Video Summary

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq is a three-row electric crossover SUV with seating for six or seven.

It slots above the Lyriq and below the Escalade IQ in Cadillac's electric SUV lineup.

Styling resembles an updated Cadillac XT6 and offers a traditional two-box SUV look.

Three trim levels will initially be available: Lux 1, Sport, and Lux 2, with a Platinum version coming later.

There is a choice of wheel sizes, with the sport model coming with 21-inch wheels, but 22- or 23-inch are available depending on preference and trim.

It shares the Lyriq's wheelbase and platform but is wider and taller, which leads to more headroom and cargo room for the third row.

Rear quarter windows have a graphic sticker.

It has a 102-kilowatt-hour battery.

DC fast charging can get the battery to about 80% in 45 minutes at 190 kilowatts.

Standard all-wheel drive with two motors produces 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.

It can go from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds with the Velocity Max button.

Available rear-wheel steering can articulate the rear wheels up to three degrees.

The interior looks similar to other Cadillac SUVs and features the same screen as the Lyriq.

It runs a Google operating system but does not offer Apple CarPlay.

Material quality is high with soft-touch materials.

It has touch-sensitive controls for almost everything, though thankfully the vent controls are manual.

A 23-speaker AKG sound system is standard.

Standard Super Cruise is a semi-autonomous hands-free cruise control system that also enables lane changes.

This model has a six-passenger setup with captain's chairs in the back.

A seven-passenger option with a second-row bench is available on lower trim levels.

The second row is adjustable fore and aft.

Third-row legroom is limited, but there is plenty of headroom.

There is no frunk; the space has been incorporated underneath the cargo floor.

A large panoramic moonroof is standard, with a separate glass panel for the third row.

Third-row amenities include padded armrests, cup holders, and USB outlets.

It has five-zone climate control, which automatically turns the climate control on or off based on seat occupancy.

The Vistiq is expected to be on sale in early 2025.
