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.” Cadillac’s John Roth added the crossover is “another compelling EV” that reinforces their commitment to an electric future.
The VP of Global Cadillac went on to say, “Our brand now has an EV entry in most luxury segments, offering customers a range of choices, and Cadillac EVs will cover most luxury SUV segments across critical global markets in the next two years.”

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.
The Cadillac Escalade IQ and Lyriq
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 (373 kW / 507 PS) and 450 lb-ft (610 Nm) of torque.
Additional details are more elusive, but the Lyriq has a 102 kWh battery pack that provides 307 miles (494 km) of range with all-wheel drive and 314 miles (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.
