GM’s latest electric car is a Cadillac “baby Escalade” called the Vistiq | Real Time Headlines

Detroit- General MotorsThe latest all-electric vehicle is a three-row SUV in Cadillac’s luxury lineup, which the brand calls the “baby Escalade.”

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq will be the last in a new line of electric vehicles in the brand’s portfolio, entering production and arriving in dealer showrooms in 2025.

Pricing for this SUV starts at $78,790. It will be roughly between $63,500 and upcoming Escalade IQ electric car worth $130,000.

Cadillac marketing chief Brad Franz said the new car is closer to a “baby Escalade” than a larger version of the brand’s first electric car, the Lyriq, due in 2022.

“It’s a great platform, it’s closer to Escalade than it is to Lyriq,” he said at a media event.

The Vistiq’s interior and exterior styling is consistent with Cadillac’s current and upcoming electric vehicles, including the Lyriq and Escalade IQ. The interior features a long screen on the dashboard, while the exterior includes stylish vertical and horizontal headlights and illuminated grille.

The car is equipped with a 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack that delivers 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. Cadillac estimates the vehicle’s range on a full charge to be 300 miles.

The Vistiq will be sold globally, including in the United States and Canada, with production starting in early 2025 at GM’s Spring Hill manufacturing plant in Tennessee. The Vistiq will be available in three trims when it goes on sale: Luxury, Sport and Premium Luxury. The high-end “Platinum” trim will be available from summer 2025.
