Cadillac Escalade IQ: The Future of Luxury Electric SUVs

Introduction

The Cadillac Escalade has been the quintessential American SUV in the region since its launch in 1999. Over the years, the Escalade has evolved, becoming increasingly hi-tech and spacious. Now, it has gone electric—meet the Escalade IQ.

Performance and Range

The big headline is the impressive 700 Km range of the electric SUV, made possible by General Motors' EV-specific Ultium platform. This high-voltage architecture enables 800-volt DC fast charging and offers more than 200 kWh of available energy.

Power and Acceleration

The Escalade IQ’s dual motor setup delivers an astounding 750 horsepower and 1064 Nm of torque, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds.

Interior Features

Inside the Escalade IQ, you will find a massive 55-inch touchscreen that operates on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 12 Cockpit Platform, utilizing the company’s 5G modem for seamless connectivity. The touchscreen includes:

• In-built Google Maps
• Voice assistance
• Charging station information
• Google Play app support

Optional Extras

Optional features include:

• Stowable tray tables
• 12.6-inch diagonal personal screens
• Rear command center screen

• Headrest speakers

A standard 19-speaker sound system is available, but for audiophiles, a 40-speaker AKG Studio Reference audio system is also an option.

Innovative Technologies

The Escalade IQ features unique parking assistance technology known as Cadillac Arrival Mode. This system utilizes the car’s four-wheel steer to move diagonally, simplifying parking in tight spaces. Additionally, this electric SUV can act as a portable power generator, providing power to external appliances and devices.
