The American automaker Cadillac has introduced its first all-electric full-size SUV, the Escalade IQ. Cadillac confirms that mass production of the model will begin in the summer of 2025, marking a significant milestone in its electrified lineup.
At a length of 5697 mm, the Escalade IQ stands apart from traditional Escalade models with distinctive styling cues. The SUV features unique LED headlights, a redesigned front grille, and an illuminated Cadillac emblem, complemented by specially styled wheels. Inside, the cabin centers around a monumental 55-inch display that dominates the dashboard, paired with an 11-inch screen dedicated to climate control and vehicle settings, creating a modern, tech-forward experience for occupants.
Powering the Escalade IQ are two electric motors, one on each axle, delivering a combined output of 750 horsepower. This setup enables a rapid dash from zero to 60 mph in roughly five seconds, with an estimated driving range of up to 450 kilometers on a full charge, depending on conditions and configuration. The engineering aims to balance performance with the luxury and comfort expected from Cadillac, while offering practical daily usability for long trips and urban driving alike.
Pricing for the Escalade IQ starts around 130,000 dollars, placing it in a premium segment of the electric SUV market and aligning with the vehicle’s high-end features, materials, and technology package. This positioning reflects Cadillac’s intent to attract luxury buyers who seek extended-range electric capability without compromising on size, presence, and comfort.
