2026 Cadillac Vistiq2027 Ferrari Luce

Safety

The Luce has standard post collision braking, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Vistiq doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

The Ferrari Luce’s 360 degree parking monitor is equipped with washers for its front and rear cameras, ensuring crystal-clear visibility in any weather condition. Conversely, the Cadillac Vistiq only offers a rear camera washer, which may not provide the same level of all-weather performance.

Both the Luce and the Vistiq have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front seat center airbag, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all-wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Warranty

The Luce comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Vistiq’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Luce for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Cadillac only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the Vistiq.

Engine

The Luce’s electric motors produces 420 more horsepower (1035 vs. 615) and 80 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 650) than the Vistiq’s electric motors.

Fuel Economy and Range

The Luce has a standard locking charge port, which locks and unlocks with the power locks. The Vistiq doesn’t have a locking charge port. A locking charge port prevents tampering and damage.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Luce’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the Vistiq:

Luce

Vistiq

Front Rotors

15.4 inches

13.5 inches

Rear Rotors

14.6 inches

13.6 inches

The Luce has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Vistiq doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction and acceleration, the Luce has larger rear tires than the Vistiq (315/30R24 vs. 285/45R21). The Luce’s rear tires are larger than the largest rear tires available on the Vistiq (315/30R24 vs. 305/35R23).

The Luce’s 265/35R23 front and 315/30R24 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Vistiq’s standard 45 series tires. The Luce’s tires are lower profile than the Vistiq’s optional 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Luce has standard 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. Smaller 21-inch wheels are standard on the Vistiq. The Vistiq’s largest wheels are only 23-inches.

Suspension and Handling

The Luce offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Cadillac doesn’t offer an active suspension on the Vistiq.

For better maneuverability, the Luce’s turning circle is 1.4 feet tighter than the Vistiq Premium Luxury/Platinum’s (36.8 feet vs. 38.2 feet). The Luce’s turning circle is 4.2 feet tighter than the Vistiq’s (36.8 feet vs. 41 feet).

Chassis

The Ferrari Luce may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1350 pounds less than the Cadillac Vistiq.

The Luce is 7.8 inches shorter than the Vistiq, making the Luce easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Luce is 10.2 inches shorter in height than the Vistiq, making the Luce much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

The design of the Ferrari Luce amounts to more than styling. The Luce has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .254 Cd. That is significantly lower than the Vistiq (.29) and many sports cars. A more efficient exterior helps keep the interior quieter and helps the Luce get better fuel mileage.

The front grille of the Luce uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Vistiq doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Cargo Capacity

The Luce has a much larger cargo volume than the Vistiq with its rear seat up (21.1 vs. 15.2 cubic feet).

A standard locking glovebox keeps your small valuables safer in the Luce. The Vistiq doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Ergonomics

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Luce to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The Vistiq doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

The Vistiq’s cornering lamps activate a lamp on the front corner when the turn signal is activated. The Luce’s standard adaptive cornering lights turn the actual headlight unit up to several degrees, depending on steering wheel angle and vehicle speed. This lights a significant distance into corners at any speed.

The Luce has standard front air conditioned seats and offers them optionally in the rear. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The Vistiq doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats for the second row.

Both the Luce and the Vistiq offer available massaging front seats. The Luce also offers optional massaging rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging second row seats aren’t available in the Vistiq.
