Cadillac’s iconic full-size luxury SUV has embraced green technology with the first-ever 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ. This fully electric full-size SUV has all the same bells and whistles as the original Escalade but swaps a traditional gas-powered engine for an innovative dual-motor electric powertrain. Learn everything there is to know about this all-new model before you visit your Cadillac dealer.
Introducing the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ: Innovation Unleashed
Cadillac estimates that the fully electric driving range for the Escalade IQ is roughly 460 miles when the electric powertrain is fully charged, easily giving this luxurious EV the longest driving range of any EV SUV on the market. The dual electric motor has an AWD drivetrain that ensures smooth and stable handling in all driving environments.
The Escalade IQ Luxury 1 model comes with electronic stability control with traction control via StabiliTrak, which uses software to enhance braking power, torque, and overall vehicle control to assist with handling during emergency driving maneuvers. The standard Cadillac Arrival Mode functions when the vehicle is driving below 25 MPH and is designed to improve maneuverability for diagonal driving and parking.
Appearance
The entry-level Luxury 1 trim is extremely stylish inside and out. The interior trim options are Backen Black/Santorini or Sheer/Dark Medium Cinder Gray. The exterior paint color options are Flare Metallic, Black Cherry Tintcoat, Deep Space Metallic, Black Raven, Summit White, and Midnight Steel Frost. Each of these color options is also available with a Black roof for a sportier appearance.
Drivers can also choose between three wheel designs for a customized aesthetic. The wheel designs are seven tri-spoke Deep Night Metallic alloy wheels, seven-spoke alloy wheels with High Gloss Black pockets, or seven-spoke alloy wheels with High Gloss Black pockets and Chrome inserts.
Advanced Driver Assistance
All Escalade IQ models are equipped with hands-free driving technology via Super Cruise for the first three years of ownership, after which drivers will need to opt into the OnStar Super Cruise plan. The Super Cruise software works by enabling hands-free driving on specific roads so that your EV SUV can stay centered in your lane and adjust to traffic speed without your hands on the wheel.
This model also comes with Enhanced Automatic Braking, a system that reduces the severity of collisions by enhancing brake power when an imminent collision with the vehicle ahead of you is detected. This EV SUV also comes with automatic braking assistance when collisions with front pedestrians or bicyclists are detected.
The Cadillac IQ makes a striking first impression with unique appearance details, tons of driver-assistance technology, and an industry-leading fully electric driving range that’s perfect for planning long road trips.
