Standing as the most powerful Escalade ever produced, the 2025 Escalade IQ boasts a jaw-dropping 750 horsepower and a remarkable 785 pound-feet (1065 Newton-Meter) of torque in its Velocity Max mode. Equipped with a dual-motor system, this SUV delivers a driving experience that's both exhilarating and refined.
Power is supplied by a 24-module nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum battery pack with a bit more than 200-kWh of storage and an estimated range of 450 miles (724 kilometers). It can handle 800-volt DC fast charging, so should be able to take advantage of higher charging rates from 350-kW charging stations. On AC power, it can charge up to 19.2 kW. It will also get vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-load charging to keep your home powered or your appliances powered when you're away from home.
Beyond its power, the Escalade IQ embraces with a spacious cabin adorned with modern features. The interior design is inspired by the super-luxury Celestiq and features a dual-screen setup that spans the dashboard, providing an expansive 55-inch display.
Safety remains a top priority, and the Escalade IQ is equipped with an array of advanced features, including GM's Super Cruise hands-free highway driving assist and a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies.
The 2025 Escalade IQ is slated to start production next summer at GM's Factory Zero in Detroit. It will be available in two basic variants, Luxury and Sport. The former will be distinguished by bright exterior trim, while the latter will have dark trim. Each will be roughly the same as far as equipment is concerned, and there will be a couple levels of features included. Full pricing hasn't been announced, but Cadillac did reveal that pricing will start around $130,000.
