The Fully Electric 2024 Cadillac Escalade IQ Comes Out August 9

• An electric Cadillac Escalade is coming, and it'll be called Escalade IQ.
• Cadillac isn't saying much, but we'll get all the details on August 9th.
• This article has been updated to reflect the newest information we have on the 2024 Escalade IQ.

The much-rumored fully electric Cadillac Escalade is well on its way. Cadillac recently confirmed with a teaser image that the big new body-on-frame EV will be called the Escalade IQ. We also know that the all-electric Escalade will be revealed in full on August 9th of this year at 12 PM EST, so we don't have long to wait to see what an IQ'd up version of Cadillac's most iconic nameplate will look like and offer.

The teasers hint to what the Escalade IQ's front end will look like and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it closely mimics what we've seen from the Lyriq and Celestiq in terms of overall styling — expect slimmed-down headlights and Caddy's unique front-end lighting signature to be present on the Escalade IQ. We also get a look massive new wheels (with what appears to be an more aerodynamic design to help reduce drag and improve range), pictured below. There was only a peak at the interior, but it confirmed that the interior screen will be similar to what's in the gas-powered Escalade.

Beyond that, we don't know too much about the Escalade IQ aside from the obvious bits that we can glean from the gas-powered car. You can fully expect three rows, massive amounts of space inside, and a litany of leather, suede, wood and other luxurious materials. We also expect it to look slightly different, and Cadillac will like show off a design that's more in line with its other fully electric offerings, the Celestiq and Lyriq.

We also expect GM's Ultium battery tech to serve as this big SUV's underbody. A large battery will make up most of the floor, and there will be multiple power outputs, different trims with different range estimates (though we hope Cadillac can crack the 350-mile mark with a battery that's destined to be well over 150 kW), and multiple motor configurations. However, this is all still speculation. Luckily we know that we'll see the Escalade IQ sooner rather than later and won't have to wait long for details.

Edmunds says

We’ve known the Escalade IQ was coming for a while but expect there to be at least a few surprises when it finally gets its full reveal.
