The Cadillac Spring Hill plant in Tennessee is already responsible for the production of two electric vehicles, the Cadillac Lyriq and its close cousin, the Acura ZDX. The luxury marque recently confirmed that the forthcoming Cadillac Vistiq will also be assembled at the Spring Hill facility, becoming the third EV to be produced at the plant.
Of course, Spring Hill does more than EV production. It is also responsible for assembly of two internal combustion vehicles – the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 for North America. The facility, which is owned and operated by Cadillac parent, General Motors, is one of the automaker’s “flexible” plants. In other words, this means the facility has the flexibility to manufacture both EVs and ICE models, allowing production to be adjusted based on current market demand for either propulsion system. For reference, the Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, where the all-electric Cadillac Optiq is built, is also considered a flexible plant.
In addition, the Ultium Cells Spring Hill Plant is now operational, and it provides the Spring Hill assembly plant with battery cells so the battery modules for the Vistiq, Lyriq, and ZDX can be manufactured.
The Cadillac Vistiq, which slots in above the Cadillac Lyriq and below the Escalade IQ, was unveiled late last year. The electric three-row luxury crossover features proportions similar to the XT6, with a profile that’s more upright than that of its smaller brother, the Lyriq. Exterior design highlights include a five-point “grille” inlaid with an intricate LED pattern, along with vertical headlight clusters and horizontal turn signal indicators positioned just below the hood. It also features unique etching on the rearmost glass panels, which Cadillac Society has seen on several examples of the Vistiq out in the wild.
Inside, the Vistiq will get a curved display screen that houses the instrument cluster and infotainment controls, just like the Lyriq. However, as previously reported by Cadillac Society, it doesn’t look like the Vistiq will feature physical buttons to control the HVAC system. Instead, it will feature a secondary HVAC control panel screen mounted below the aforementioned curved display, likely similar to (if not the same as) the Front Command Center (FCC) on the refreshed 2025 Escalade and 2024 Escalade IQ.
At the time of this writing, the luxury marque has not revealed much about the forthcoming Vistiq including pricing, powertrain details, and other specs.
Hint: it's not exactly cheap.
Resulting in a more commanding presence all around.
Sales increased 2.7 percent to 945 units during the first 10 months of 2024.
It seems that it's only a matter of time.
The ambient light color tally is now 126.
