Cadillac has pulled back the curtains on the 2025 ESCALADE IQ, a groundbreaking all-electric reinvention of its iconic luxury SUV. Promising a segment-leading 450 miles of range, futuristic pillar-to-pillar displays, hands-free Super Cruise, and next-gen technologies, the ESCALADE IQ propels the Escalade into an electrified future.
Underpinned by GM’s modular Ultium EV platform and powered by a 200kWh battery pack, the ESCALADE IQ unlocks 750HP for sub-5-second 0-60mph runs. Fast 800V charging enables adding 100 miles in just 10 minutes. Further stretching range are innovations like the industry’s most aerodynamic full-size SUV shape ever and advanced heat pump climate systems.
The reimagined EV architecture also enables bolder, more expressive styling with a stronger road presence. Trademark vertical lighting signatures front and rear frame the lowered, sweeping silhouette. Trims range from the sleek Luxury to the darker Sport with optional two-tone black roofs.
Inside, the ESCALADE IQ debuts a curved 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display, 40-speaker AKG audio, executive second row seating, and hands-free Super Cruise now standard. Wireless charging, USB-C ports, 12.6-inch screens and tray tables pamper passengers.
Production begins this summer 2024 at the all-new Factory ZERO Detroit plant, GM’s dedicated EV manufacturing hub. Pricing starts around $130,000 when deliveries may commence in late 2024.
