GM Announces Cadillac Vistiq Production
Cadillac’s lineup of electric vehicles is expanding with the upcoming 2026 Vistiq.
GM recently announced the new EV crossover will be produced at GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee plant alongside the Lyriq. Vistiq slots into the lineup under the full-size Escalade IQ—the three-row Vistiq will share the BEV3 platform used in most of Cadillac’s electric models.
Officially confirmed during GM’s Q3 2024 earnings call, production for the new SUV is set to begin early next year, with sales due shortly there after. The seven-seater will offer more space and flexibility compared to its smaller siblings but without the hefty price tag of the flagship Escalade IQ.
While pricing hasn’t been formally announced, estimates suggest the Vistiq will start around $63,495 based on Cadillac’s existing price structure.
Vistiq is expected to feature Cadillac’s signature 33-inch curved LED display and come standard with a rear-mounted motor, with an optional dual-motor configuration offering more power and all-wheel drive. With the Lyriq’s strong sales performance—over 20,000 units sold in the first nine months of 2024—Cadillac is betting on the Vistiq to solidify it as a leader in the luxury EV market.
