Another potential model to join the Cadillac Lyriq when the brand makes its much-anticipated launch in Australia has been revealed in the US overnight, the Cadillac Vistiq.
A three-row SUV slotting in between the mid-sizeLyriq and the properly large Escalade IQ, the Cadillac Vistiq is an electric car (thus the brand's 'iq' identifier at the end of its name) set for a global launch by 2025, with more details like specifications and pricing to come in 2024.
The brand has only released two images of the Vistiq so far, with no interior teasers, but this means a badge on the rear is visible and points to its potential drivetrain.

This set up in the Lyriq has a claimed 494km of range thanks to a 100.4kWh battery, though the larger Vistiq could come with different specifications - especially if it's on a different version of the BEV3 EV skateboard architecture.

"Our brand now has an EV entry in most luxury segments, offering customers a range of choices, and Cadillac EVs will cover most luxury SUV segments across critical global markets in the next two years."
"Thousands of customers are going to get a...
