From CNBC: 2024-11-12 08:32:54

General Motors is set to release the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq, an all-electric three-row SUV dubbed the “baby Escalade.” Priced at $78,790, it will be positioned between the $63,500 Lyriq and the $130,000 Escalade IQ EVs. The Vistiq will feature a 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack, 615 horsepower, 650 pound-feet of torque, and a 300-mile range.

Cadillac’s marketing director, Brad Franz, describes the Vistiq as closer to an Escalade than a larger Lyriq. The SUV will boast interior and exterior styling consistent with Cadillac’s other EVs, including a long dashboard screen, sleek front lights, and an illuminated grille. Production will begin in early 2025 at GM’s Spring Hill Manufacturing plant in Tennessee.

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq will offer three trims – Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury – with a top-end “Platinum” trim available in summer 2025. The vehicle will be sold globally, including in the U.S. and Canada, solidifying Cadillac’s commitment to expanding its electric vehicle portfolio. Production is expected to begin in 2025, with dealer showrooms welcoming the Vistiq that same year.
