Three rows, all-wheel drive, 615 hp, and a 102 kWh battery: the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ is a full-size luxury EV SUV that occupies a clear and specific place in the Cadillac lineup. It sits above the LYRIQ in terms of size and passenger count, and it brings a technology package that puts it alongside some of the most fully equipped electric SUVs currently on the Canadian market. For buyers who are asking the right questions before making a decision, here is what the VISTIQ delivers.

The VISTIQ is built on a purpose-designed electric architecture with a dual motor AWD system as the only available configuration across all three trims. This is not a vehicle where you choose between front-wheel drive and AWD; every VISTIQ leaves the factory with dual motors and all-wheel drive standard. What changes between the Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury trims is the suspension setup, the onboard charging rate, the seating configuration, and a handful of technology features that matter for daily use.

What Engine Does the 2026 VISTIQ Have?

The VISTIQ uses a dual motor all-wheel drive electric propulsion system. Combined output is 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. In Velocity Max mode, the 0-96 km/h time is 3.7 seconds.

Standard chassis damping control is included on all trims. The Sport trim adds a sport suspension tune. The Premium Luxury steps up further with Air Ride Adaptive suspension and Active Rear Steering, both of which improve comfort over rough surfaces and tighten the turning diameter at low speeds.

• Dual motor AWD: standard on all trims
• 615 hp / 650 lb-ft of torque
• 0-96 km/h in 3.7 seconds (Velocity Max, Cadillac estimate)
• Air Ride Adaptive suspension: Premium Luxury only
• Active Rear Steering: Premium Luxury only

How Far Does the VISTIQ Go on a Charge?

The VISTIQ carries a 102 kWh battery. The GM-estimated range on a full charge is 483 km. This figure applies to the standard dual motor AWD configuration across all three trims.

The battery warranty covers 8 years or 160,000 km.

How Many People Does the VISTIQ Seat?

The VISTIQ seats 7 in Luxury and Sport configurations. The Premium Luxury trim seats 6, reflecting its different second-row setup.

The third row is designed with real comfort in mind: padded armrests, dedicated smartphone storage, cupholders, and USB chargers are all standard in the back row. This is not a token third row with minimal space.

What Technology Does the VISTIQ Include?

The VISTIQ’s technology package is consistent across all three trims at the foundation level:

• 33-inch diagonal high-resolution LED display, standard on all trims
• AKG Studio 23-speaker audio system with Dolby Atmos, standard on all trims
• Super Cruise capability (subscription required), standard on all trims
• Google built-in, standard on all trims
• HD Surround Vision, standard on all trims
• 5G connectivity, wireless phone charging, standard on all trims

Night Vision is available on the Premium Luxury trim only. The 33-inch screen gives access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, navigation, and the vehicle’s drive mode settings.

Super Cruise on the VISTIQ allows hands-free driving on compatible mapped highways across Canada and the United States. The system uses GPS, cameras, radar, and a driver attention monitor. A three-year Super Cruise plan is included with the vehicle.

What Is the Difference Between the Three VISTIQ Trims?

Feature	Luxury	Sport	Premium Luxury
Powertrain	Dual Motor AWD	Dual Motor AWD	Dual Motor AWD
Onboard charger	11.5 kW (19.2 kW avail.)	11.5 kW (19.2 kW avail.)	19.2 kW standard
Suspension	CDC standard	Sport suspension + CDC	Air Ride Adaptive + CDC
Active Rear Steering	Not available	Not available	Standard
Night Vision	Not available	Not available	Standard
Passenger capacity	7	7	6
Roof rails	Bright standard	Not available	Bright standard
Body-colour door handles	Not available	Standard	Not available
Galvano door handles	Standard	Not available	Standard

The Sport trim takes the same mechanical foundation as the Luxury and adjusts the exterior and suspension for a more athletic character. The suspension tune is firmer, and the exterior removes the bright roof rails and side mouldings in favour of darker treatments. The Premium Luxury steps up to Air Ride Adaptive suspension, Active Rear Steering, 19.2 kW onboard charging, Night Vision, and a 6-passenger seating configuration with more individual second-row space.

How Does the VISTIQ Charge?

The VISTIQ is compatible with both Level 2 AC charging and DC fast charging. The onboard charger determines how quickly the battery recovers at home or on a public Level 2 station:

• Luxury and Sport: 11.5 kW onboard (19.2 kW available as an upgrade)
• Premium Luxury: 19.2 kW standard

A GM NACS Level 2 adapter and the GM PowerUp 2 J1772 charger are available as accessories. The Dual Level Charge Cord is standard on all trims for Level 1 or Level 2 home charging. DC fast charging access through public networks is also supported.

How Big Is the VISTIQ?

The VISTIQ is a full-size electric SUV. Key dimensions are as follows:

Dimension	Measurement
Wheelbase	3,099 mm
Overall length	5,222 mm
Overall width (w/o mirrors)	2,026 mm
