2027 Cadillac VISTIQ

Price Range: $77,500 - $96,600

Very Good

Standout styling, prodigious power and ample range make the 2027 Cadillac Vistiq a smart choice for a three-row luxury EV. We also like how Cadillac equips it with plenty of standard features. The Vistiq has a few flaws, but overall this is a pretty compelling family-friendly electric SUV.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

Updated: 11/8/2026

Cadillac's expanded electric SUV lineup includes the 2027 Vistiq, an almost-full-size three-row model that's smaller than the flagship Escalade IQ but nearly 9 inches longer than the midsize Lyriq. With its oversized illuminated grille and muscular Escalade style, the Vistiq shares a stately presence with its counterparts. It's also powerful, roomy and quiet, and travels more than 300 miles on a full charge. If you're looking for a luxury electric SUV that can seat seven, the Vistiq could be the answer. The 2027 Vistiq is largely unchanged from last year. A digital key feature is now standard, and it lets you use your smartphone to lock, unlock and power up the car. There's also new gloss black trim up front and rear window tint no longer adorned with tech-y graphics.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Edmunds

Very Good

7.3

out of 10

We drove the 2027 Cadillac VISTIQ on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

7.9/10

How does it drive? The Vistiq is a powerful SUV thanks to 615 horsepower. Not surprisingly, this SUV gets up and goes with authority. At our test track, it accelerated from zero to 60 mph in just under 4 seconds. Midrange punch is ample, too, which is great for passing slower cars on the highway. Different levels of regenerative braking are standard, and you can easily one-pedal drive the Vistiq day to day.

We could complain about the numb steering and how it doesn't give you a feel for the road, but somehow it feels appropriate in a large luxury SUV like the Vistiq. More problematic is the ride quality, which can occasionally feel brittle over broken pavement. We expect a luxury SUV to be smoother-riding.

On the upside, the Vistiq comes with lots of standard driving aids. A surround-view camera system and digital rearview mirror are standard, as is Super Cruise, Cadillac's excellent hands-free highway driving assistant. All of this makes the Vistiq easy and effortless to drive — exactly what you want from a luxury SUV.

Comfort

8.4/10

How comfortable is it? The Vistiq is a comfortable and beautifully appointed SUV. The front seats are supportive and feature standard heating, cooling and massage. Both the second- and third-row seats are easy to access thanks to doors that open wide and chairs that are easy to adjust. This is also a boon for installing car seats; you can put them in the second or third rows with ease.

Overall, the cabin is super quiet and spacious, and it feels enormous inside thanks to all the light let in by the standard panoramic sunroof.

If there's a complaint to register, it's that the Vistiq's controls can be distracting to use while driving. Most of them are housed within either the multimedia touchscreen or secondary display below, where you'll find climate functions. The flush-mounted controls on the steering wheel are also problematic. Our drivers would certainly prefer more physical buttons in the Vistiq.

In-cabin tech

6.2/10

How’s the tech? We hope you like Google because that's the only software interface you can use in the Cadillac Vistiq. Navigation is powered by Google Maps and voice commands are controlled by the Google Assistant. Everything else inside the Vistiq's 33-inch curved infotainment display is easy to locate and beautiful to look at. But there's still one big problem.

The Vistiq is one of General Motors' many EVs that does not include Apple CarPlay integration. This could be a deal-breaker for Apple users because you can't easily mirror your phone's apps onto the touchscreen. Still, we appreciate that the Vistiq offers dual wireless charging pads up front and as many as seven USB-C ports located throughout the cabin.

Storage & cargo

7.5/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Vistiq offers less space behind its third row of seats than several competitors, and the high load floor makes it somewhat difficult to load heavy or bulky items. However, folding the third- or second-row seats flat allows the Vistiq to have class-competitive cargo space, and the SUV's boxy, upright shape means it can easily accommodate taller items.

Small-item storage suffers, however. The dual wireless charging pads take up what could be a large storage area, and the door pockets are somewhat small and hard to reach.

Need to tow a small trailer, camper or boat? The Vistiq can tow 5,000 pounds, which is above average for midsize luxury electric SUVs.

Value

8.4/10

Is it a good value? Starting right around $80,000, the Cadillac Vistiq is not a cheap electric SUV. Yet it feels incredibly well equipped for the price. Standard amenities include heated, cooled and massaging front seats; a huge panoramic sunroof; adaptive dampers that smooth out the ride quality; heated second-row seats and more. Plus, you get all of Cadillac's best tech; the Google Built-In suite, 33-inch multimedia display and General Motors' Super Cruise hands-free highway driving assistant are all included. Wrap it in a package that looks and feels like a million bucks, and suddenly $80K doesn't seem so bad.

Range/Efficiency/Charging

5.2/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Vistiq traveled 334 miles on a single charge in the Edmunds EV Range Test, beating its 302-mile EPA estimate. That'll be enough range for the majority of buyers.

On the efficiency front, we observed consumption of 36.6 kWh per 100 miles. Yes, that bests the EPA's estimate of 39 kWh per 100 miles (a lower number is better), but remember that there's a large 102-kWh battery pack underneath the Vistiq. Three-row electric SUVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9 are a bit more efficient. And in the Hyundai's case, you get more real-world driving range too.

The Vistiq charges at a peak of 190 kW, which is a lower speed than some rivals. In Edmunds' testing, it took 17 minutes and 26 seconds to add 100 miles of range, longer than some rivals take. It charged at an average of 344 miles of range per charging hour too.

X factor

7/10

The Cadillac Vistiq has a lot of presence; the adaptive front LED lighting puts on a flashy show. But there's a lot of substance to back up this style. The Vistiq has a premium aura that reminds us more of an Escalade than the outgoing gas-powered XT6 three-row SUV. It packs more of a visual punch than something like a Volvo EX90 and has all the right finishing touches inside. This is luxury done right.

Buying Tips for the 2027 Cadillac VISTIQ for November

Cadillac shoppers have a real opening here: the 2027 VISTIQ is already running about $2,500 below sticker on average, and supply is plentiful with 2,306 new vehicles nationwide.

You can now save about $2,500 off MSRP on a new VISTIQ. There are no general customer rebates right now, so the Edmunds Suggested Price is simply below sticker. The Sport looks like the value play, with nearly 3.8% off MSRP versus roughly 2.2% to 3.0% on the other trims.
Financing is unusually strong for this class, with a promotional rate as low as 0.9% for 48, 60, or 72 months for qualified buyers. That is far below typical market rates and can save you a lot more than chasing one last discount.
New-vehicle demand looks healthy but not frantic. The median days to turn for new VISTIQs is 28 days versus 18 for the overall market, which gives you some shopping time. Sport inventory is deepest, while Premium Luxury and Platinum are much tighter, so expect less flexibility on those trims.
If you plan to lease, expect around $1,167 a month with about $6,167 due at signing on a 36-month, 12,000-mile deal.

2027 Cadillac VISTIQ trim level differences

The 2027 Cadillac Vistiq is a midsize three-row luxury SUV with seating for up to seven passengers. It is available in Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury and Platinum trim levels. All models have a 102-kWh battery pack that feeds two electric motors for all-wheel drive. Combined, they produce a maximum of 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The Visitq offers 305 miles of range on a full charge, according to EPA estimates. Compare the 2027 Cadillac VISTIQ trim levels in-depth.

Which Vistiq trim level does Edmunds recommend?

Since all Vistiq trims share the same powerful motor and range, we recommend sticking with the base Luxury trim. It comes well stocked with tech, comfort and convenience features such as five-zone climate control, heated front and second-row seats, and the Super Cruise hands-free driving system. Sure, the adaptive air suspension and faster charging speeds on the higher trims are nice, but we're not convinced the substantial price increase is worth it.

Alternatives to the 2027 Vistiq

Three-row luxury electric SUVs are still fairly rare, but the competition is heating up. The Volvo EX90 is a close rival, priced nearly the same as the Cadillac. It's safe, stylish and sporty, but it isn't as flashy or powerful as the Vistiq, nor does it offer the Super Cruise hands-free driving system that the Vistiq has. The Lucid Gravity combines absurd power, a spacious interior (including the third row), and a horizon's length of range, although its build quality doesn't live up to the price. Other alternatives include the the adventure-ready Rivian R1S and the all-new three-row Lexus TZ.
