General Motors-owned luxury brand Cadillac has just introduced its next electric vehicle model, the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq electric SUV.
According to the official website, the new model will hit the North American market in early 2025. It will sit between the Cadillac Lyriq and Escalade IQ in the brand’s electric SUV portfolio.
What’s currently known about the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq?
Cadillac’s new Vistiq model is a three-row electric SUV with up to seven seats for passengers. The luxury automaker claims that the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq “is meticulously crafted and powered by innovation.”
As mentioned, it will slot between the Lyriq and the flagship Escalade iQ. It will compete with forthcoming models from other automakers, such as the Volvo EX90.

“VISTIQ adds another compelling EV to the Cadillac lineup, reinforcing our commitment to an electric future. 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.”
