Performance

The Cadillac VISTIQ features a dual motor all-wheel drive system, offering a powerful yet smooth driving experience. The standard chassis damping control and available Air Ride Adaptive suspension combine with GM’s purpose-built electric drivetrain to ensure a comfortable ride. The SUV includes a 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack, providing 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of near-instant torque, allowing an estimated 300 miles of range.

Cadillac has also introduced Active Rear Steer, which enhances driver maneuverability, making VISTIQ feel smaller and more agile. The available 23-inch wheels add performance and a luxurious design touch, with other options including standard 21-inch and available 22-inch wheels.

Design

The Cadillac VISTIQ carries a striking design reminiscent of the ESCALADE IQ, with a swept-back windshield and the Black Crystal Shield grille. The SUV combines modern architectural inspiration with Cadillac’s EV design language, creating a sophisticated and refined appearance. The vertical banding in the interior reflects a Brutalist architectural style, adding elegance and structure throughout.

Technology

The Cadillac VISTIQ is equipped with advanced technology to elevate the luxury experience. The 23-speaker AKG Studio Audio system with Dolby Atmos® delivers an immersive listening environment. The SUV also supports Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) Bidirectional Charging, allowing the vehicle to power a home during outages when paired with the GM Energy V2H Bundle.

Safety is a top priority, and VISTIQ comes with Blind Zone Steering Assist, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Forward Collision Alert as standard, as well as OnStar Automatic Crash Response for added peace of mind. Optional Night Vision technology further enhances safety during nighttime driving by detecting pedestrians and animals ahead.

Trim Levels and Pricing

VISTIQ will be available in three trims—Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury—when it launches in summer 2025. A Platinum trim will follow, featuring additional performance elements and color customization options. The starting price for the Cadillac VISTIQ is $78,790, which includes destination freight charges but excludes tax, title, and dealer fees.
