Cadillac continues its EV push with the introduction of its new family sized three-row electric SUV, the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq that was previewed earlier this year. The second largest Cadillac EV and the fifth overall electric model for the brand, the Vistiq comes across as a more handsome version of the gas-powered XT6, but there are major design differences if you look closely. Up front, the Vistiq wears a fake grille that’s similar to the Lyriq and Escalade IQ , with illuminated pinstripes running along the side.
Keeping in step with Cadillac’s EV design language, thin LED lights and vertically stacked headlights flank the grille. The Vistiq rides on a 121-inch wheelbase, the same as an Escalade, and its 205-inch overall length is six and a half inches longer than an XT6. It looks pretty tall, too, with standard 21-inch wheels and 22s and 23s optional.
One of the most interesting aspects of the design is the rear sail panel where the designers drew inspiration from a surprising place: the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon . Ahead of that, the window for third-row passengers gets a Mondrian pattern graphic that Cadillac says creates exterior motion while looking out and provides passenger privacy. At the rear, it has a similar vertical tail light setup as the Lyriq.
Inside, the Vistiq has one of Cadillac’s best looking interiors yet. Beyond the massive 33-inch OLED screen that spans across the dash, all the luxury and tech features you’d expect are here, including five-zone clima.
