Cadillac Will Raise Its IQ with Vistiq Electric SUV for 2026

• Cadillac is tripling down on adding new electric models to its lineup for 2026.

• Known as the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq, the all-electric SUV will fit between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ.

• Despite slowing EV sales and market concerns from General Motors executives, Cadillac is relying on a luxury electric future.

Cadillac continues its electric crusade by announcing another E-SUV: the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq. It's as if the luxury brand has filled its plate with impending electric vehicles and yet is hungry for more.

Sandwiched between the in-production Cadillac Lyriq and the incoming Cadillac Escalade IQ (and larger than the recently announced Optiq), the Vistiq won't be a full-size SUV, though it will feature third-row seating. Clearly, Cadillac's IQ nomenclature is here to stay.

Cadillac says the Vistiq will primarily sell to young families looking for some extra amenities, similar to the rhetoric surrounding its competitor at Chrysler and the elusive Airflow.

"Vistiq adds another compelling EV to the Cadillac lineup, reinforcing our commitment to an electric future," said John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac. "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."
