Cadillac Vistiq vs Volvo EX90: Which Luxury Electric SUV is Right for You?
The electric SUV market continues to grow, and Canadian drivers now have access to more luxury options than ever before. Two of the most exciting newcomers are the Cadillac Vistiq and Volvo EX90, both offering bold design, three-row seating, advanced technology, and impressive all-electric performance. While they share similarities, each model takes its own approach to luxury, safety, and driving experience. Let’s take a closer look at how these SUVs compare and see which might be the best fit for your lifestyle in Canada.
Performance and Range
Range is one of the most important considerations for EV shoppers, and both Cadillac and Volvo deliver impressive numbers. The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq offers up to 491 km of range on a full charge, making it well-suited for long drives across British Columbia and beyond. Its standard dual-motor all-wheel drive system produces an estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong acceleration and confident handling in all conditions.
The Volvo EX90 edges slightly ahead on range with up to 499 km on a charge and benefits from fast-charging capability that can bring the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes. Its output of up to 510 horsepower provides plenty of strength, with a 0–100 km/h time of just 4.9 seconds. Cadillac leans toward higher horsepower, while Volvo focuses on efficiency and fast-charging speed.
Interior Comfort and Seating
Inside, both SUVs provide seating for seven passengers, with each brand focusing on comfort and flexibility. The Cadillac Vistiq offers standard heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, with available heated captain’s chairs in the second row. A dual-pane sunroof with fixed third-row glass ensures every passenger enjoys a clear view, while premium details like a 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system with Dolby Atmos capability make every drive feel immersive. The Cadillac gives you highly comfortable 2,271 litres of maximum cargo capacity that is more than enough.
Volvo, on the other hand, brings Scandinavian refinement to the EX90 with ergonomic seating, available massage functions, and eight-way power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support. The second-row seats slide and recline individually, while the third row can accommodate two adults comfortably with USB-C ports and cupholders. Cargo versatility also shines in the EX90, offering up to 2,135 litres of capacity with all rear seats folded flat, making it one of the most practical luxury EVs available, both the SUVs provide good comfort but Cadillac edges ahead in the cargo capacity department.
Technology and Connectivity
Technology is a strong suit for both models, with Cadillac equipping the Vistiq with Google built-in, allowing drivers to access navigation, traffic updates, music, and even smart home integration through a sweeping 33-inch diagonal LED display. The exterior also stands out with choreographed LED lighting that creates a dynamic welcome sequence every time you approach.
The Volvo EX90 also integrates Google built-in and supports over-the-air updates, 5G connectivity, and wireless Apple CarPlay. At the centre of its cabin is a 14.5-inch display, paired with advanced audio options such as a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity sound system with Dolby Atmos. Both SUVs deliver cutting-edge technology, but Cadillac focuses on bold design which wins the favor of modern electric features.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is central to both brands’ identities. Cadillac equips the Vistiq with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assist features as part of its commitment to a zero-crash future with a surround view HD camera. Volvo takes this further with an advanced safety ecosystem that uses radars and cameras to monitor both inside and outside the vehicle. Features include BLIS, run-off road mitigation, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, and intersection auto-brake. Both SUVs are built to give Canadian families confidence on every drive.
Exterior Style and Road Presence
When it comes to design, Cadillac leans into boldness with sport accents, Obsidian Chrome details, 21-inch Diamond Cut wheels, and a sleek, choreographed light show that makes every arrival feel like an event. Volvo, on the other hand, takes a minimalist approach with clean Scandinavian lines, premium materials, and functional design that highlights versatility. Choosing between the two may come down to whether you prefer Cadillac’s dramatic flair or Volvo’s understated elegance.
