If the Cadillac Optiq is a bit on the small side for our mental maps of what a Caddy should look like, then the Vistiq is bang in the centre of how we view a big, American SUV - it’s not quite as massive as a hulking great Escalade, but the Vistiq is a direct competitor for the likes of the BMW X7 and the Volvo EX90. And it looks great, frankly. You can easily imagine a team of secret service agents (up to seven of them) tumbling out of one of these on a mission, and that’s exactly the kind of Hollywood action hero glamour that Cadillac will be hoping to trade on in Ireland.
