Cadillac, the premium vehicle brand of General Motors, has filed its Vistiq electric sport utility vehicle for regulatory approval in China, signalling that the model currently sold in the United States is set to enter local production and sales in the world’s largest auto market.
The Cadillac Vistiq appears in the latest batch of vehicle models released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) for public consultation, a mandatory final-stage regulatory process before commercial sales are permitted. The public feedback window runs from December 6 to December 12.
According to the regulatory filing, the Vistiq will be offered in both single-motor and dual-motor configurations. The single-motor version is rated at 255 kilowatts of peak output. The dual-motor variant combines a 183-kilowatt front motor and a 260-kilowatt rear motor, delivering a combined peak output of 443 kilowatts. Top speed is listed at 190 kilometres per hour.
The Vistiq is positioned as a large premium electric SUV, measuring 5,222 millimetres in length, 2,026 mm in width and between 1,795 mm and 1,803 mm in height, depending on specification. The wheelbase is 3,094 mm, underlining its three-row, full-size positioning. Curb weight ranges from 2,740 kg to 2,860 kg across variants.
Battery packs for the China-bound Vistiq will use ternary lithium cells supplied by China’s leading battery manufacturer CATL, the filing showed. Energy capacity figures were not disclosed in the regulatory documentation.
In the United States, the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq is already on sale with prices ranging from $79,090 to $98,190, placing it firmly in the premium electric SUV segment.
Cadillac currently sells two fully electric models in China, the Lyriq and the Optiq, as it seeks to expand its electrified lineup in a market where foreign automakers face intense competition from domestic EV brands.
