2026 Cadillac Vistiq Is the Brand's Latest UnIQuely Named EV SUV

• The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq is the latest electric model to join the brand's rapidly expanding lineup.

• Cadillac says the three-row Vistiq SUV slots between the Lyriq and the Escalade IQ, which suggests a size similar to the gas-fed XT6.

• The first images of the Vistiq reveal a "600E4" badge, alluding to an all-wheel-drive powertrain with at least 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.

Cadillac's electric models skip generic alphanumeric names in favor of unique monikers that feature an "iq" suffix. So far, the Lyriq is the only one that's entered production, but GM's luxury brand is getting closer to rapidly expanding. Along with the purposely low-volume, hand-built Celestiq flagship, the company has revealed forthcoming EV SUVs such as the full-size Escalade IQ and the subcompact Optiq. Now the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq joins that list.

First Peek at the Vistiq

The Vistiq—which we can't help but think sounds like a prescription for itchy eyes—is easy on our peepers, as it's a handsomely styled three-row SUV. Cadillac says it will slot between the mid-size Lyriq and the larger Escalade IQ. We don't currently know any of the Vistiq's dimensions, but judging by that piece of information as well as what we can see in the photos, it likely will be similar in size to the gas-powered three-row mid-size XT6 SUV.
