QUICKER THAN A BMW X5M, CHEAPER THAN AN ESCALADE!

EV Channels Review

The Cadillac Vistiq is presented as a compelling, more accessible alternative to the larger Escalade, offering a potent blend of performance and luxury. While it doesn't quite match the Escalade's prestige or the raw fun of the Escalade-V, the Vistiq impresses with its 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong straight-line acceleration that rivals more expensive performance SUVs, achieving 0-60 mph in the low 4-second range. The reviewer highlights its comfortable ride quality and advanced Super Cruise system, enhanced by Google Maps integration for lane changes. However, the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is noted as a significant drawback. Interior luxury is present with massaging and ventilated seats, though some premium features like second-row screen rotation are omitted to position it below the Escalade. The Vistiq's 300-mile estimated range and 102 kWh battery are considered solid for its class. Despite some quirky interior trim choices, the Vistiq is ultimately recommended as a well-rounded, performance-oriented luxury EV that offers good value.
