Cadillac’s electric revolution continues as the brand has released the first pictures of the 2026 Vistiq. It’s an all-new three-row luxury crossover that will slot between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ. The company isn’t saying much at this point, but the Vistiq is their fifth electric vehicle and was “designed for the modern family.”
Details will be released in the
coming months, but we can see the Vistiq is an Ultium-based crossover that
follows in the footsteps of the Lyriq. The similarities are most noticeable up
front where both models have a black crystal grille that is flanked by vertical
headlights and slender turn signals.
Continuing further back, we can see
flush-mounted door handles and familiar bodywork. That’s where the similarities
end as the Vistiq is longer and adopts a more expansive greenhouse. Out back,
there’s a conservative rear end with split lighting units that aren’t as
radical as those found on the Lyriq. Instead, the lights appear to draw most of
their inspiration from the larger Escalade IQ. While Cadillac is playing coy,
we can see “600 E4” badging on the liftgate. The same moniker is used on the
Lyriq and this suggests the models will share their dual-motor all-wheel drive
system. If that’s the case, we can expect a combined output of 500 hp and 610 Nm of torque.
Additional details are more elusive, but
the Lyriq has a 102 kWh battery pack that provides 494 km of range
with all-wheel drive and 505 km with rear-wheel drive. Of course,
the larger dimensions could be accompanied by a beefier battery. While there
are more questions than answers at this point, it’s becoming increasingly clear
there won’t be a shortage of Cadillac crossovers in the electric era.
