The Cadillac Escalade IQ marks a big step forward for one of America’s most recognizable luxury SUVs. It keeps everything people love about the Escalade—size, comfort and confidence—but moves it into the electric era. With its sleek design, upscale cabin and dynamic performance, the Escalade IQ blends Cadillac style with forward-looking technology and efficiency. It’s still unmistakably Escalade, just quieter, cleaner and more connected to the road than ever before.
This isn’t just a redesign. It’s a redefinition of what luxury feels like. The Escalade IQ trades traditional power for a new kind of refinement, where smooth, silent acceleration replaces engine noise with ease. Its open interior and high-tech details create an experience that feels effortless yet indulgent. It’s the kind of vehicle that fits anywhere from South Metro’s suburban streets and I-70 west into the mountains to the one-way streets of downtown Denver without ever losing the presence and prestige that made the Escalade a statement piece in the first place.
Driver Assist and Technology
Inside the jet-like cockpit, the Escalade IQ surrounds the driver with tech. A massive 55-inch curved LED display spans the dash, providing a wide view of controls and driving information. Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free system comes standard, allowing automatic lane changes and highway cruising without requiring the driver to touch the wheel. Add in lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, and the drive feels smooth, steady and confident.
Passenger Comfort and Space
The Escalade IQ is built for comfort. With three full rows of seating and an optional second-row executive setup, there’s plenty of room for passengers to spread out. Climate controls are conveniently located in every row, and the AKG Studio Reference sound system, featuring 38 speakers and Dolby Atmos, delivers an immersive audio experience. It’s quiet, refined and feels like a true luxury SUV, just powered differently.
Performance and Handling
For its size, the Escalade IQ handles better than expected. Four-wheel steering provides a surprisingly tight turning radius, and adaptive forward lighting adjusts accordingly as the road conditions change. The power is impressive with up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, pushing this big SUV from 0 to 60 mph in around four and a half seconds. Big 24-inch wheels and a front “e-trunk” complete the mix of power and practicality.
Electric Power and Range
The Escalade IQ doesn’t just go electric, it goes far. Cadillac estimates range of up to 460 miles on a single charge, making it one of the longest-range full-size electric SUVs on the market. With an 800-volt system, it supports ultra-fast DC charging, allowing you to quickly add miles during road trips. It’s proof that luxury and long-distance capability can go hand-in-hand, even without a drop of gas.
The Escalade IQ proves electric doesn’t mean compromise. With its long range,fast-charging capability maneuverability and quiet power, this SUV keeps luxury front and center while leaving gas stations in the rearview mirror.
