Design highlights of the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ
London, December 11, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– The Cadillac VISTIQ will launch in early 2025 – joining the LYRIQ, OPTIQ, ESCALADE IQ, and CELESTIQ in the luxury brand’s growing electric vehicle portfolio. VISTIQ offers an advanced electric powertrain and a luxurious, tech-laden cabin – but its commanding exterior design will be the first thing drivers notice. We sat down with Zhou Fang, lead creative designer at Cadillac, to discuss the VISTIQ’s striking exterior design – and how the brand applied signature Cadillac design cues to its first electric three-row SUV.
Bold first impressions
The VISTIQ’s exterior design starts with its bold, upright front end, Fang says. Even though it’s a segment below the full-size ESCALADE IQ, the VISTIQ sports the largest version of the Black Crystal Shield grille that now appears on all new Cadillac EVs. Like other Cadillac models, the VISTIQ will be available with two different grille designs – a pinstripe design for the Luxury trim, and a mesh look for the Sport trim.
“We have the art-deco inspired pinstripe to give [the Luxury trim] a more tailored, sophisticated feeling,” Fang says. “There’s a spread wing-like backlit pattern with diamond shapes inside the grille for the Sport model, which suggests the vehicle is primed for performance.”
Another subtle feature is the VISTIQ’s D-pillar sail panel, which has a unique tornado shape that widens toward the roof. The design is a nod to Cadillacs of the past.
