Power, Prestige, and 460 Miles of Range: The Escalade IQ
Cadillac has redefined luxury yet again with the reveal of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ, the electric evolution of its iconic Escalade. Seamlessly blending cutting-edge electric vehicle technology with unparalleled luxury, the Escalade IQ is a remarkable addition to Cadillac's prestigious SUV lineup.
A New Era of Opulence
Positioned as the crown jewel of Cadillac’s expanding EV family, the Escalade IQ takes its place above the two-row Cadillac Lyriq and the upcoming three-row Cadillac Vistiq. It features a bold, forward-thinking design that nods to its heritage while forging a new path for the brand. With a starting price of $129,900, this SUV isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a statement.
Groundbreaking Design and Performance
The Escalade IQ introduces a clean-sheet design, moving away from its gas-powered predecessors' shared platforms with Chevrolet models. Built on the advanced architecture shared with the GMC Hummer EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV, the Escalade IQ is as futuristic in its engineering as it is in its appearance.
Sleek, Aerodynamic Styling
The Escalade IQ’s design is a masterpiece, characterized by a wind-swept silhouette and a sleek, italicized L-shaped motif ahead of the D-pillar—elements inspired by its EV siblings. Despite being an electrified version of a traditionally boxy SUV, it retains its commanding presence, with an extended length that adds a full foot over its gas-powered counterpart.
Unmatched Power and Range
The Escalade IQ delivers extraordinary performance with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing a jaw-dropping 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max drive mode. Powered by an Ultium 24-module battery pack, this EV boasts a GM-estimated range of 460 miles, ensuring you can embark on long journeys with confidence. Thanks to its 800-volt DC fast-charging capability, the Escalade IQ can add 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes—perfect for those on the go.
