Cadillac is once again redefining American luxury with the debut of the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ. This all-electric, three-row SUV is not just a statement of elegance and performance; it’s a game changer in the world of luxury electric vehicles (EVs). As the automotive industry accelerates toward a greener future, Cadillac’s latest offering ensures that customers can have it all: performance, craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and an unrivaled driving experience.
Pushing the Boundaries of Luxury and Innovation
John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac, says it best: “Cadillac continues to set the standard for American luxury. The introduction of VISTIQ will continue to propel us into the EV future.” As Cadillac expands its electric portfolio, the VISTIQ stands out as one of the few vehicles to offer an EV option in every luxury SUV segment. Whether you're navigating city streets or embarking on a cross-country adventure, the VISTIQ delivers on every front.
The Ultimate in Performance and Power
When you think of luxury, you may not always think of speed—but with the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ, you’ll get both in spades. The VISTIQ boasts a standard dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, offering 615 horsepower and a remarkable 650 lb-ft of near-instant torque. From 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds with the Velocity Max option, the VISTIQ proves that luxury doesn’t have to be slow.
The VISTIQ’s smooth ride is thanks to its standard chassis damping control and available Air Ride Adaptive suspension, all working together to deliver a seamless driving experience. The 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack provides an estimated 300 miles of range, meaning you can travel far without sacrificing performance.
Additional performance features like Active Rear Steer improve maneuverability, while available 23-inch wheels elevate both performance and styling. Meanwhile, Road Noise Cancellation ensures a quieter cabin, giving you a serene environment no matter how fast you drive.
Bold Design Meets Modern Luxury
The design of the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ is as striking as its performance. Inspired by modern architectural forms and brutalist aesthetics, its exterior features a sleek swept-back windshield and Cadillac’s signature Black Crystal Shield grille. This design is not just about looks; it’s about functionality too. The VISTIQ offers privacy and elegance with its Mondrian pattern graphic within the third-row windows, creating a sense of motion while enhancing the exterior’s bold appeal.
Inside, the cabin is pure luxury. With three rows of seating, the VISTIQ offers generous space for passengers. The third row, in particular, is designed for comfort, with features like padded armrests, cupholders, USB chargers, and smartphone storage. The materials used inside reflect Cadillac’s commitment to sustainability, with eco-inspired options like carbon fiber trim and fabric made from 100% recycled yarn.
The 33-inch diagonal LED screen, one of the largest in its class, provides an immersive interface for tech-savvy drivers, while the optional 23-inch wheels offer an added sense of style and sophistication. The VISTIQ’s thoughtful interior layout ensures that luxury is accessible from every seat.
State-of-the-Art Technology
The 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ is more than just a luxury ride—it’s a mobile tech hub. Equipped with the standard 23-speaker AKG Studio Audio system featuring Dolby Atmos®, the VISTIQ offers an unparalleled audio experience. Whether you’re cruising through Houston or embarking on a weekend getaway, the sound quality is second to none.
VISTIQ owners will also benefit from the groundbreaking Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) Bidirectional Charging, which allows the vehicle to transfer power back to your home during blackouts. It’s the kind of innovation that keeps your family and lifestyle in mind, no matter the circumstances.
Of course, safety is paramount, and Cadillac has ensured that VISTIQ owners enjoy peace of mind on every drive. The standard suite of safety technologies includes Blind Zone Steering Assist, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Forward Collision Alert, among others. Night Vision, available on higher trims, uses infrared sensors to help drivers detect pedestrians or animals in low-visibility conditions.
A Luxury Experience for Every Personality
Whether you’re looking for a sleek, sporty ride or a more refined, luxurious option, the VISTIQ offers trims to suit every driver. At launch, you’ll find three distinctive trims: Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury, with a Platinum trim launching in 2025. This final trim level will provide additional performance elements and customization options for those who want a VISTIQ that’s as unique as they are.
With a starting MSRP of $78,790, the VISTIQ is positioned as an accessible yet high-end entry in the EV market. Cadillac offers a customizable experience that can match your personal style, whether you're drawn to bold exterior finishes or eco-conscious materials inside.
