On the highway, an advanced cruise control monitors traffic ahead and automatically adjusts the cars’ speed to maintain a safe following distance. When the obstruction clears, the Vizon resumes its set cruising speed.

As the driver approaches the vehicle, a system called EZ Key identifies the owner through a chip embedded in the key fob; the car unlocks itself and sets seating and and mirrors to the drivers position. As the engine starts, a sliding cover on the instrument panel opens to reveal a reconfigurable three-panel display, which allows the driver to choose how and where the data about the car is displayed. On the road, the latest version of the OnStar Virtual Advisor offers turn-by-turn navigation through a speaker phone.

The Vizón unites the best qualities of several kinds of vehicles. It combines the functionality of a utility vehicle with the aesthetics, performance and comfort of a world-class sedan or wagon. It’s a powerful, surefooted vehicle that surrounds the driver in modern luxury, style and connectivity. Like the Cien, it has clean, sheer and sharp surfaces that pay homage to Cadillac’s tradition of breakthrough designs and technologies. The interior offers a calm, clean, pure environment, with DVD entertainment, leather seating and an instrument panel inspired by Bulgari jewelers. An electronically operated liftgate rises to expose a practical rear storage area. The load floor in the rear also lifts to form a shelf or to reveal additional storage. The Vizón also features a 4.3-liter V8 Northstar engine, Night Vision, OnStar Virtual Advisor, adaptive cruise control and StabiliTrak traction control.
