Cadillac's new three-row electric SUV is almost here. Like the younger Escalade IQ, the Cadillac Vistiq starts under $80,000, but prices for higher trim options can reach upwards of $100,000.
Cadillac Vistiq electric SUV prices and specs
After unveiling the new Vistiq electric SUV last month, we're already learning how much it will cost to make them.
Cadillac said prices for the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq will start at $78,790, including destination charge. That's for the base Luxury trim. Cadillac's new electric SUV will also be available in Sport and Premium trim, while the top-of-the-line Platinum will be launched next summer.
As Car and Driver received on Wednesday, full pricing is now available. The Sport trim will start at $79,290, while prices jump significantly for the Premium and Platinum models at $93,890 and $97,890, respectively.
With options, you can easily spend more than $100,000 on a top repair. Meanwhile, its big brother, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ, starts at $129,990.
The Vistiq sits between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ in Cadillac's growing EV lineup. Like the electric Escalade, the mid-size SUV features a new Cadillac design with a bright pinstripe grille.
Powered by a large 102 kWh battery, Cadillac says the Visitiq gets a range of 300 kilometers. It also packs up to 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds. According to Cadillac, the electric SUV can get a range of 79 miles in about 10 minutes with a DC fast charger.
Inside, the Vistiq offers all the luxury and premium technology you'd expect from a Cadillac. It includes a 33″ curved infotainment and driver display cluster, which sits above an 8″ HVAC control screen.
The standard AWD system is equipped with Road Noise Cancellation technology for the smooth, quiet drive that EVs are known for.
At 205.6″ long, Cadillac’s new electric SUV is slightly longer than the Rivian R1S, which is 201″ long but slightly shorter (71″ vs. 77″ long).
