offer. The vehicle is based on General Motors’ Ultium battery and technology set, which is found in Cadillac’s other EVs. In the Vistiq, a 102-kwh battery and dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain will be standard. Peak output will be 615 hp, or enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.7 seconds (when using the Velocity Max mode).

Cadillac hasn’t provided a range estimate, but the smaller Lyriq with the same 102-kwh battery and all-wheel drive has en EPA estimate of 307 miles. Cadillac said using a DC fast-charger will enable 79 miles of range to be added in just 10 minutes of charging.
The Vistiq measures 205.6 inches long, or about six inches more than the gas-powered XT6 and almost nine inches longer than the Lyriq. Cargo space is a maximum 80.2 cubic feet and the curb weight is 6,326 pounds. Cadillac said towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.
The exterior design features an evolution of Cadillac’s EV design language first seen on the Lyriq. New for the Vistiq is a pattern on the third window, which Cadillac said gives a sense of motion even when the vehicle is standing still, while also providing extra privacy for those riding in the back.
The interior design is dominated by a 33-inch display integrating digital screens for the gauge cluster and infotainment system, while an additional screen sits at the bottom of the center stack and features controls for the climate settings. Standard technologies will include a 23-speaker AKG audio system with Dolby Atmos, Super Cruise, and bidirectional charging. A night vision system will be available.

Production will be handled at GM’s plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee. The plant is where Cadillac builds the Lyriq, as well as the XT5 and XT6.
