The all-electric ESCALADE IQL can travel up to 460 miles* on a full charge (Cadillac estimated). That’s a standout figure in the luxury EV space.

The average U.S. driver covers around 40 miles a day. That means most owners could go a full week or more without needing to recharge. It’s a practical advantage that enhances both convenience and peace of mind.

This range is also road trip ready. For example, 460 miles is enough to comfortably get you from:

• New York City to Washington, D.C.
• Chicago to St. Louis

Whether you’re heading to the airport with extended family or road-tripping across state lines, this EV SUV delivers confidence without compromise. And when it’s time to top up, ESCALADE IQL supports public DC fast charging—adding up to 116 miles of range* in about 10 minutes.

Executive Second-Row Seating Package

This available package transforms the second-row into a premium retreat. It features massaging, heated and ventilated captain’s chairs, dual 12.6-inch diagonal infotainment screens, two wireless phone charging pads,* stowable tray tables and a rear command center. Paired with a 42-speaker AKG* Studio Reference Audio System, including headrest speakers, it creates an in-cabin experience that rivals first-class air travel—ideal for long road trips, commuting in comfort or chauffeured transport.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

ESCALADE IQL is equipped with a comprehensive safety suite, including Adaptive Cruise Control,* Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking,* Blind Zone Steering Assist,* Rear Cross-Traffic Braking* and HD Surround Vision.* These features work together to help boost situational awareness and reduce driver workload, whether navigating tight parking lots or dense highway traffic.

4-Wheel Steer with Cadillac Arrival Mode* and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension

Despite the full-size SUV’s length, ESCALADE IQL feels nimble thanks to 4-Wheel Steer with Cadillac Arrival Mode,* which reduces the turning radius at low speeds and improves stability at higher speeds. Paired with Magnetic Ride Control and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, ESCALADE IQL delivers a smooth, confident ride—ideal for city driving, long-distance cruising and everything in between.

Together, these systems deliver capability, intuitive control and personalized luxury in every row.

2026 ESCALADE IQL combines full-size SUV capability with refined electric performance—delivering acceleration, towing strength and ride quality that is elevated beyond typical expectations for a large vehicle.

Power and Acceleration

With standard dual motor All-Wheel Drive, ESCALADE IQL produces 750 hp and 785 lb.-ft. of torque in Velocity Max (Cadillac estimated). That’s enough thrust to launch this full-size electric SUV from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds* (Cadillac estimated in Velocity Max).

Towing and Capability

Thanks to a robust electric platform and precise torque delivery, ESCALADE IQL can tow up to 7,500 lbs.*—ample for boats, trailers or weekend toys. This makes it a practical choice for drivers who want the benefits of electric power without giving up on hauling capability.

Ride and Suspension

ESCALADE IQL rides on a sophisticated chassis system that includes Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control, which delivers a smooth, composed ride that adapts to road conditions and driving style. Whether cruising long distances or navigating city streets, the suspension keeps the cabin balanced and serene—even with a full load of passengers and gear.

At low speeds, 4-Wheel Steer with Cadillac Arrival Mode* reduces the turning radius, helping to make parking and tight turns easier. At higher speeds, it enhances stability and confidence. This technology helps the 228.5-inch-long ESCALADE IQL feel far more maneuverable than its dimensions suggest—especially useful in urban environments or winding roads.

Altogether, ESCALADE IQL blends strength, precision and refinement to deliver the kind of driving experience expected from one of Cadillac’s most advanced SUVs to date.
