Cadillac Vistiq
Cadillac's three-row EV. Ultium. 615 hp dual-motor AWD, ~300 mi range. Replaces XT6 ICE in the lineup.
The Vistiq is Cadillac's three-row electric SUV, launching for the 2025 model year. Built at GM Spring Hill, Tennessee on the same line as the Lyriq. Underlying GM Ultium platform (400V architecture). Single generation. Single dual-motor AWD configuration: 615 hp / 650 lb-ft combined (front + rear motors), 4.5 sec 0-60. 102 kWh battery (same architecture as Lyriq), ~300 mi EPA range. DC fast-charging up to 190 kW. Three-row standard — 6 or 7 seats depending on second-row configuration (captain's chairs option). 33-inch curved 9K LED display carried over from Lyriq. AKG 23-speaker premium audio (4 more speakers than Lyriq), available executive rear-seat package with reclining captain's chairs and 12.3-inch rear-seat displays. Super Cruise hands-free highway standard. Trims: Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury (top — $84k starting). The Vistiq effectively replaces the discontinued XT6 in Cadillac's three-row position, though the XT6 was ICE and Vistiq is EV-only. Air suspension standard on Premium Luxury, including kneel mode for entry/exit. 5,000 lb towing capacity. Reception has been positive — reviewers note the Vistiq combines Lyriq's interior strengths with genuine three-row practicality, though pricing pushes into Mercedes EQS SUV / BMW iX territory.
