2026 Cadillac VISTIQ Specs: Dimensions, Weight, Towing and More

Shoppers searching for VISTIQ specifications usually want the same handful of numbers. Here they are in one place, with the EX90 alongside where it helps. The VISTIQ is all-new for 2026, so there are no earlier model-year dimensions to compare.

VISTIQ Dimensions: Length, Width, Height and Wheelbase

How big is the Cadillac VISTIQ? It is a midsize three-row SUV, about 17.1 feet long.

Cadillac’s own page lists the length as 205.5 in. (17.1 ft) and the width with mirrors as 86.7 in., while its spec sheet shows 205.59 in. Metric figures are converted from the inch values and rounded.

Active Rear Steer, available on higher trims, can swivel the rear wheels up to 3.5 degrees. GM lists a turning diameter of about 38.2 to 38.4 feet with Active Rear Steer on 21-inch or 23-inch wheels.

VISTIQ Weight, Curb Weight and GVWR

• Curb weight: about 6,226 lb for the Sport trim Car and Driver tested, and about 6,326 lb listed by Kelley Blue Book. Curb weight varies by trim and options.
• GVWR: 7,540 lb, according to Kelley Blue Book.

For comparison, the EX90 lists a curb weight of 5,545 lb (Single Motor) to 5,930 lb (Twin Motor). So if you are asking how much a Cadillac VISTIQ weighs, expect roughly 3 tons. Most of that is the 102 kWh battery.

VISTIQ Battery Size, Range and Mileage

• Battery size: 102 kWh (battery rated energy).
• EPA range: up to 305 miles with the standard 11.5 kW onboard charger (about 491 km, per Cadillac’s Canadian estimate), or 300 miles with the available 19.2 kW module.
• Efficiency: the EPA rates the VISTIQ at 93 MPGe city, 78 highway and 86 combined.
• Range test: Edmunds drove a VISTIQ 334 miles on one charge in its EV range test.

VISTIQ 0-60 Time, Horsepower and Top Speed

• 0-60 mph: 3.7 seconds, Cadillac-estimated in Velocity Max mode.
• Tested: Car and Driver ran a VISTIQ Sport from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 114 mph.
• Power: 615 hp and 650 lb-ft (Cadillac-estimated, Velocity Max). Car and Driver lists 649 lb-ft.
• Top speed: governed at 132 mph, according to Car and Driver.

That 0-60 time is faster than any EX90 other than the 670-hp Performance, which is quoted at 4.0 seconds.

VISTIQ Towing Capacity

The 2026 VISTIQ’s maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds. The frame-mounted hitch is a $1,170 option, and on Luxury and Sport trims it requires the $800 six-passenger seating package. The AWD EX90 tows up to 4,850 pounds.

VISTIQ Third Row, Legroom and Seating Capacity

The VISTIQ seats up to seven with a three-seat second-row bench, or six with optional captain’s chairs (standard on Premium Luxury and Platinum).

Is the VISTIQ third row big enough for adults? Car and Driver found the third row acceptable for short outings and said legroom improves over the outgoing XT6. At 30.6 inches, third-row legroom is tighter than the ESCALADE IQ’s 32.3 inches or the ESCALADE IQL’s 36.7 inches.

VISTIQ Cargo Space and Trunk Space

• Behind the first row: 80.2 cubic feet
• Behind the second row: 43 cubic feet
• Behind the third row: 15.2 cubic feet (EX90: 11.4)

VISTIQ Size Comparison: ESCALADE IQ and XT6

VISTIQ vs. ESCALADE IQ: the ESCALADE IQ is 224.3 in. long on a 136.2-inch wheelbase, so the VISTIQ is about 18.7 inches shorter and about 2.6 inches narrower, per Car and Driver. Cargo behind the third row is 23.6 cubic feet in the IQ versus 15.2 in the VISTIQ.

VISTIQ vs. XT6: the VISTIQ replaces the XT6 as Cadillac’s midsize three-row. Car and Driver reports more second-row and third-row legroom than the XT6.

VISTIQ Wheel and Tire Sizes

• 21-inch wheels with 285/45R21 all-season, self-sealing tires are standard on Luxury and Sport.
• 22-inch wheels with 295/40R22 tires are standard on Premium Luxury and Platinum.
• 23-inch wheels with 305/35R23 tires are optional.

VISTIQ Safety Rating

As of this writing, neither NHTSA nor the IIHS has published a crash-test rating for the 2026 VISTIQ, according to J.D. Power. Standard driver-assistance features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning and Super Cruise.

VISTIQ Sport Review

The Sport is the second-lowest trim at $77,895 before destination. It rides on coil springs and 21-inch wheels and does without rear-axle steering, which Car and Driver says makes the lower trims a stronger value for drivers who enjoy driving. Its tested 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds matches the rest of the lineup.

How do the VISTIQ and EX90 compare on price?

Pricing may appear close at the entry point, but these vehicles are not equals at that price.

• VISTIQ Luxury ($77,395 before destination) includes dual-motor AWD and 615 hp.
• EX90 Single Motor ($78,090) is rear-wheel drive with 329 hp and up to 291 miles of range.
• To get AWD in the EX90, you step up to the Twin Motor at $81,390 and 449 hp.
• To approach the VISTIQ’s output, you need the EX90 Twin Motor Performance at $86,390 and up, which delivers 670 hp, more than the VISTIQ’s 615 hp.

The Cadillac VISTIQ includes dual-motor all-wheel drive as standard equipment, while the Volvo EX90 offers both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. When comparing pricing, shoppers should consider more than the starting MSRP — drivetrain, standard technology, seating configuration, optional equipment, destination charges, and available manufacturer incentives can all influence the final purchase price.

Edmunds’ suggested transaction prices show the VISTIQ Luxury at ~$74,746 and the EX90 Single Motor (RWD) at ~$72,020 — but to get AWD in the EX90, you’ll step up to the Twin Motor Plus at ~$78,967, already more than the VISTIQ. Final pricing depends on incentives, options and destination fees, so ask your dealer for a written quote.

Which has more range, the VISTIQ or the EX90?

On paper this is a tie. Both top out at 305 EPA-estimated miles, though the VISTIQ’s figure applies with the standard 11.5 kW onboard charger (300 miles with the 19.2 kW module) and the EX90’s 305 miles applies to AWD models on 21-inch wheels (298 miles on others).

Edmunds’ own range test is useful context: the VISTIQ covered 334 miles against a 302-mile EPA figure, and the EX90 covered 321 miles against a 305-mile figure. Both beat their ratings, and the VISTIQ beat it by the wider margin.

Which charges faster?

This is the EX90’s clearest win. For 2026 Volvo moved to an 800-volt system and quotes 10-80% in as little as 22 minutes at a 350 kW DC charger, with independent testing from Edmunds hitting the 350 kW peak and averaging 178 kW.

The VISTIQ peaks at 190 kW and Cadillac quotes up to 80 miles of range in about 10 minutes. In Edmunds’ test, it took 17 minutes and 26 seconds to add 100 miles of range, slower than some rivals. What offsets that for VISTIQ owners:

• Available NACS adapter: Cadillac lists a GM-approved NACS DC adapter that opens up 29,000+ Tesla Superchargers.
• Higher home charging option: the available 19.2 kW onboard module (standard on Premium Luxury and Platinum) adds up to 46.9 miles of range per hour on a suitable Level 2 circuit, versus up to 29 miles per hour with the standard 11.5 kW module. The EX90 uses an 11 kW onboard charger.

For most daily driving in Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond, overnight home charging does most of the work, so the DC speed gap matters mainly on road trips over Snoqualmie Pass.

Which is quicker?

The VISTIQ’s 615 hp and a Cadillac-estimated 3.7-second 0-60 time are standard on every trim. Volvo’s quickest EX90, the Twin Motor Performance, claims 670 hp and 0-60 in 4.0 seconds. That means Volvo wins on peak horsepower, while Cadillac claims the quicker sprint. The more affordable Twin Motor EX90 (449 hp, 5.3 seconds) and Single Motor (329 hp, 6.6 seconds) are noticeably slower than any VISTIQ.

Super Cruise vs. Pilot Assist: which offers hands-free driving?

This is where ownership value diverges.

• Cadillac Super Cruise is hands-free driving on compatible roads and comes standard on every 2026 VISTIQ with three years of OnStar connectivity included. After the included term, a paid plan is required.
• Volvo Pilot Assist keeps the driver’s hands on the wheel. It supports lane centering and adaptive cruise up to 93 mph and can help with lane changes via the turn signal, but it is not a hands-free system.
• Lidar is gone on the EX90. Volvo’s own features page now states that lidar is no longer available, so the sensor hardware once promoted for future unsupervised driving is not part of the 2026 car.

If you spend a lot of time on I-405, I-90 or SR 520, the standard Super Cruise is a meaningful daily-use difference.

Which has more space, cargo and towing?

The VISTIQ is the larger vehicle: 205.6 inches long on a 122-inch wheelbase, against the EX90’s 198.3 inches and 117.5 inches.

• Third row: 15.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the VISTIQ’s third row versus 11.4 for the EX90, so the Cadillac handles more groceries or strollers with all seats up.
• Maximum cargo: 80.2 cubic feet in the VISTIQ versus 73.5 to 75.4 in the EX90, depending on seating layout.
• Third-row legroom: Cadillac lists 30.63 inches in the VISTIQ.
• Towing: 5,000 pounds for the VISTIQ versus 4,850 pounds for AWD EX90s and 3,307 pounds for the Single Motor. The VISTIQ’s factory hitch is an option, and on Luxury and Sport trims it requires the six-passenger seating package.

The EX90 does offer a small 1.6-cubic-foot frunk and a polished, tech-forward interior with Google built in, a 14.5-inch screen and an available Bowers & Wilkins system with Dolby Atmos.

How do the interiors and technology compare?

Both cabins aim for a calm, upscale feel. Volvo’s strengths are its minimalist design, a 14.5-inch portrait touchscreen with Google Maps and Google Play, a 9-inch driver display and optional 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio. Cadillac counters with available luxury features on higher trims such as an augmented-reality head-up display, adaptive air suspension and Brembo brakes. Review the trim you plan to buy in person, since audio and comfort features vary by trim on both vehicles.

What about the warranty?

Both list a 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, according to Car and Driver. Cadillac.com lists the VISTIQ’s EV battery warranty at 8 years/100,000 miles; confirm current terms for both vehicles at the time of purchase.

Which should you buy?

Pick the Cadillac VISTIQ if hands-free highway driving, interior space, towing and standard AWD performance matter most. Pick the Volvo EX90 if you frequently drive long distances with fast-charging stops, want a bigger power ceiling, or value Volvo’s design language. The best way to decide is to drive them back to back on roads you know.
