2027 Cadillac Vistiq Goes Native NACS, Loses Its Strakes

Cadillac's smaller three-row EV SUV takes on a native NACS charge port for 2027, the most consequential of several design and feature revisions to the Vistiq. The switch brings a catalog of newly offered charging adapter accessories to support the port.

The exterior changes are the easiest to spot. The Vistiq drops the 900 badge that signaled its 900 Nm torque output from the tailgate, leaving only the E4 badge that denotes all-wheel drive. The strakes that once set apart the rear quarter window have been deleted, and the front grille trades its dark chrome finish for gloss black. Dark chrome mirror caps move to the accessory list rather than remaining standard. Power-close doors are gone too.

The color palette turns over as well. Cashmere, Blue Graphite Tricoat, and matte-finish Adobe Frost join the roster, while Nimbus Metallic and Celestial Metallic are discontinued. Inside, Premium Luxury models replace the Phantom Blue option with black upholstery finished in white stitching and piping.


On the technology side, the Vistiq adds the Cadillac Digital Key mobile app along with charge station communication improvements. Both arrive through an over-the-air software update rather than requiring a hardware change at purchase. A new trailering package rounds out the updates as a dealer-installed accessory, complementing the charging adapters now available to owners making the move to the NACS port.
