2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQ

The Escalade IQ is Cadillac's all-electric flagship SUV. Though it shares its name with the internal-combustion-powered top-dog Caddy, the Escalade IQ is mechanically unrelated, instead sharing its underpinnings with the GMC Hummer EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV. But like its non-EV namesake, the Escalade IQ is a full-size three-row SUV loaded with luxury and tech features. Where they differ most is in the IQ's dual-motor electric powertrain, which makes up to a whopping 750 horsepower and propels the massive SUV to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, according to Cadillac. Equally impressive is the IQ's range, which the automaker estimates at 460 miles (provided you're easy on the throttle).

Unless you need massaging seats and 24-inch wheels, the base Sport and Luxury trims should more than suffice, and with the smaller 22-inch wheels, they'll offer superior ride quality. Both come with numerous standard tech and convenience features, and while stepping up to the Premium versions does add a noticeable complement of amenities, the substantial price jump makes the base Escalade IQ trims seem like a better value.
