2027 Cadillac Vistiq: 615 hp, 491 km EPA, Seven Seats, From $77,500

The Cadillac Vistiq is the brand's mid-size three-row electric SUV, positioned above the Lyriq and below the Escalade IQ. For the 2027 model year it carries a single powertrain across the range: two electric motors, all-wheel drive, a 102 kWh battery and 615 hp (about 459 kW, 624 PS), a figure Cadillac estimates for its Velocity Max mode. Cadillac lists the EPA-estimated range at 305 miles (491 km), the 0-60 mph time at 3.7 seconds and the tow rating at 5,000 lb. The US price starts at $77,500 for the Luxury trim before a $1,995 destination charge, and the line runs to $96,600 for the Platinum. The car is built at General Motors' Spring Hill plant in Tennessee and is also on sale in Europe, the Gulf and, through the importer UMI, in Israel at NIS 679,990 for a six-seat Premium Luxury.

Performance & Specs

Every 2027 Vistiq has the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive layout, so trim level changes equipment, not output. Cadillac quotes 615 hp and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque, both "Cadillac estimated in Velocity Max", and a 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds on the same basis. Velocity Max is a performance setting; the Israeli importer UMI says it is switched on with a VMAX button on the steering wheel, alongside Tour, Sport and Snow drive modes. UMI's own Israeli figure for acceleration is 3.7 seconds to 100 km/h, a slightly different benchmark from Cadillac's 0-60 mph, so the two should not be treated as identical claims. Cadillac does not publish a top speed.

The Vistiq tows up to 5,000 lb (2,268 kg), according to the 2027 specification page on cadillac.com, which does not break the figure out by trim; UMI's Israeli page quotes a similar 2.2 tonnes. Higher trims add chassis hardware: the Premium Luxury has Air Ride Adaptive Suspension with Continuous Damping Control and Active Rear Steering, and the Platinum adds Brembo front brakes. UMI's spec sheet lists 22-inch aluminium wheels with 295/40R22 tyres for the Israeli car and a turning radius of 5.8 metres.

Dimensions & Practicality

Length	5,222 mm (205.6 in)
Width	2,203 mm with mirrors (86.7 in)
Height	1,804 mm (71.0 in)
Wheelbase	3,094 mm (Cadillac rounds to 122 in)

At 5,222 mm long and 3,094 mm between the axles, the Vistiq is a full three-row vehicle rather than a five-seater with occasional seats. Cadillac lists seating for up to seven passengers, using a second-row bench on the Luxury and Sport, while the Premium Luxury and Platinum swap it for captain's chairs and seat six. Legroom is 43.1 inches (1,096 mm) in the front row, 40.2 inches (1,020 mm) in the second row and 30.6 inches (778 mm) in the third, so the last row suits children and shorter adults better than tall passengers on a long trip.

Cargo space is 15.2 cubic feet (about 430 litres) behind the third row, 43 cubic feet (1,218 litres) behind the second row and 80.2 cubic feet (2,271 litres) behind the first row, matching UMI's 431, 1,218 and 2,271 litre figures. The Israeli importer lists an unladen weight of about 2,869 kg and ground clearance of 184 mm. The dual-pane SkyGlass roof, with a power sunshade and a fixed glass panel over the third row, is standard on every US trim.

Charging & Battery

Cadillac gives the battery as 102 kWh "Battery Rated Energy" and does not publish separate gross and net figures on its US pages. European launch coverage also gives 102 kWh, and auto motor und sport calls it usable capacity, while UMI's spec sheet and the Israeli site Carzone list 107 kWh for the Israeli car. None of these sources explains the gap, so this article uses Cadillac's 102 kWh as the headline number and treats the Israeli listing as unexplained until Cadillac or UMI clarifies it. Range is 305 miles (491 km) on the EPA cycle for trims with the standard 11.5 kW onboard charging module and 300 miles (483 km) with the optional 19.2 kW module that comes on the Premium Luxury and Platinum.

For DC charging the 2027 car has a native NACS (J3400) port, so it plugs into Tesla Superchargers without an adapter, and GM-approved adapters cover other connectors. The maximum DC rate is 190 kW, and Cadillac says that adds up to 80 miles (129 km) in about 10 minutes. Cadillac does not publish a 10-80% time. On AC, the 11.5 kW module adds up to 29 miles (47 km) of range per hour and the 19.2 kW module up to 47 miles (76 km). A 20-foot, 7.7 kW dual-level cord comes in the box. UMI lists a 22 kW AC maximum for the Israeli specification, which is a single-source figure.

BATTERY	102 kWh rated energy (Cadillac); UMI Israel lists 107 kWh
AC CHARGING	11.5 kW standard; 19.2 kW available (standard on Premium Luxury and Platinum)
DC FAST CHARGING	190 kW maximum, NACS port
DC CHARGING EXAMPLE	Up to 80 miles (129 km) in about 10 minutes (Cadillac); 10-80% time not published

Design & Interior

The Vistiq has the upright, squared-off stance of a conventional large SUV rather than a coupe-like EV. The front carries a blanked-off grille with a fine etched pattern and tall vertical light blades, and Cadillac's choreographed exterior lighting greets the owner on approach. Wheels range from 21 inches on the Luxury to 22 inches on the Premium Luxury and Platinum and up to 23 inches as an option. The Sport adds a unique grille, gloss black roof rails, moldings and window surrounds, while the Platinum adds a black roof, body-colour wheel surrounds and its own lower fascia. For 2027, Cadillac added the Cashmere, Adobe Frost and Blue Graphite Tricoat paints and a black interior with white stitching and piping on the Premium Luxury, and changed the grille header trim from Obsidian to Gloss Black.

Inside, the front seats are heated, ventilated and massaging on every US trim, and the second-row outboard seats are heated. The Premium Luxury adds exclusive quilted Nouveauluxe seats, open-pore wood trim, a sueded microfibre headliner and ambient backlit door accents, and the Platinum offers a Kona Brown interior. UMI's Israeli specification highlights 126 ambient lighting colours, a dual wireless phone charger and seven USB-C ports. The Israeli car is the six-seat Premium Luxury, with a second-row passenger control screen and rear climate controls.

Technology & Features

The centrepiece is the curved 33-inch Horizon Display with Google built-in, which replaces separate instrument and infotainment screens. A 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system is standard, with Dolby Atmos available. Super Cruise, Cadillac's hands-free driver assistance for compatible roads, is standard in the United States with a 3-year OnStar One plan, and the Premium Luxury adds an augmented-reality head-up display and Night Vision. The 2027 model adds a Digital Key feature, according to GM Authority, and the connected app handles charging search, including Tesla Supercharger access.

Safety & ADAS

Cadillac lists HD Surround Vision on every trim along with Super Cruise on US cars, while the Israeli specification sheet adds eight airbags, blind-zone detection and steering assist, reverse automatic braking, driver-attention warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and intersection emergency braking. We did not find a published Euro NCAP, NHTSA or IIHS crash-test rating for the Vistiq, so none is stated here. Cadillac's Super Cruise is a driver-supervised system and the driver must stay attentive.

ADAS LEVEL	Driver-supervised, hands-free on compatible roads (Super Cruise, US)
ADAS FEATURES	Super Cruise, HD Surround Vision, Night Vision and AR head-up display (Premium Luxury and Platinum), blind-zone steering assist, 8 airbags (UMI specification)

Pricing & Availability

In the United States Cadillac lists the 2027 Vistiq at $77,500 for the Luxury, $78,000 for the Sport, $92,000 for the Premium Luxury and $96,600 for the Platinum, all before a $1,995 destination charge, which GM Authority reports brings the Luxury to $79,495. That is $105 more than the 2026 model year across the range. Cadillac also advertises a 24-month lease on the Luxury at $889 a month with $7,369 due at signing, an offer subject to dealer participation. Europe has had the car since 2025: German launch prices were EUR 99,640 for the Luxury and EUR 110,503 for the Premium Luxury, with a European WLTP range of 460 km, and the car is also sold in France, Sweden and Switzerland. In the UAE the starting price is AED 335,000, reported by GM Authority and by Cars24, which says it excludes VAT.

In Israel the importer is Universal Motors Israel (UMI), which has sold the Vistiq since November 2025. Its current price list shows a single version, the AWD Premium Luxury with six seats, at NIS 679,990 including VAT plus a NIS 5,499 registration fee, NIS 685,489 in total, checked on 6 October 2026. UMI labels the car a 2026 model and quotes 490 km of range and 244 Wh/km consumption; the range matches the 305-mile EPA figure converted to kilometres, and UMI's technical sheet and web text describe it as an American-standard (EPA) figure, although a footnote on the same web page cites WLTP, while Cadillac's European WLTP figure is 460 km. For reference, the US Premium Luxury costs $92,000 before destination, but the Israeli price includes VAT and the importer's costs, so the two are not directly comparable and buyers should ask UMI which specification and incentives apply. Carzone's launch report lists a 3-year or 100,000 km warranty and an 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty.

How It Compares

The Lexus TZ is a three-row electric SUV with a similar price, and Lexus lists its Premium Touring at $72,050 with 308 hp and a manufacturer-estimated 315 miles (507 km), against the Vistiq's 615 hp and 305 miles (491 km). The Lexus has the longer range and the lower price, but the Cadillac has twice the power for $5,450 more, and in the Luxury trim it carries seven seats against the Lexus's six. Lexus lists the Premium Touring as arriving in early 2027, so it is not yet on sale. The top TZ Luxury trim starts at $80,550 with a manufacturer-estimated 279 miles, and a dealer-installed Performance Upgrade lifts it to 402 hp; Lexus does not state the upgrade's price on its model page. Within Cadillac's own range, the larger Escalade IQ Luxury starts at $127,405 on cadillac.com, which lists only the 2026 model year of that car, with 750 hp in Velocity Max (680 hp in normal mode) and a Cadillac-estimated 465 miles (748 km), more than $49,000 above the Vistiq for a much larger body. The prices are as listed on the manufacturers' US sites and the Lexus page does not say whether its price includes delivery, so differences of a few thousand dollars should not be read as exact.
