From compact crossovers to full-size SUVs, Cadillac’s 2026 electric portfolio offers options for every lifestyle while delivering the confidence to travel across the province without compromise.

The shift to electric driving doesn’t mean sacrificing capability or comfort.

Whether you’re commuting through the city, heading to the cottage, or embarking on a cross-province road trip, understanding which Cadillac EV offers the range you need helps you make an informed decision about your next vehicle.

The Range Leader: 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL

Beyond its extensive range, the Escalade IQL offers dual-motor eAWD producing 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 96 km/h in under five seconds.

Close Behind: 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ

The standard-wheelbase 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ offers comparable range to its IQL sibling in a slightly more compact package. This full-size luxury SUV shares the same powerful dual-motor eAWD system and advanced Ultium battery technology, making it a strong choice for drivers who want maximum range without the extended wheelbase.

The Escalade IQ features Four-Wheel Steer as standard equipment, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces while maintaining stability at highway speeds. Inside, the 55-inch pillar-to-pillar curved display creates a commanding digital environment, while the available 38-speaker AKG Studio audio system delivers concert-hall acoustics. With 668 litres of cargo space behind the third row and up to 3,373 litres with seats folded, the IQ pairs range with versatility.

Mid-Range Excellence: 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ

The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ offers a strong balance of range and performance in a sophisticated mid-size luxury crossover. The rear-wheel-drive configuration delivers 525 kilometres of range from its 102-kWh battery pack, while the all-wheel-drive variant provides 513 kilometres with enhanced traction and 515 horsepower.

The LYRIQ’s 33-inch 9K curved display flows cleanly into the interior design, while the available 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system creates an immersive listening environment. DC fast charging at up to 190 kW adds 120 to 138 kilometres of range in just 10 minutes, making it practical for longer journeys. With 793 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats and 1,722 litres maximum, the LYRIQ accommodates both daily errands and weekend getaways with ease.

LYRIQ Range Comparison:

Configuration	Range	Power Output
RWD	525 km	340 hp, 325 lb-ft
AWD	513 km	515 hp, 450 lb-ft

Compact Efficiency: 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ

The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ brings extensive range to Cadillac’s compact luxury crossover segment. The rear-wheel-drive model achieves 510 kilometres of range from its 85-kWh battery pack, while the all-wheel-drive configuration delivers 488 kilometres with 440 horsepower and enhanced traction for Manitoba winters.

Despite its compact dimensions, the OPTIQ offers 744 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats and 1,603 litres with seats folded. The available 19.2-kW Level 2 charging on Premium trims provides convenient overnight charging, while rapid DC fast charging adds range quickly when you need a top-up. Starting at $60,825, the OPTIQ makes Cadillac’s electric technology accessible without compromising on range or luxury.

Three-Row Capability: 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ

The 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ offers 483 to 491 kilometres of range in a three-row luxury SUV configuration. While its range is more modest than the Escalade models, the VISTIQ delivers strong performance with standard dual-motor AWD producing 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0 to 96 km/h in 3.7 seconds with Velocity Max engaged.

The VISTIQ’s 102-kWh battery pack supports 19.2-kW AC charging that adds up to 75 kilometres of range per hour, making overnight charging highly efficient. DC fast charging adds up to 128 kilometres in 10 minutes, or charges from 10 percent to 80 percent in approximately 45 minutes. With three rows of seating, 431 litres of cargo space behind the third row, and 2,272 litres maximum, the VISTIQ serves families who need seating capacity alongside solid range.

Charging Infrastructure and Technology

All Cadillac electric vehicles benefit from advanced charging technology that makes range management simple. The 800-volt architecture in the Escalade IQ and IQL enables some of the fastest charging speeds available, while the LYRIQ, OPTIQ, and VISTIQ feature efficient 400-volt systems with robust DC fast charging capabilities.

Super Cruise hands-free driving technology comes standard or available across the lineup, with access to over 640,000 kilometres of compatible highways across Canada. This advanced driver assistance system reduces fatigue on long journeys while features like Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand make highway driving more relaxed. Every Cadillac EV also includes an eight-year, 160,000-kilometre battery warranty, providing long-term confidence in your investment.

Choosing the Right Range for Your Needs

Selecting the ideal Cadillac electric vehicle depends on your typical driving patterns and range requirements. Drivers who frequently travel long distances across Manitoba will appreciate the 740-kilometre range of the Escalade IQL, while those with shorter daily commutes may find the OPTIQ’s 510 kilometres ideal. The LYRIQ’s 525-kilometre range offers versatility for both daily driving and weekend trips, making it a popular choice for drivers who want balanced capability.

Consider your access to charging infrastructure when evaluating range. If you have reliable home charging and access to DC fast charging along your regular routes, even the VISTIQ’s 483-kilometre range provides ample capability for most driving scenarios. The key is matching the vehicle’s range to your lifestyle rather than simply choosing the maximum available.
