General Motors, through its luxury brand, officially revealed on Tuesday the highly-awaited 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ in New York. Notably, this new Caddilac large SUV is an electric version of the iconic Escalade model.
2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ details
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ will follow the launch of the brand’s maiden EV Cadillac Lyriq and its ultra-luxury flagship model Cadillac Celestiq. It somehow reflects the appearance of the original Escalade from 25 years ago but with a sleeker design.
However, it now sports an enormous battery pack. That said, the company designed it to have a wider body with a flatter and lower floor to perfectly integrate the battery. It also features a more extended hood, sloping roof, and large wheels to enable a sportier appearance than its predecessor.
The model will also utilize its parent company’s popular Ultium battery platform with an output of 200 kWh. Cadillac claims that the new Escalade IQ EV can get an additional driving range of 100 miles in just 10 minutes by using an 800v DC fast charger.
Remarkably, the new all-electric version of the Cadillac Escalade will have a 450-mile estimated driving range. That said, it is set to be GM’s longest-range EV offering to date.
It provides a maximum output of 750 horsepower when “Volocity Max” is activated. It also offers multiple safety and convenience technologies like the company’s Super Cruise autonomous driving software and audio system.
In addition, the new Escalade IQ EV has a 55″ LED screen throughout its dashboard. It also allows owners to customize interior lighting with 126 color options. Moreover, it supports dual wireless charging.
