Cadillac Arabia has announced their entry into the electric vehicle segment. Pioneering a new era, Cadillac has masterfully transformed its iconic SUV, Escalade, into an all-electric model. The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is an unprecedented fusion of luxury and innovation in the realm of full-size SUVs.

Do you know the estimated range of this SUV is over 700 kilometers? Moreover, this all-electric SUV will offer a new interior and exterior design, driver-assistive technology, and zero tailpipe emission. 

INTRODUCING THE CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ 2025 – FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

As the first electric SUV in the Cadillac Escalade’s history, the craftsmanship, innovation, and engineering have raised the standards of the 2025 Escalade IQ. Although Cadillac has been part of GM-owned brands for decades, Escalade IQ is the first-ever Cadillac SUV built on General Motors’ platform.

Let’s give a detailed look at the 2025 Escalade IQ and how it is taking automotive design and engineering to the next level.

CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ 2025 PERFORMANCE

A 24-module Ultium battery powers the all-new Escalade. Producing more than 200 kWh of power, it can charge from an 800-volt DC charger. Speaking of that, the powerful battery pack allows 160 kilometers after 10 minutes of charging. The EV battery provides power of 750 hp and 1065 N-m torque.

ESCALADE IQ 2025 PERFORMANCE

The SUV features independent front and rear suspensions, ensuring smooth running of eAWD (electronic all-wheel drive). It boasts a set of modern technologies, such as Adaptive Air Suspension technology and Magnetic Ride Control version 4.0. Moreover, the four-steer wheel enhances handling, manoeuvrability, handling and turning.

Cadillac Arrival Mode is a four-wheel steering system that allows you to move the car diagonally. This feature helps get the SUV out of tight parking spaces conveniently. However, it works at low speeds only.

CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ 2025 EXTERIOR

The design ethos of Escalade IQ is similar to its predecessors. However, its EV architecture enabled a bolder and sleeker exterior appearance. The innovative design of the Escalade IQ redefines its visual dynamics. From seamlessly extending the wheels to the corners and an elongated hood to a rearward-sloping roofline, every element synergistically contributes to its sporty elegance.

Additional exterior features include the following:

Escalade IQ 2025 boasts an improved aerodynamic design
  • Front daytime running light blades and vertically-oriented high and low beams
  • Large trunk compartment under the hood with 340-liter storage
  • 24-inch wheels and 35-inch tires

Escalade Luxury trim features an aluminium metallic finish, whereas the Sport trim boasts a dark metallic finish. Also, the buyers can choose a two-tone appearance with a black-painted roof

CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ 2025 AERODYNAMICS

The all-new Escalade IQ comes with improved aerodynamics. That said, the drag coefficient is lower than the previous generations of Escalade. With the sleek and trailing edge of Cadillac’s iconic tail lights, the Escalade IQ boasts a crafted underbody that ensures seamless airflow.

Additionally, intelligent car grille shutters regulate airflow, intuitively closing when surplus cooling is unnecessary. Notably, the design profile of the wheels has been ingeniously refined to contribute to the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency.

CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ 2025 INTERIOR

The interior presents a sense of sophistication with modern features befitting its sporty and sleek exterior. The interior is spacious due to the lower profile. Cadillac Escalade IQ is the definition of ultimate luxury and innovation with exceptional features, including a total of 55-inch LED screens, a flexible 7-seat capacity with a power-folding third row and a panoramic sunroof.

Customisable ambient lighting with 126 colours and seamless integration of bold interior themes further enhanced the interior. Besides, with dedicated rear seat screens and an advanced digital cockpit, your journey has enhanced comfort and sophistication levels.
