Cadillac’s Latest Three-Row SUV Has Big Deals Before It Even Hits Dealers

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq is about to start arriving at dealerships in the US. But before it even hits the pavement, Cadillac dealers are already offering big discounts. That’s before you even head down to the showroom, where we’re sure there’s more money off to be had.

For potential buyers, it’s a lot better than the markups that hot new models get when they first go on sale. For the company and its dealers, though, it’s certainly not a good sign.

Cadillac Is Already Offering A $2k Discount – But Wait, There’s More

A quick search of dealer inventory on Cadillac’s website shows the bargains. Most dealers advertise MSRP, but some already advertise less. We found multiple dealers advertising $2,000 off on vehicles still marked as in transit, and one already taking $4,000 off the price.

The $2,000 discount appears to be coming directly from the factory. It’s a “competitive cash allowance,” and it’s good for owners of 2011 and newer or lessees of 2020 or newer models from a range of competitive brands, including Acura, Audi, Ford, Tesla, and others.

Cadillac’s latest EV could be the one the market needs right now.

Fred Beans Cadillac in Pennsylvania is offering an additional $2,000 over that discount. It is advertising its inbound Vistiq Luxury AWD for $75,415, with an MSRP of $79,415.

Apply those discounts and the $7,500 federal EV incentive for a lease, and you’re looking at $788/month for 36 months with $0 down. Not bad for an $80,000 luxury electric SUV. When the Vistiq finally arrives at dealers, though, even better lease payments could come with it.

Vistiq Comes With 615 HP, 300-Mile Range

Vistiq is Cadillac’s electric equivalent to the XT6. It’s a three-row crossover with some of the brand’s latest tech features, including a 33-inch curved display, available 23-speaker AKG audio, and Super Cruise hands-off highway driving.

Its 102-kWh battery pack delivers a GM-estimated 300-mile range. Dual-motor AWD is standard, with 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. In Velocity Max mode, the Vistiq can do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.

When charging, the SUV will be able to add up to 79 miles of range in 10 minutes. It won’t come with an NACS charge port, but GM will offer an adapter to let owners use stations equipped with that plug.

2026 Cadillac Vistiq Will Be A 615-HP Three-Row Luxury EV For Under $80,000

Cadillac has finally revealed pricing and technical details of its latest electric vehicle, scheduled to arrive early next year.

The entry-grade Luxury trim model’s MSRP starts at $78,790 before destination. The lineup also includes Sport, Premium Luxury, and Platinum, with the latter starting at $97,980. The issue might be that those prices step firmly on the toes of the Cadillac Escalade. While the Escalade is gas-powered (though there’s an electric version too), it’s significantly larger than Vistiq, so it holds more stuff and people. Bigger is generally better, especially at Caddy dealers.

While the dealers showing a Vistiq all list the model as “in transit,” they shouldn’t be for long. Estimated delivery dates were clustered around the end of March.
