Don't Buy The Wrong Cadillac Vistiq

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq weighs 6,326 lbs. That's heavier than a Ford F-150. If you buy the base model, you are asking steel springs to fight physics. But if you upgrade to the Premium Luxury trim, you get the Air Ride and Rear Steer that make this SUV a godsend. In this deep dive review, we test the Vistiq’s Velocity Max mode, expose a dangerous flaw in the one pedal driving software on snow, and explains why the column shifter is an insult to the $93,000 price tag. Is the Vistiq better than the Escalade IQ? Let's find out.
