The veil was pulled off the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq in late 2023, filling the gap between the Cadillac Lyriq and Cadillac Escalade IQ and answering the need for a three-row electric luxury crossover. As with many other vehicles in Caddy’s lineup, a high-performance variant of the Vistiq could be in the future as part of the luxury marque’s V-Series sub-brand, so Cadillac Society took a shot at rendering what a potential Cadillac Vistiq-V could look like.
As with the other V-Series vehicles, our make-believe Cadillac Vistiq-V features a plethora of dark-themed exterior accents for a more sinister look to set it apart from the “regular” Vistiq. This includes dark trim pieces around the LED “grille” and lighting elements. The lower fascia has been modified for a more aggressive expression, complete with an aggressive lower valance that would look right at home on the front end of a race car.
Taking a look at the profile of our Vistiq-V rendering reveals gloss Black-painted roof rails and dark window surrounds. The lower door cladding is also finished in black, as are the 23-inch multi-spoke wheels. It also features V-Series badging throughout, denoting its status as part of Cadillac’s high-performance line.
As of this writing, it’s not clear what kind of output the real-life Vistiq will have in terms of torque and horsepower, so there’s plenty of room to play with a potential high-performance output version. In the case of our hypothetical Cadillac Vistiq-V, we expect it to have a more generous power output than its “regular” counterparts, potentially making use of a three-motor all-wheel-drive setup that’s capable of throwing a blistering 750 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. Of course, it will need more juice than the regular Vistiq to get going, so a higher-capacity battery pack could also be part of the equation.
