Cadillac has officially introduced the 2027 Cadillac Vistiq across the Middle East, giving luxury EV buyers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia access to the brand's newest flagship three-row electric SUV. Positioned between the Lyriq and Escalade IQ, the Vistiq combines premium luxury, powerful performance, and family-friendly practicality in one package.
The Cadillac Vistiq price in the UAE starts at AED 335,000, while customers in Saudi Arabia can purchase it from SAR 373,900. Converted to US currency, those figures are approximately $91,250 and $99,750, making the Vistiq one of Cadillac's most premium electric offerings outside North America.
Middle East launch confirmed: The 2027 Cadillac Vistiq is now available in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with prices starting from AED 335,000 and SAR 373,900, making it Cadillac's flagship three-row electric SUV in the region.
615-hp dual-motor performance: Every Middle East-spec Vistiq comes with dual electric motors, all-wheel drive, 615 hp, and 881 Nm of torque, sprinting from 0–96 km/h in just 3.7 seconds using Velocity Max mode.
Up to 482 km of driving range: A 102 kWh battery pack delivers up to 482 km of range, while 190 kW DC fast charging can add approximately 111 km in only 10 minutes.
Premium luxury meets family practicality: With seven seats, a 33-inch curved display, Super Cruise, 23-speaker AKG audio, and five-zone climate control, the Vistiq targets buyers looking for a high-end electric family SUV.
Priced above the US version: Although the Middle East pricing is higher than the US starting price, the difference reflects regional taxes, logistics, and equipment levels, rather than a simple price increase.
According to GM Authority, the Middle East lineup will be offered in Luxury, Sport, and Premium Luxury trims. Regardless of the variant, every Vistiq receives the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, ensuring buyers don't sacrifice performance for equipment.
The electric SUV produces an impressive 615 horsepower and 881 Nm (650 lb-ft) of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.7 seconds when Velocity Max mode is activated. Cadillac also confirms that every Middle East model offers seven-passenger seating along with a 482 km driving range based on the region's official testing cycle.
The 2027 Cadillac Vistiq is powered by a 102 kWh battery pack, balancing long-distance capability with quick charging performance.
Using a compatible 190 kW DC fast charger, the SUV can recover approximately 111 km of driving range in only 10 minutes, reducing downtime during long journeys. For home or workplace charging, the onboard 22 kW AC charger can replenish up to 75 km of range every hour, making overnight charging highly convenient for daily commuting.
Inside, Cadillac has designed the Vistiq to compete with the finest luxury electric SUVs in the segment. The cabin is centered around a stunning 33-inch curved LED display, complemented by five-zone automatic climate control and a premium 23-speaker AKG Studio sound system.
Comfort is equally impressive, with heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, while second-row outer passengers also benefit from heated seating. Folding the rear rows expands cargo capacity to an impressive 2,271 litres, making the Vistiq equally suited for family road trips and everyday practicality.
Every Middle East-spec Vistiq also comes equipped with Cadillac's Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance system and includes a three-year OnStar subscription as standard.
In the United States, the 2027 Cadillac Vistiq starts at $77,500 before destination charges, increasing to approximately $79,495 including mandatory delivery fees.
By comparison, the UAE starting price appears noticeably higher. However, this isn't simply a dealer markup. Regional pricing factors such as import duties, shipping costs, local taxes, homologation requirements, and higher standard equipment levels all contribute to the difference between Middle East and US pricing.
One notable difference between markets involves the charging hardware. North American versions of the 2027 Cadillac Vistiq have already transitioned to Tesla's NACS charging connector.
For the Middle East, Cadillac has confirmed charging performance figures but has not officially specified the connector type. Buyers planning international travel or vehicle imports should therefore confirm connector compatibility with their local Cadillac dealer before purchase.
Production for Middle East-bound Vistiq models takes place at General Motors' Spring Hill Assembly Plant in Tennessee, the same facility supplying North American customers. Meanwhile, Chinese-market versions are sold as the Cadillac Kayweide, produced locally through the SAIC-GM joint venture with market-specific specifications.
The arrival of the 2027 Cadillac Vistiq signals Cadillac's growing commitment to luxury electric mobility across the Gulf region. Combining 615 horsepower, three-row practicality, cutting-edge technology, and premium comfort, the Vistiq enters an increasingly competitive segment.
It will compete directly with premium electric SUVs such as the Volvo EX90, Rivian R1S, and Kia EV9, giving buyers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia another compelling option in the fast-growing luxury EV market.
As demand for premium electric SUVs continues to rise across the Middle East, the Cadillac Vistiq positions itself as a serious contender for families seeking flagship luxury, strong performance, and everyday practicality without compromising on electric efficiency.
