Sneaking in just before the calendar strikes 2024 is the electric 2026 [Cadillac]() Vistiq SUV. The Vistiq will sit in between the existing [Lyriq]() and the upcoming [Escalade IQ](), all three of which sit above the newly announced, entry-level [Optiq](). However, the Vistiq will likely be closer to the Escalade IQ, in terms of size, as it's said to be a luxury three-row SUV. It also looks rather big and boxy, unlike the sleek and almost wagon-like Lyriq. It wears the corporate electric Cadillac face, though, so from the front it's hard to distinguish it from its sibling. Out back, its taillights split, with larger lamps on the rear fenders and slim L-shaped lights on the rear window, and it looks pretty cool. Overall, it's a handsome design that combines old-school and new-school Cadillac. ![]() **Cadillac** No specs were revealed, so there's currently no word on battery specs, driving range, power figures, performance deets, or price. However, given the "600E4" badge on its tailgate, it's likely that it will offer the same dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain as the Lyriq with 500 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. In the Lyriq, that dual-motor powertrain offers 307 miles of claimed range, though the Vistiq could get less due to its larger size. While the Vistiq is built on GM's Ultium platform and doesn't share any mechanical components with any of its internal combustion cars, it seems like the Vistiq is the electric equivalent of the XT6. ![]() **Cadillac** There's no word on when the Vistiq will go on sale but it will be sold as a 2026 model year, so chances are we won't see it on the streets for a bit. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
