All-New 3-Row 2026 Cadillac Vistiq EV Priced From $78,790
Cadillac will plug a sizable gap in its rapidly expanding EV family with the upcoming 2026 Vistiq, a three-row electric SUV that slots between the nearly 19-foot-long Escalade IQ and the comparatively tidy two-row Lyriq. Now we know where the Vistiq will land in the $70,000 void between the two: Shoppers will be relieved to learn it will favor the Lyriq significantly with a base price of $78,790, about $20,000 higher than the Lyriq’s (all pricing includes $1,395 destination fee).

Powertrain Specs and Range
The critical stats for the 2026 Vistiq are two electric motors for standard all-wheel drive and a total of 615 horsepower and 650 pounds-feet of torque (100 hp and 200 pounds-feet more than the AWD Lyriq). It also gets a 102 kilowatt-hour battery pack, the same size as the Lyriq’s. Cadillac estimates the Vistiq’s range to be 300 miles; official range ratings will be released prior to the start of sales.
The brand also says the new EV will be able to add up to 79 miles of range in 10 minutes on a DC fast charger. That claim only applies to the pricier Premium Luxury and Platinum trim levels, however, which feature a more powerful 19.2-kilowatt onboard charger, versus the 11.5-kW unit standard in the Luxury and Sport trims.
Pricing and Availability
The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq will go on sale in early 2025, with the range-topping Platinum trim arriving in the summer. Full pricing is as follows:
- Luxury: $78,790
- Sport: $79,290
- Premium Luxury: $93,290
- Platinum: $97,890
Safety Features and Trim Levels
GM’s Super Cruise hands-free highway driving tech is standard on every 2026 Vistiq, as are forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, oncoming traffic detection, blind spot steering assist, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, a driver-attention monitor, road-sign recognition and automatic high beams. Buckle to Drive, which prevents the vehicle from being shifted out of Park until the driver’s seat belt is fastened, is also standard, as is Teen Driver, which allows parents to limit or disable certain vehicle functions when a specific key fob is used to start the vehicle.
Priced at nearly $80,000, even the entry-level Vistiq Luxury is generously equipped. Standard equipment includes adaptive dampers, 21-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting with welcome and walkaway animations, a dual-pane panoramic moonroof that covers all three rows of seats and a 360-degree camera system. The front seats feature heat, ventilation and massage, and the second-row outboard seats are also heated. Five-zone automatic climate control is directed via 8-inch touchscreens in the first and second rows, and the ambient lighting can be separately controlled in all three rows. Cadillac’s 33-inch curved digital dash incorporates the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen, the latter featuring Google Built-In; the SUV also comes with a 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system and two wireless phone chargers.
The Vistiq Sport is merely the Luxury trim with black wheels and exterior trim, but the Premium Luxury gains the more powerful onboard charger, 22-inch wheels, an air suspension with adaptive dampers and rear-wheel steering. Inside, the Premium Luxury adds second-row captain’s chairs, exclusive blue quilted synthetic leather, a head-up display with augmented reality navigation and night vision.
Its black roof, unique front and rear bumpers, and body-color exterior trim distinguish the Platinum, as do Brembo brakes with black calipers. The Platinum also features unique upholstery and interior trim combinations.
