YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Cadillac Escalade IQ is the all-electric version of the iconic Escalade, representing a bold new design direction for Cadillac. This top-of-the-line electric SUV is built on the same GM Ultium platform as the Hummer EV, giving it a massive 750 horsepower and nearly 800 pound-feet of torque in its Velocity Max mode. It comes with an impressive Cadillac-estimated range of 460 miles on a single charge, with some testers reportedly achieving well over 550 miles. The interior is defined by a fresh, modern aesthetic, centered around a stunning pillar-to-pillar 55-inch screen that redefines the driver and passenger experience. This advanced technology also includes Super Cruise hands-free driving and a voice control system with Google built-in, replacing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Escalade IQ is full of clever party tricks and functions designed for both luxury and capability. The CrabWalk mode, a feature shared with the Hummer EV, allows the vehicle to drive sideways, greatly enhancing maneuverability. A touch-sensitive badge on the rear opens the liftgate to a spacious cargo area, and the rear-seat entertainment system comes with AKG wireless headphones so kids can enjoy their own content. Delivering everything buyers have loved for decades—from generous seating for seven or eight passengers to unparalleled luxury and technology—the Escalade IQL proves that a hefty starting price of $130,000 might be worth it for all the fun and fancy it offers.
