A few days ago, Cadillac's latest VISTIQ model of the non-camouflaged real car was tested overseas, the car is positioned as a pure electric large SUV, is the fourth SUV launched by Cadillac for its IQ series, and is based on General Motors' pure electric Autonen platform developed, let's take a look.
Starting with the exterior part, the VISTIQ's front design features a large grille, which is combined with the iconic vertical daytime running lights to create a recognisable shape. The chrome strip above the grille sets off the majestic momentum of the shield-shaped black crystal grating grille, while the vertical daytime running lights on both sides add a sense of dynamism and style to the ensemble.
LOOKING TO THE SIDE OF THE BODY, THE VISTIQ'S SIDE DESIGN EMBODIES A BLEND OF LUXURY AND SPORTINESS. The sleek roofline is complemented by a continuous waistline that showcases the elegance of a luxury SUV. Concealed door handles and large wheels further accentuate the modernity, giving the vehicle a more refined and sporty look. At the same time, the horizontal texture embellishment between the CD pillars further enhances the design.
As Cadillac's all-new electric large SUV, the VISTIQ is expected to be longer than the IQ. The tail also adopts a family-style design style, the tail light group is particularly unique, the overall split design, the upper layer is located on both sides of the rear windshield in the shape of "L", and the lower layer is longitudinally distributed on both sides of the tailgate, which has a high visual impact and recognition after lighting. In addition, the multi-layered nested trim and large spoiler at the rear further add to the sporty feel, adding a touch of dynamism and style to the rear.
As for the interior, judging from the previously released spy photos, VISTIQ is expected to inherit the design of IQ Ruige, including a family-oriented curved one-piece large screen and luxury covering materials. In addition, the new car may also add a touch panel to control the air conditioning system, for example. In addition, the air conditioning vents in the passenger seat may also be designed through-type. The interior of the car adopts a three-row seating layout, which is expected to be a 6 or 7-seat configuration, plus an intelligent virtual cockpit and high-tech configuration, the overall performance is worth looking forward to.
In terms of power, the VISTIQ will be equipped with a GM Ultium battery and a GM Ultium motor, and is expected to use a dual-motor system with a maximum power of about 500 horsepower and a peak torque of 450 Nm. Unfortunately, the cruising range may be slightly reduced due to the increase in body size, and the specific cruising range has yet to be officially announced.
According to foreign media estimates, the future price of this VISTIQ is expected to be around 43-550,000 yuan, and the overall positioning is high. In the face of the continuous increase in the penetration rate of the domestic new energy vehicle market, VISTIQ will most likely not be absent from the Chinese market, and if it can achieve localized production in the future, it is expected to become the flagship product of the Cadillac brand electric SUV family in China. Referring to the naming strategy of "Aoge" and "Ruige", it is likely that the name of "X Song" will also be adopted in the future.
