Cadillac on Tuesday confirmed more details for the Vistiq three-line electric SUV, which is on track for launch next year as a 2026 model.
Production is scheduled to begin in early 2025 at General Motors' Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant (which also builds the Lyriq), with delivery later in the year. The price starting at $78,790 (with a mandatory destination charge of $1,395) in the first Platinum grade. The lower-priced Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury grades will arrive later.
Unveiled 11 months ago, the Vistiq fits between the two-row Cadillac Lyriq and the plus-size, three-row Escalade IQ. At 205.5 inches long, 86.7 inches tall, and 71.0 inches long, it's taller and taller than the Lyriq, but it's nearly identical in width and shares a 121.8-inch wheelbase.

A typical dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain is limited to it's 615hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, which will get the Vistiq from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds with Velocity Max launch control mode, according to Cadillac.
Cadillac is also balanced all around 300 miles away from Vistiq's Battery pack 102-kwhbut official EPA estimates won't be available until closer to launch. The Vistiq comes standard with 21-inch wheels but will be available with 22-inch and 23-inch wheels, which may have a negative impact.
An optional 19.2-kw on-board charger will be able to add up to 46.7 miles of range per charge, Cadillac estimates. Like other new GM EVs, the Vistiq also features dual charging, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) functionality that allows it to serve as a home backup power source with GM-supplied hardware.

DC fast charging can fill up to 79 miles of range in a claimed 10 minutes. Cadillac did not specify whether the Vistiq will launch with the so-called Combined Charging Standard (CCS) port, requiring owners to use an adapter to access Tesla Supercharger stations, or if it will arrive after the point in 2025 when GM previously said it would begin to build EVs. with a Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port.
Adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering are available, but the latter won't offer the Arrival Mode driving mode (itself a rebranded version of the GMC CrabWalk mode), like on the Escalade IQ. The available road noise cancellation system should help quiet any tire roar, at least.
