The verdict

What's good

Super Cruise enables genuinely hands-free highway driving on mapped US routes
Three-row layout seats eight without the penalty of a traditional minivan profile

What's not

Real-world range in cold climates can fall well short of the EPA figure
Weight of the dual-motor battery pack blunts steering feel versus ICE rivals

The engine

Ultium

Dual-Motor Electric AWD

A dual-motor all-wheel-drive electric powertrain delivering instant, silent torque and a low-slung, planted feel, propelling Cadillac's large three-row SUV with sports-car-quick acceleration.

Built on GM's Ultium BEV3 architecture, the same modular battery-and-motor platform underpinning Cadillac's Lyriq and a wave of GM electric vehicles, with the Vistiq arriving as an all-new model.

The dual-motor setup makes around 615 hp and 650 lb-ft, enough for a roughly 3.7-second 0-60 mph despite the SUV's size.
It uses a 400-volt Ultium battery of roughly 102 kWh usable capacity with NMCA cell chemistry for an EPA range near 305 miles.
Ultium's pouch cells can be stacked vertically or horizontally within the pack, giving GM flexibility to fit very different vehicle shapes on one platform.
