Whether you’re navigating the morning school drop off or planning a cross-country family vacation, interior space is essential for many. At Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Topeka, we understand that your vehicle needs to be as versatile as your lifestyle.
For 2026, Cadillac has redefined the three-row SUV, offering choices from the iconic, gas-powered Escalade to the all-electric VISTIQ. Here is an extensive look at the Cadillac SUV lineup that offers 3rd row seating.
The Cadillac Escalade & Escalade ESV

The Cadillac Escalade isn’t just an SUV; it is a cultural icon that defines what it means to travel with authority. For 2026, this flagship remains the undisputed heavyweight of the luxury world, offering a commanding presence on roads that no other vehicle can replicate. Whether you choose the standard model or the extended-wheelbase ESV, you are investing in a vehicle that feels more like a private jet than a family vehicle.
- Seating Configuration: Available with second-row captain’s chairs (7 passengers) or a second-row bench (8 passengers).
- The ESV Advantage: The Escalade ESV adds 15 inches to the overall length. This translates to a massive 41.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, meaning you don’t have to choose between passengers and luggage.
- Performance: Powered by a standard 6.2L V8 (420 hp) or the legendary Supercharged V8 in the Escalade-V (682 hp). It also boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,100 lbs, perfect for hauling a boat or trailer when needed.
- Interior Tech: The 2026 model features a breathtaking 55-inch curved diagonal LED display that spans the entire dashboard, paired with an available 42-speaker AKG Studio Reference audio system for a literal concert-hall experience.
The Cadillac Escalade IQ & IQL

Step into the future without leaving the legacy behind. The Escalade IQ is the first-ever all-electric full-size SUV from Cadillac, engineered to provide quiet yet powerful performance. It represents a bold leap forward, proving that you can enjoy EV convenience of charging at home, without sacrificing the 3-row utility and executive-level prestige that you expect from Cadillac.
- Seating: Comfortably seats 7 passengers with executive-style second-row seating.
- Range & Performance: Offers a Cadillac-estimated 465 miles of range on a full charge. With Velocity Max mode, it can produce a staggering 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque.
- Innovative Storage: Since there is no engine under the hood, the Escalade IQ features an eTrunk™ (frunk) with 12.2 cubic feet of additional storage space.
- The IQL: Much like the gas-powered ESV, the Escalade IQL provides an extended wheelbase for even more third-row legroom and rear cargo volume.
The Cadillac VISTIQ

The 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ is the “sweet spot” of the 3-row lineup, designed for those who want the futuristic tech of an EV in a package that is perfectly sized for modern family life. It bridges the gap between the mid-size LYRIQ and the large Escalade IQ, offering a sophisticated, three-row electric experience that prioritizes passenger comfort and intuitive technology in every single seat. It is the sophisticated choice for families ready to transition to an electric vehicle.
- Seating: Seating for up to 7.
- Comfort for Every Row: The VISTIQ features ClimateSense™ 5-zone climate control, ensuring that third-row passengers have their own vents and temperature settings.
- Cargo Versatility: Even as a mid-size SUV, it offers up to 80.2 cubic feet of max cargo space.
- Technology: Comes standard with Super Cruise™ hands-free driver assistance technology and a 23-speaker AKG Studio audio system with Dolby Atmos for immersive sound.
