2026 Cadillac Vistiq isn’t just another electric SUV it’s like they took the best parts of a luxury hotel on wheels and made it go zoom. We’re talking a first look that has everyone buzzing about its plush ride, muscle under the hood, and tech that feels straight out of a sci-fi flick. If you’re in the market for a three-row beast that doesn’t guzzle gas, this one’s got your name on it.
A First Look That Screams Luxury
You’re pulling up to a fancy dinner, and all eyes are on your ride. That the vibe with the Vistiq. Cadillac unveiled it with that signature bold grille glowing like a neon sign, flanked by sleek LED lights that dance when you approach. It’s built on their Ultium platform, so it’s got that modern, boxy shape that’s equal parts tough and elegant think Escalade IQ little brother, but with room for the whole crew.
The exterior? Sleek black accents on the Sport trim or chrome shines on the Luxury one. It measures about 200 inches long, perfect for city streets without feeling like a semi-truck. And those 23-inch wheels? They hug the road while making you feel like royalty. Inside, it’s a whole other world. Leather seats that hug you just right, open-pore wood trims that smell like success, and ambient lighting that shifts colors to match your mood. Three rows mean seven seats, all with heated and ventilated options, so no one fighting over the middle spot on family road trips. Cargo space? A solid 15 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding to over 100 with seats folded. It’s not just a car; it’s a rolling living room.
Powerful Engine That Packs a Punch
Forget the old gas-guzzlers the Vistiq heart is pure electric fire. Dual motors front and rear crank out 615 horsepower and a whopping 650 pound-feet of torque. That enough to launch you from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Yeah, you read that right this three-row hauler feels like a sports car when you hit the “Velocity Max” mode.
It’s all-wheel drive standard, so rain or shine, you’re gripping the road like a pro. Towing fans, rejoice: It hauls up to 5,000 pounds, perfect for boats or trailers without breaking a sweat. The battery’s a beefy 102 kWh pack, built tough for whatever adventure you throw at it. And bi-directional charging? Plug your house into it during a blackout. It’s power on demand, no cords needed. Driving it feels smooth, almost silent, with that instant torque that makes highways disappear.
Smart Technology That Thinks Ahead
Cadillac didn’t skimp on the brains here. The 33-inch diagonal LED touchscreen is like a command center curved, crystal-clear, and running Google Built-In for maps, music, and apps without lag. Voice commands? Just say “Hey, Cadillac” and it adjusts climate, finds coffee, or even parks itself.
Then there’s Super Cruise, the hands-free driving wizard. It handles steering, braking, and lane changes on over 400,000 miles of mapped highways. Trailering mode even takes over when you’re hitched up. Safety’s baked in too: 19 cameras, radar, and lidar watch for everything from blind spots to sleepy drivers. Wireless charging for your phone, AKG Studio audio with 19 speakers it’s tech that works for you, not against you. Oh, and the app lets you preheat the cabin or check range from your couch. Simple, smart, and seriously cool.
Mileage That Goes the Distance
In the EV world, “mileage” means range, and the Vistiq delivers. Cadillac estimates 300 miles per charge on a full tank er, battery. That’s enough for cross-state hauls without hunting for plugs. Fast charging? It sips up to 190 kW DC, adding 78 miles in 10 minutes at a public station. Home? Level 2 setup gets you 25 miles per hour plugged in overnight.
Cold weather might dip it to 250 miles, but that still solid for a luxury rig this size. Compared to gas SUV, you’re saving big on “fuel” costs about $0.04 per mile versus $0.15 for premium unleaded. It’s efficient without feeling skimpy, and that warranty covers the powertrain for eight years or 100,000 miles. Peace of mind included.
Price: Worth Every Penny?
Luxury doesn’t come cheap, but the Vistiq pricing feels fair for what you get. Base Luxury trim starts at $78,790, including all that power and tech. Step up to Sport at $79,290 for edgier looks. Premium Luxury hits $93,290 with massaging seats and fancier audio. Top-dog Platinum? $97,890, pushing past $100K loaded with every bell and whistle.
