Cadillac’s all-electric lineup continues to grow, and the latest addition is both bold and future-ready. The 2026 model represents a refined evolution of the brand’s approach to luxury SUVs. Built on GM’s Ultium platform, this electric SUV brings sophistication, spaciousness, and advanced performance together in a way that feels uniquely Cadillac. Every detail, from the reworked cabin layout to the dynamic performance profile, has been shaped with modern drivers in mind. It’s more than a new SUV, it’s a statement of where Cadillac is headed.
Let's examine what sets this model apart and why it's capturing the attention of luxury EV enthusiasts in Canada.
What’s New for 2026?
As a fresh nameplate in the Cadillac family, this is the first model year for this electric SUV. It shares DNA with the LYRIQ but carves out a distinct identity with three rows, added versatility, and bolder proportions. One of the standout differences is its spaciousness, making it ideal for families and adventurers who require both comfort and capability. It enters the scene with a clear mission: to bring Cadillac-level luxury to the growing three-row electric SUV market.
Infotainment and Technology Advancements
Inside, the experience is centred around a sweeping 33-inch advanced LED display. This unified screen offers stunning visuals and seamless interaction across infotainment, vehicle settings, and navigation. The interface is designed with ease of use in mind, offering voice control and natural gesture response for an intuitive driving experience. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with high-speed connectivity and access to GM’s evolving software suite.
Drivers can fine-tune performance settings using the integrated Drive Mode app, accessible through the display. For an elevated audio experience, Cadillac includes premium AKG audio systems across select trims, delivering clean, immersive sound that adapts to cabin space.
Exterior Styling That Commands Attention
The design approach blends sharp, modern edges with signature Cadillac lighting. Vertical LED lighting elements in the front and rear give the vehicle a distinctive look, even at night. Sculpted body panels add both presence and aerodynamic benefit, while flush door handles and large alloy wheel options reinforce its luxury positioning.
From every angle, the exterior expresses quiet strength. The visual impact is sleek but not understated, offering strong proportions with a refined profile. Every trim reflects Cadillac’s attention to clean design language and premium finishing.
Inside the Cabin: Comfort with Purpose
Step inside, and you’re met with three-row seating that feels open, thoughtful, and ready for long drives. The flat battery design under the floor frees up cabin height and legroom across all rows. Material quality is consistent with Cadillac’s reputation, soft-touch surfaces, authentic wood accents, and available leather-appointed seating.
The SUV features a generous cargo space of up to 2,271 litres, particularly with the third row folded. Versatility is a theme here, making it a solid choice for families or road trip planners. Heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting, and panoramic glass roofs are available depending on the trim, adding comfort at every level.
Performance: All-Electric Strength
Underneath the stylish body is GM’s Ultium battery platform, equipped with a 190-kilowatt-hour pack. This battery allows for an estimated 127 kilometres of range on a full charge in just 10 minutes, providing strong coverage for both city commutes and long-haul travel. The overall range of this model is 491 kilometres on full charge. The dual-motor setup delivers all-wheel drive capability, 615 horsepower, and 650 lb-ft of torque, offering strong traction across various conditions.
Acceleration is responsive, and optional V-Mode gives drivers the chance to unlock customized settings focused on performance. When activated, the system optimizes power delivery, steering feel, and even cabin sound feedback for a sportier experience. Launch Control is available and enables acceleration from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.7 seconds under specific driving modes, showcasing its capability in straight-line performance.
Built-In Confidence: Safety and Driver Support
Safety takes a front seat, with Cadillac's advanced suite of driver-assist features included or available across trims. Super Cruise, the brand's hands-free highway driving system, is standard and includes a 3-year plan. This system enables confident driving on compatible roads, featuring adaptive cruise control, lane centring, and driver attention alerts.
Additional features include blind zone steering assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive headlights, and a surround vision camera. These systems combine to offer peace of mind in busy traffic or while navigating tight terrain. As with other Cadillac vehicles, the safety layout is designed to feel supportive rather than intrusive.
