2026 Cadillac Vistiq targets 300 miles of range, costs ,790


  • The Cadillac Vistiq will serve as the electric XT6 three-row SUV replacement
  • Cadillac Vistiqs are expected to have about 300 miles of EPA-rated range
  • The Vistiq will cost $78,790 when it arrives in 2025.

Cadillac on Tuesday confirmed additional details of the Vistiq three-row electric SUV, which remains on track for a launch next year as a 2026 model.

Production is scheduled to start in early 2025 at General Motors’ Spring Hill, Tennessee, factory (which also builds the Lyriq), with deliveries later in the year. Pricing starts at $78,790 (with a mandatory $1,395 destination charge) for the initial Platinum grade. Lower-priced Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury grades will arrive later.

Revealed 11 months ago, the Vistiq fits between the two-row Cadillac Lyriq and the plus-sized, three-row Escalade IQ. At 205.5 inches long, 86.7 inches long, and 71.0 inches tall, it’s longer and taller than the Lyriq, but nearly identical in width and shares a 121.8-inch wheelbase.

A standard dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain is rated at 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, which will get the Vistiq from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds with the Velocity Max launch-control mode, according to Cadillac.

Cadillac also estimates around 300 miles of range from the Vistiq’s 102-kwh battery pack, but official EPA ratings won’t be available until closer to launch. The Vistiq comes standard with 21-inch wheels but will be available with 22-inch and 23-inch wheels, which could impact range.

An optional 19.2-kw onboard charger will be able to add up to 46.7 miles of range per hour of charging, Cadillac estimates. Like other new GM EVs, the Vistiq also features bidirectional charging, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) functionality that allows it to serve as a home backup power source with GM-supplied hardware.

DC fast charging can replenish 79 miles of range in a claimed 10 minutes. Cadillac did not specify whether the Vistiq would launch with a Combined Charging Standard (CCS) port, requiring owners to use an adapter to access Tesla Supercharger stations, or whether it would arrive after the point in 2025 when GM previously said it would start building EVs with the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port.

Adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering are available, but the latter won’t offer the Arrival Mode diagonal driving mode (itself a rebranded version of the GMC CrabWalk mode), as in the Escalade IQ. An available road noise cancellation system should help quiet any tire roar, at least.

Inside, the Vistiq has a 33-inch dashboard display similar to the Lyriq, along with an available 23-speaker AKG audio system. A fabric material made from 100% recycled content will also be available on some models.
