Cadillac has unveiled its flagship family-focused electric SUV, the VISTIQ, for the Australian and New Zealand markets.
Sitting above the more compact OPTIQ and the mid-sized LYRIQ, the VISTIQ introduces a premium three-row option to the brand’s growing EV lineup.
Priced from $116,000 AUD, the VISTIQ is positioned to compete with high-end electric haulers like the Kia EV9 GT, Volvo EX90, and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.
The model was revealed in Melbourne as part of Cadillac’s inaugural Formula 1 Grand Prix race activations.

The VISTIQ Platinum trim features a "Black Crystal" grille and a unique front lower fascia with body-colour wheel surrounds.
It sits on 22-inch "Reverse Rim" wheels with a Satin Graphite finish, featuring 295/40R22 self-sealing tyres.
Measuring 5,233mm in length with a 3,094mm wheelbase, making it slightly larger than the recently released Denza B8.
Exterior styling is rounded out by a black roof, a panoramic dual-pane sunroof, and 3rd-row fixed glass roof panels with sunshades.
In true Cadillac style, the front and rear lighting features a choreographed welcome and farewell dance.

The VISTIQ utilises a high-output dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering 459kW of power and 880Nm of torque.
This powertrain enables a 0 to 100km/h sprint in a claimed 4.2 seconds when using the VISTIQ-specific "Velocity Max" mode.
A 91kWh lithium-ion battery provides an estimated range of 461km (WLTP), with a combined energy consumption of 22kWh/100km.
DC fast charging allows for up to 104km of range to be added in approximately 10 minutes, though the manufacturer doesn't specify peak DC fast charging speed.

The chassis setup includes Air Ride Adaptive Suspension with Chassis Damping Control.
The VISTIQ also features active rear steering to reduce the turning diameter in tight spaces.
Brembo performance front brakes are standard, as are selectable drive modes; including Tour, Snow/Ice, Sport, and MyMode.
One-Pedal Driving and "Regen on Demand" are standard features across the VISTIQ range.
