2026 Cadillac Vistiq Revealed As Another Three-Row Electric SUV

There’s another all-new Cadillac EV coming — the sever-seater 2026 Vistiq. It’s going to slot right in between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ, and it joins those models as well as the upcoming ultra-luxury Celestiq sedan and entry-level Optiq crossover in Caddy’s lineup.

A Next-Gen Bolt EV Is On The Way From Chevrolet

Right now, details for the 2026 Vistiq are scarce. It was just unveiled, after all, but looks-wise, it definitely fits in with the rest of the American luxury automaker’s EV fleet. In a lot of ways, it looks like an IQ-ified version of the Cadillac XT6, but it isn’t sharing a platform with the XT6. Cadillac tells us that the Vistiq will be running on GM’s Ultium EV platform that is going to underpin just about every electric vehicle General Motors builds.

If I were a betting man, I’d wager that the interior of the Vistiq will look fairly similar to the rest of the Cadillac lineup, and the tech will be reminiscent as well. Examples could be the AKG audio system found in a bunch of Cadillacs as well as the curved instrument/infotainment display. Unfortunately, we don’t have a look at the inside of the Vistiq yet, so this is just an educated guess.

Another educated guess — this time about drive wheels — will be pulled right from the Lyriq and Escalade IQ that the Vistiq sits between. Odds are, it’s going to have rear- and all-wheel-drive options. Time will tell though.

“Vistiq adds another compelling EV to the Cadillac lineup, reinforcing our commitment to an eclectic future,” John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac, said in a statement.

It doesn’t sound like Cadillac will be slowing down anytime soon, either. The brand looks to have more electric SUVs and crossovers coming down the pipeline over the next few years. It makes sense if Cadillac wants to get back to a place where they can be really relevant in the luxury market.

“Our brand now has an EV entry in most luxury segments, offering customers a range of choices, and Cadillac will cover most luxury SUV segments across critical global markets in the next two years,” Roth said.

Cadillac seems to have found its corporate identity when it comes to building EVs, let’s just see if the company can actually build them because Ultium isn’t making it easy.
