Cadillac’s transformation into an electric luxury marque reaches a compelling new stage with its 2026 EV lineup. Instead of offering one electric model for every type of driver, Cadillac now presents a nuanced collection spanning compact crossovers, performance vehicles, three-row family SUVs and hand-built ultra-luxury transportation.
At Cadillac of South San Francisco, we help Colma and Bay Area drivers compare these models according to passenger space, electric range, power, charging capability and everyday utility. The Cadillac electric vehicle lineup includes the OPTIQ, LYRIQ, VISTIQ, ESCALADE IQ, ESCALADE IQL and CELESTIQ, along with exhilarating V-Series interpretations of the OPTIQ and LYRIQ.
2026 Cadillac OPTIQ
The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ is the most compact member of Cadillac’s electric SUV family, but it is hardly austere. Its standard single-motor rear-wheel-drive system generates 315 horsepower and provides an EPA-estimated 317 miles of range. Available dual-motor all-wheel drive raises output to 440 horsepower and 498 lb.-ft. of torque while retaining an EPA-estimated 303-mile range.
Inside, the five-passenger OPTIQ features a 33-inch Horizon Display, a 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system and an airy SkyGlass roof. Standard Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance technology adds long-distance convenience. The OPTIQ-V transforms the same urbane platform with 519 horsepower, 650 lb.-ft. of torque and a Cadillac-estimated zero-to-60-mph time of 3.5 seconds.
2026 Cadillac LYRIQ
The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ blends dramatic proportions with a quiet, spacious two-row cabin. Rear-wheel-drive models produce 365 horsepower and offer up to 326 miles of EPA-estimated range. Available dual-motor all-wheel drive increases output to 515 horsepower while supplying up to 319 miles of range with the standard onboard charging module.
A curved 33-inch Horizon Display, Google built-in compatibility, 126-color Radiance Lighting and available Nappa leather create an interior that feels decidedly contemporary. The LYRIQ-V adds 615 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque in Velocity Max, enabling a Cadillac-estimated zero-to-60-mph time of 3.3 seconds. It is the quickest Cadillac of the 2026 model year.
2026 Cadillac VISTIQ
Drivers needing three rows without the dimensions of a full-size SUV can consider the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ. This seven-passenger electric SUV fills the space between the LYRIQ and ESCALADE IQ, providing up to 80.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the first row.
Standard dual-motor all-wheel drive produces a Cadillac-estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque in Velocity Max. The VISTIQ can travel up to an EPA-estimated 305 miles and add as much as 80 miles of range in approximately 10 minutes at a compatible DC fast charger. Available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Active Rear Steering and five-zone ClimateSense temperature control bring additional sophistication.
2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQ and ESCALADE IQL
The 2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQ carries the Escalade’s ceremonial presence into the electric era. Its 205-kWh battery supports a Cadillac-estimated 465-mile range, while Velocity Max releases up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb.-ft. of torque. Public DC fast charging can restore as much as 117 miles of range in about 10 minutes.
A 55-inch Horizon Display spans the front cabin. Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Magnetic Ride Control and four-wheel steering help the large SUV remain composed and unexpectedly maneuverable. Cadillac Arrival Mode can turn the rear wheels in coordination with the front wheels to assist during particular low-speed maneuvers.
The 2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQL extends the formula. Its longer body provides additional third-row headroom, 36.7 inches of third-row legroom and greater cargo capacity. Driving range remains formidable at a Cadillac-estimated 460 miles, while output reaches the same available 750 horsepower in Velocity Max.
Cadillac CELESTIQ
At the summit sits the Cadillac CELESTIQ, a hand-built electric vehicle commissioned around its owner. Rather than selecting a conventional trim, each client collaborates with a Cadillac design concierge to develop a bespoke combination of colors, materials and finishes.
The CELESTIQ produces 655 horsepower and 646 lb.-ft. of torque, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds with Velocity Max. Its significance, however, lies in fastidious craftsmanship, individual four-zone ClimateSense microclimates and a degree of personalization rarely encountered in modern production vehicles.
