I’ve already driven two all-electric Cadillacs this year, the Optiq and Escalade IQ, with both on the complete opposite sides of the spectrum in the company’s EV lineup. In between them sits the Cadillac Vistiq, a 3-row seater that takes the Escalade IQ’s utility, but costs way less — but still considerable — starting price of $79,090.

The biggest thing I’ve seen testing the best electric vehicles is that premium cars often sacrifice efficiency for comfort and performance. Yet, the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq Platinum I drove for a week proves otherwise by straddling that line between luxury, utility, and surprising efficiency.
