:General Motors’ Cadillac brand formally unveiled its all-new 2025 Escalade IQ, a full-size electric SUV that is being pitched as a companion to the $340,000 Cadillac Celestiq ultra-luxury sedan that goes into production this winter.
Cadillac has not finalized a price on the Escalade IQ, which goes on sale in summer 2024 and will be built at GM’s “Factory Zero” in Detroit. It estimates a starting price of"around $130,000." The big SUV shares its IQ suffix with Cadillac’s emerging portfolio of all-electric offerings, including the Celestiq and the Lyriq as well as future models for which GM has trademarked the names Symboliq and Optiq.Escalade IQ will overlap with and eventually replace the combustion-engine Escalade.
The current Escalade is expected to be phased out of production in 2027, according to suppliers familiar with GM’s plans.
