Two more factory-built right-hand drive pure-electric Cadillacs have been confirmed for the New Zealand market, flanking the just-launched Lyriq.
Optiq is a small SUV described as the "entry point to the Cadillac electric range", although it's more medium-sized in a Kiwi context: 4820mm long (200mm more than a Toyota RAV4). It's also far from entry-level in performance, with dual motors making 224kW/480Nm.
Vistiq sits on the other side of Lyriq (which is 4996mm long, for reference): a three-row SUV that "unlocks luxurious electric motoring for larger families," according to the company.
The Vistiq is 5222mm long and features a standard dual motor all-wheel drive system with chassis damping control and "available" (suggesting it might be an option) Air Ride Adaptive suspension. The company has not yet revealed power outputs for its new Kiwi flagship.
Both new models are set to launch here in 2026, with details on pricing and specification to follow.
