Flashback to January 2019 and the Detroit Auto Show. While automaker participation in this and other shows had been waning for many years, there were still some significant announcements coming out of what was meant to be the last winter auto show in Detroit. Among the more notable was the Cadillac event the evening before the show’s media day. At that time, Cadillac revealed its new 3-row crossover, the XT6 and provided the first teaser image of its upcoming electric vehicle that would become the Lyriq. At the event, it was announced that Cadillac would be the lead brand for GM’s all-in push to become an EV maker. In the more than six years since, a few speed bumps and potholes (it is Detroit after all) have disrupted the road to electrification, but Cadillac now has a full lineup of electric utility vehicles plus the low volume Celestiq, and we’ve just had a chance to drive what can be considered the electric successor to the XT6, the 2026 Vistiq (pronounced vis-tick).
It’s now been three years since the market launch of the Lyriq, and Cadillac has essentially created a parallel lineup of crossovers and SUVs to the gas-engined lineup.
Apart from the now out of production compact XT4, none of the gas vehicles have been fully replaced by EVs yet, but as the market develops and hopefully sales grow, we’ll probably see more of the combustion models fall by the wayside. The XT4 was never very successful so replacing it with the Optiq was a fairly easy choice.
At the opposite end of the lineup, the Escalade has been the brand’s best seller for most of its 25-year history, and it’s staying around alongside the electric Escalade IQ.
In between, there are the XT5, XT6, Lyriq and Vistiq. The XT5 is a midsize two-row crossover and the XT6 shares the same platform and wheelbase but with a longer, taller body to accommodate the third row of seats. Cadillac has followed the same pattern with the Vistiq, sharing the 121-inch wheelbase with the Lyriq but using a longer, more upright top-hat.
Cadillac likes to refer to the Vistiq as the “baby Escalade,” and from a design perspective that’s fairly apt. No sheetmetal is shared with the Lyriq, but the core front end styling is similar with the same chevron pattern on the faux-grille that is backlit and provides a walk-up light show. As with the other current models in the lineup, the headlamps are a vertical stack of LED projectors that fill up as if being poured in as the car powers up.
At 205.6 inches long, the Vistiq is just shy of nine inches longer and 6.7-inches taller than the Lyriq while also weighing about 700-lbs more. In place of the fastback roofline of the two-row machine, the Vistiq roof extends back to provide room for third-row passengers. The rear quarter windows of the Vistiq feature the same laser etching pattern between the glass layers as the smaller Optiq to impart a sense of motion. The “hockey-stick” upper tail lamp pattern that sits mostly on the side of the rear quarters of the Lyriq now sits at the trailing edge and folds into the tailgate.
The Living Space
The command portion of the cabin has a lot of similarity to the Lyriq including the same 33-inch curved display with a small touch control area on the left along with the main infotainment area on the right half. The center console is unique to the Vistiq but with a similar general layout. The most notable functional change is the extra touchscreen that angles up from the forward edge of the console.
Like most of GM’s other current models, the Lyriq has a row of switches in the center of the dashboard for climate controls, but the Vistiq uses this lower touchscreen instead. According to Cadillac, the main reason is that the three-row vehicle has a five-zone climate control system, two each in the first two rows and the fifth for the back row. Providing physical controls for all of this would have been far too cluttered. Thankfully, Cadillac has not followed its cross-town rivals at Lincoln and it has retained a simple physical interface to adjust the vents. Like other Cadillacs, the Vistiq has a small knurled knob on each vent to open and close and alter the direction. Lincoln, please take note, this is exactly how it should be done!
Speaking of that five-zone climate control, the second and third-row seats feature weight sensors to detect if anyone is sitting there. If the seats are empty, the climate control in those zones is automatically turned off to minimize energy use from the battery.
The revised proportions of the Vistiq mean that both the second- and third-row seats can easily accommodate adults in all seating positions. I’m five-foot-ten-inches with a long torso so headroom for me is often as tightly as more gangly friends with longer limbs. I was able to sit in the way back with my head not touching the headliner but not having more than an inch or two of additional clearance. My knees were also clear of the second row seats although they were a bit higher than I prefer, it wasn’t like sitting on the floor the way many older solid axle SUVs used to be. I wouldn’t want to sit back there for a cross-country trip, but going across town or diving 40 minutes to go to dinner in Detroit would be no problem.
The cabin of our tester was finished in a mix of light and dark greys, some open pour wood and lovely blue leather on the seats, armrests and dash top. The seats are comfortable, and the first two rows are heated with the front occupants also getting ventilation.
Behind the third row, there is 15.4 cubic feet of cargo space plus a bit more under the floor where charging cables and other odds and ends can be stored. With the second and third rows folded flat (something that can be accomplished with just a push of the buttons on the side of the cargo area) that grows to over 80 cubic feet.
Cabin Tech
Like all but the most entry-level GM models, the infotainment system is Android Automotive with Google Automotive Services, and since the Vistiq is electric, there is no CarPlay or Android Auto projection. Overall, I’ve been content with these systems across multiple manufacturers, I just log into my google account and my navigation preferences are there and PocketCasts has my podcasts synced from my Android phone and Macbook Pro.
There are a couple of functional areas that I want to see Google address though, messaging, calendar and contacts. I can pair my phone over Bluetooth (this works for iPhones too) and make calls. But when I use Android Auto, I have access to my calendar in Google Calendar. For events that have a location, I can just tap on it and the route comes up in Maps, very clean and simple. If Google assistant in the system can recognize my voice and open my garage, why can’t I have Calendar? The other is messaging. While text messaging is supported over Bluetooth, I want access to Google Messages, WhatsApp, or other platforms or preferably Beeper which gives me access to all of my messages in one place. Come on, let’s get this fixed.
On the plus side, built in Google Maps does offer an important new advantage with Super Cruise which is standard on the Vistiq. GM and Google have now integrated the two features in some new ways. Super Cruise still uses high-res maps from Dynamic Map Platform to define where Super Cruise can be used. However, now when you are navigating with Google Maps, the thick blue line that indicates your route on the map now features a thin white line down the middle to indicate that the road is hands-free capable. No more tapping the button on the steering wheel to see if Super Cruise will activate.
The other Maps integration feature is that Super Cruise will use Google’s lane guidance. Maps has long popped up a box as you approach an exit or turn to suggest which lane you should be in. Super Cruise now reads that same data and will automatically change lanes if possible to get you into the appropriate lane. If your exit is on the right and you are in the left lane, Super Cruise looks for a gap and starts moving you over.
One of the biggest complaints about Super Cruise has been the lack of a fall-back hands-on lane centering mode as found on most other such systems. That has also been fixed on the Vistiq. As the vehicle enters a zone such as a construction lane shift, where hands-on is needed, the steering wheel light bar turns red, the seat buzzes beneath you and you put hands on the wheel while retaining lane centering assistance.
Super Cruise also now has auto engagement. The driver just needs to activate regular adaptive cruise control and as soon as the vehicle is lined up in the lane of a hands-free approved road, the light bar will turn green and the driver can release the wheel, no need to tap additional buttons. When leaving a hands-on zone, the same thing happens, just release the wheel.
The system will also now follow some types of interchanges when navigating. We drove east from Chelsea, Michigan across the north side of Ann Arbor. Where M-14 splits off from I-94, as long as the vehicle is in the left two lanes that split off, the hands-free element will stay active unless you tap the brake pedal to disengage cruise control. We only had to put hands back on the wheel as we merged back onto US-23 northbound but once in the new lane, went hands-free again.
GM has been regularly updating Super Cruise with new functionality ever since the second generation debuted on the Hummer EV in 2021 and it remains the best and most reliable such system on the market today. It’s now approaching 600,000 miles of roads where it can used including many rural two-lane roads and in the coming years we’ll likely start to see an expansion to suburban and urban roads and even traffic signal recognition.
Augmenting Reality
Another cool new feature on the Vistiq is an augmented reality heads-up display (AR-HUD). This is a dual-plane display that uses laser illumination to provide a much broader color space for greater information. Traditional HUDs project information that appears to float above the front bumper. The second plane of the AR-HUD appears to float about 10 meters ahead of the vehicle and is used to project information such as driver assist, navigation and Super Cruise content. The near plane is primarily for vehicle information like speed and battery charge.
When using Super Cruise, the far plane projects arrows onto the roadway in the direction you are travelling. When approaching another vehicle travelling slower and the radar is checking the adjacent lane for a gap to execute a pass, arcs implying the radar wave will appear where the gap is. As the system prepares to change lanes for the pass, the arrows animate and turn up and in the direction of the intended maneuver. It’s cool looking and provides the driver more awareness of what is happening without having to look away from the road.
The system was developed by a company that spun out of Cambridge University called Envisics which got an investment from GM Ventures several years back. The original goal was to launch the system on the Lyriq, but it wasn’t ready yet. After the Vistiq, we’ll probably see it expand to other models.
Scoot to 60 MPH in 3.7 Seconds
The Vistiq rides on the same basic suspension architecture as the Lyriq and Blazer EV with a multi-link front suspension and 5-link rear arrangement. All Vistiqs get an adaptive damping system as standard equipment with the base Luxury and Sport trims getting steel coil springs. The Premium Luxury model we drove and the Platinum get air springs as well as active rear wheel steering. 21-inch wheels and tires are standard on the Luxury and Sport trims with 22- and 23-inch options available.
As someone old enough to remember the Cadillac land yachts of the 1970s and 1980s I know what it felt like to literally float down the road, wobbling up and down and side to side like a balloon caught in a breeze. While it soaked up the road, it wasn’t what could be described as controlled with seemingly no damping.
A Vistiq on air springs with adaptive dampers provides exceptional ride comfort, even on less than ideal Michigan roads including some unpaved and pock-marked rural roads. At the same time, the body control is excellent so the feeling is more like what I image riding in one of the “flying cars” on Coruscant in Andor would be like.
The Vistiq is also very quiet, which is to be expected from an electric vehicle. But Cadillac goes further with a road noise mitigation feature (something the now-defunct could really have used). The lack of engine noise to mask every other sound in EVs makes achieving a quiet environment harder in some respects. Cadillac uses a series of accelerometers on the chassis to measure movement combined with microphones. This is used for a feed forward control system that generates opposing waves in the cabin before the road noise is even perceptible. The system really works and even on the grooved concrete highways that we are saddled with in Michigan, the Vistiq is very, very quiet, the better to enjoy the 23-speaker AKG sound system with Dolby Atmos.
For a 6,300-pound, relatively tall machine, the Vistiq also handles surprisingly well. It helps that about 1,300-ish pounds of battery are mounted down low, but the suspension and steering doing an admirable job. GM has managed to achieve surprisingly good steering feel on most of its new vehicles with nice weighting and feedback.
With the extra weight to haul around, Cadillac has skipped the rear wheel drive option for the Vistiq and put in two motors on all Vistiqs. Compared to the Lyriq, the Vistiq gets an extra 100 horsepower and 200 lb.-ft. of torque for a total of 615 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s enough to move this slightly less than a behemoth to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds when you press the velocity max button the steering wheel. Even without the boost, accelerating to merge onto a highway or complete a pass on a two-lane back road is utterly effortless.
During our two and a half hours of driving, we had zero issues with any of the infotainment software apart from the missing features mentioned previously. Unlike the Lyriq, which was definitely not ready for human consumption when we first drove it nearly three years ago, GM finally seems to be getting its software act together.
Replenishing Those Electrons
The EPA still hasn’t published the official range numbers for the Vistiq, but GM claims that with the same 102-kWh battery pack in the Lyriq, it will achieve at least 300 miles of range. While GM has updated the software on its EVs to support charging on Tesla Superchargers, they still aren’t equipping vehicles with NACS/SAE J3400 charge ports or even including Plug & Charge capability. That means you’ll have to rely on an adapter like the Lectron Vortex that I recently tested with a Lyriq, and you’ll have to use either the MyCadillac app or the Tesla app to initiate and stop the charging session.
At either a Supercharger or other 350 kW DC fast charger, the Vistiq will charge at up to about 200 kW. An 11.5 kW AC charger is standard for level 2 charging, but an optional 19.6 kW charger is available for use if you have an 80-100A charging circuit. All of the Vistiqs also include bi-directional charging capability that can power a home that’s equipped with the GM Energy V2H integration system but those don’t come cheap. The bundle including a 19.2-kW bidirectional charger costs $7,299 before installation.
The Bottom Line
The 2026 Vistiq Luxury trim starts at $79,090, including delivery. Another $500 gets you the Sport with some black trim and body color door handles. The Premium Luxury model we drove for a few hours came to a grand total of $94,915, which included the $695 Celestial metallic paint, which looks great in the sun. The Platinum trim launching later this summer will go for $98,190. The Vistiq is not inexpensive by any means, but in the context of luxury 3-row electric SUVs, it’s a decent value.
Arguably, the most affordable competitors are the Volvo EX90 and Lucid Gravity, which both start at little over $80,000 (or at least the Gravity Touring model will when it becomes available later in the year). The Volvo’s third row is much tighter, it doesn’t offer as much performance, and it’s current hands-on Pilot Assist has nowhere the capability of Super Cruise. With its LIDAR it might someday surpass Super Cruise, but we don’t know when that might be. The Gravity is the closest competitor on price and performance, and it’s significantly more efficient than the Vistiq for over 400 miles of range. Like the Volvo, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV also has a very tight third row and it starts at $10K more than the Premium Luxury Vistiq.
It could be argued that the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S should also be in this group. However, the Model X has never felt especially premium given its price point, although in Plaid form it is certainly quicker. But all of these machines are more than quick enough that performance isn’t really a differentiator because almost no one that buys these is going to the drag strip on Friday nights. The Rivian feels more premium than the Tesla, but like the Volvo and Mercedes it’s third row is less useful than the Cadillac and it’s ride quality isn’t at the same level either. The Rivian is really aimed at a different kind of buyer although as with most off-roaders it will probably spend most of its time in the mall parking lot or the after school pickup line.
That brings us back to the Cadillac, Volvo, Lucid and Mercedes and among this grouping, the Vistiq fairs better than expected given the initial parallels drawn to the XT5/XT6. It’s much more deserving of consideration than the XT6 ever was.
We love our Lyriq and this Vistiq looks awesome in Celestial with blue leather. I think Cadillac EVs are the best in the game at the moment (and have actual names woohoo) but man the lack of apple carplay sucks. Our lyriq has it and the combo of the android based system and the ability to still use carplay if you’d like is so perfect that I hate that GM has made this decision.
I still expect them to walk it back eventually, but the more cars they sell without it the more emboldened they’ll become.
I just leased a ’25 Lyriq Sport 3 and saw the Vistiq in the showroom and was encouraged to look at both the Vistiq and Optiq before making my final decision. Like another person who commented here, I too like that the Lyriq is low and wide like a wagon, and fit my desires more. The Vistiq, very nice but looked more family-like for what I was going for. I do wish the Lyriq had the HUD, and the fabric-like door lining that’s featured on these and the Optiqs.
Overall I think Cadillac is killing it with these EVs, minus the software side of the equation. I moved from a 6MT Acura V6, but haven’t looked back. I love the performance combined with the easy driving dynamics and the power.
Gotta love the Throttle House boys take on Vistiq
What’s the point of the graphics over the third-row window? To make them feel like they’re riding a public transit bus with ads all over the outside?
Bear with me: Cadillac ought to be split into two brands. The electric (and any future hybrid) models stay with Cadillac, but the ICE models get rebadged as LaSalles. Eventually, once the gas cars are phased out, the LaSalle brand is, too. (Again.) This allows the dealers to keep their traditional ICE customers while pushing Cadillac as the brand of future.
Generally speaking I actively dislike modern SUVs and CUVs, they all look the same and any use of one that goes beyond something you could do while enjoying driving a GTI would be better served by a minivan. Towing is a different story but towing with an EV isn’t exactly optimal by anyone’s standards.
That being said – Look at the color of this car and it’s garish interior. I love it. Instead of six shades of black, a navy and a burgundy it’s freakin lavender!
I don’t see why different zones require a touchscreen due to “clutter” when all it would require is another switch or dial to select the different zone. My GR86 has 2 zones (for whatever reason) and it has two dials—one for each side—and a small row of buttons underneath to select mode. Add another selector dial or switch for the different rows, and done. It would take less space than the screen they located in a scratch-, spills-, dust-, and impact-prone location. With only 3 options for rows, a rotary selector switch could match the dials’ functionally while both taking up less space and standing out from the other dials by being narrower. That’s certainly not the only way to do it, either. Three dials and a switch: two dials for each side of a given row to set temps, one dial for blend doors (that would just work top, bottom, and combined in the back rows), and one dial/selector switch for the row. I’m sure plenty of us could come up with other ideas. Just another lazy fabrication to justify cheaping out and throwing in another shitty touchscreen. I think I preferred a time when people put more effort into lying. It was much harder to discern lie from truth and left you questioning more, but it wasn’t as insulting and it’s not like I’ve gotten less
paranoidsuspicious with the brazen lying that’s become the standard of the day.Great colors, though! I hope to actually see these colors on the road.
Oh man, those line-y things on the rear quarter windows… what were they thinking? They look like the tint was applied poorly and is bubbling off. Just no.
Cadillac Chapstick, got it.
Uh-uh: Chapstiq.
Like the blue interior, but the controls look like CUE 2.0 and that gets a hard nope from me.
And that lower screen is absolutely going to redirect sunlight straight into your eyeballs at some times of day. They did absolutely no usability testing on this disaster.
The now-defunct what?
If you need to do this, marketing done messed up.
I just acquired a 2025 Lyriq Luxury 2, with the Emerald Lake Metallic (green) paint.
The pros: Gorgeous design, superb seat comfort, exceptional range, fantastic noise mitigation, Super Cruise is lovely. I especially like the fact that it’s got a low and wide stance, like a wagon. I would also like to point out that a 121.8-inch wheelbase exceeds that of a 2015 BMW 7 Series, and while some of that is given to the car’s generous dash-to-axle ratio, it also boasts impressive second-row legroom.
The cons: Mainly the software. It’s pretty, but it doesn’t really take advantage of the vast screen real estate or the capabilities of an Internet-connected car. Despite having driver profiles, it still ties the default memory when you get into the car to Key 1 or Key 2, like my aunt’s old 1997 Buick Riviera Supercharged. There’s no YouTube app available in the Google Play store for the car, so you can’t watch videos while parked. I also had a GM insider tell me that the interface in the Optiq, Lyriq and Vistiq has already reached EOL, so–unlike a Tesla, where you get meaningful software upgrades for quite a while–don’t expect any of these cars to receive further development apart from bug updates. So they’re like your typical locked-down automotive interfaces, in that way. Finally, the suspension is a little bit chattier than I’d like over road heaves and washboard roads.
I did see the Vistiq in person when I was signing the paperwork on the Lyriq. It only looks physically diminutive when parked next to the Escalade IQ, which the dealer also had a few of in inventory. Otherwise, it’s a substantial car with a real design gravitas that Cadillac hasn’t had in a very long time outside from Escalade models. I prefer the physical climate-control buttons in the Optiq and Lyriq to the touchscreen setup in the Vistiq, but I understand how that might have been the best move for the latter, since it also has to contend with second- and third-row settings.
As EVs, they still need some work, but as Cadillacs, these are some of the most compelling luxury cars GM has had in a very long time. I think that if GM develops a better EV-centralized vision for its software in these cars–especially since it is choosing not to offer CarPlay/AA–that will solve the problem.
Oh, it’s pronounced “fish stick”! Got it.
It’s like trying to say “fish stick” with a mouthful of fish sticks. Or Oscar Meyer wieners.
Has Mr. West received his royalties?
The names still seem like they came from “Project E-gregious Mystáq”
I feel like GM designs a lot of their new vehicles for Michigan roads.
Full of potholes, and straight lines.
Maybe we’d get better vehicles if they raised their taxes, paved the roads, and cleaned up the roadkill that sits there to rot for a week.
If someone swaps it to ICE with a manual, would that make it a V-Stick?
The Vistiq and the Hyundai Ioniq 9 were right next to one another on the home page and I can’t help but notice some serious similarities….
Looks like a big iq move to me.
I noticed it too, and I assume there are half a dozen other models that would fit in with them as well.
Did Hyundai start with the “-iq” naming scheme first or Cadillac?
I don’t know but they still all drive me crazy because of the 2-4 potential pronunciations. I’ll even go so far as to say I’d take alphanumeric garbage over this.
Is the “-iq” giving you “The ick”?
Or is the ick giving you the IQ?
It was Hyundai, having launched the Ioniq in 2017, as a set of vehicles (hybrid, plug-in-hybrid, battery-electric) sharing the same liftback body. That said, Hyundai chooses to use the Ioniq nameplate for all its current EVs and differentiating them with a number suffix; meanwhile, Cadillac is scooping up any other -IQ names. Sloppily, while most of the models use an “ick” pronunciation (Optiq, Lyriq, Vistiq, Celestiq), the Escalade IQ/IQL has the letters spelled out. I’m sure more than one product planning meeting at GM was had over that particular decision, but there it is.
More interestingly, if it reaches production, Cadillac’s flagship Sollei (a droptop-coupe version of the Celestiq) will not have an IQ suffix at all.
Wow 80k starting price. Sure it’s nice to be escorted in such luxury, but Vistiq don’t come cheap. I’m sure these will get cheaper after a lot of use, but I know some people won’t settle for anything but the finest unused, virgin Vistiq.
Nice color. Cadillacs naming convention still just makes me siq to my stomaq.
Oh Cadillac, you were the pinnacle of something….
Missed oppurtunity to call it the Vistiq-Cruiser.
*Pinniqle
So the noise these make… is Awesome.. its not quite like any electric hum you have heard.. it has some pitch bend, and… i just cant explain it,, but it sounds like sirens.. like beautiful women on dangerous islands calling for you..
you have to hear one of these.
I just got a Lyriq. It’s pretty cool. Cadillac purportedly took the inspiration from that sound from NASA recordings of audio from the sun. Additionally, it is based around a perfect fifth interval, musically.
oh hell yeah.. im glad someone explaining what i was hearing.. its so nice!
What a cool color combo, kudos to GM for not only offering this but highlighting it in a press unit.
We need more purple cars!
Yes, and more pink ones too.
My almost 3 yo daughter literally squeals with delight every time she sees a pink vehicle (almost always a Wrangler) but that isn’t often enough.
She would love this color too.
Someone I see on my commute periodically has a matte pink wrap on their Cadillac crossover. It makes me smile whenever I encounter them. Purple is one of my favorite colors in general…I actually have two purple guitars and another one that’s currently being custom built as my birthday present to myself.
I’d love a purple car. I’m holding out hope that Plum Crazy finds its way to the upcoming Charger Six Pack. That over a saddle brown interior would be delightful.
The exterior color is sweet and while I like the blue seats, I can’t help but think it would have been much better executed if there was more blue besides just seats and arm rests. The interior just doesn’t seem to work all that well when nothing else is blue. A huge amount of plastics, carpet, dash, wheel, door cards, etc that all stay the same black or gray, regardless of seat color, and it just seems…… odd. Blue seats with actual blue dash, door cards, wheel, and other plastics? Count me in! This execution gives me aftermarket seat cover vibes.
I agree that would be better, but in a sea of black everything we take what we can get I suppose.
You’re right. I’m probably complaining because I spend too much time daydreaming on the Porsche, Aston, and Bently configurators where you can pretty much pick any color of anything. To be fair to Cadillac, I can’t think of any similar priced vehicle as this that would let you do such cool colors so thoroughly in the interior. A $110k Range Rover seems to be where that type of stuff starts to kick in and even then it’s much more tame black, brown, white, and dark red interiors.
Different segments of course but distant cousin Corvette is actually really good about not only offering a variety of colors and combinations but letting you cover the whole interior in them if you want to.
For $80,000 you can get blue, red, orange, greenish gray, whitish gray, black, or tan. Some require two tone with black, but not all.
Genesis will also let you do some wild interiors, but the catch is that they’re usually locked behind certain exterior colors. I’ve seen green and dark magenta interiors but every time they’ve been matched to an exterior colors that’s roughly the same thing, and I’m not sure how much I’d want my interior to match my exterior personally.
I’m with you.
I thought I was the only one that doesn’t like the blue seats, especially paired with the lavender exterior color. It’s just a little bit jarring. Agreed, it should be blended with some blue door cards or something. I guess give them credit for doing something other than greyscale.
I love both the interior and exterior colors, but not as a combo. That soft purple over hard blue is jarring to me.
Me: huh this seems kind of neat
*reads $80,000*
….nevermind
I mean, when the competing Hyundai is $65-75K, a Cadillac for $80K seems almost reasonable.
And not a single soul buys these things anyway. I’m sure you’ll be able to lease one for under $1,000 a month and that’ll be enough for a lot of people.
Yeah, on Leasehackr a few people have already leased for under $900/mo effective.
It’s a lot of car for that price
Doesn’t seem that bad of a value vs a R1S or anything else I would consider a competitor.
Fair enough, and it does have something different to offer compared to the R1S
Average car sale is 47k now, shit sucks but cars are just expensive now. Inflation has something to do with it sure, but I mean hell the optioned up 3 row Chevy Travese is 65k.
I really like this, but I think you’re going to see a lot of caddy shoppers give serious consideration between this and the gas escalade which in lower trims is similarly priced (and has AA/Carplay).
