General Motors has taken its iconic luxury SUV into the electric era with the debut of the Cadillac Escalade IQ, redefining American SUV luxury with cutting-edge performance, technology, and comfort.
The Escalade IQ combines bold design with electrified power, offering a Cadillac-estimated 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max mode. This allows the electric SUV to sprint from 0–60 mph in under 5 seconds, while delivering an impressive 460 miles of driving range on a full charge.
Inside, the Escalade IQ elevates passenger comfort to business-class levels. A sweeping 55-inch pillar-to-pillar LED display, heated, cooled, and massaging seats, and Executive Second Row Seating with reclining chairs, tray tables, and individual 12.6-inch displays create a luxury experience rivaling private jets. A rear command center lets second-row passengers control climate, seating, and entertainment features.
Driving dynamics are enhanced with four-wheel steering, Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, and Adaptive Air Ride Suspension, making the Escalade IQ both nimble in tight spaces and serene on highways. The SUV also features Super Cruise, Cadillac’s hands-free driver assistance system, for added convenience on compatible roads.
“The Escalade has always been an American icon. With the Escalade IQ, we’ve taken that legend into the future of electrification—delivering thrilling performance, unmatched luxury, and sustainable driving,” said Bob Sorokanich, Senior Editor at GM News.
The launch underscores GM’s strategy to expand its premium EV portfolio, positioning the Escalade IQ as a flagship in Cadillac’s transition to an all-electric future.
