Cadillac Unveils All-Electric 2025 Cadillac ESCALADE IQ With Estimated 450 miles of Range

GM's Cadillac brand has unveiled the all-electric 2025 ESCALADE IQ offering an estimated 450 miles of range. It’s the first full-size SUV from Cadillac built on GM’s modular EV propulsion architecture, the Ultium Platform, and incorporates GM’s Ultifi software platform to support and deliver ongoing software updates.

The new model will have Super Cruise as a standard feature.

Super Cruise is a hands-free driver assistance technology that enables drivers to travel hands-free on more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads in the US and Canada.

ESCALADE IQ will also be equipped with Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) bidirectional charging technology with GM Energy’s available Ultium Home products, providing customers with the ability to send power directly from the vehicle to a properly equipped home.

It will also offer the option of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) offboard power, allowing the vehicle to power external devices.

Production of the ESCALADE IQ will begin in summer 2024 at GM’s Factory ZERO Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center in Michigan, with domestic and globally sourced components.

John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac, says: “ESCALADE IQ raises the standard just as the original Escalade redefined luxury a quarter-century ago. This reimagining of an icon marks the next step in Cadillac’s all-electric future.For more than 120 years, Cadillac’s bold innovative spirit has defined American luxury. The ESCALADE IQ embodies this spirit in the most sophisticated form.”

“ESCALADE IQ is first and foremost a Cadillac and delivers on a promise of innovative design supported by spirited performance and cutting-edge technologies,” adds Jamie Brewer, executive chief engineer, ESCALADE IQ. “The EV-specific architecture allows us to deliver a driving experience aligned with Cadillac’s philosophy of isolated precision — quiet, smooth and effortless with a strong connection to the road for an engaging experience.”

“Escalade has always been about being bold, so that’s what we set out to accomplish,” comments Mandi Damman, chief engineer, ESCALADE IQ. “ESCALADE IQ is what you get when you follow your soul instead of the crowd.”

GM's Factory ZERO was renovated and retooled with a $2.2 billion investment to serve as the launchpad for GM’s EV strategy.
