NEW YORK — Cadillac is electrifying the Escalade full-size SUV, giving its best-known nameplate a jolt of new energy, design and capability as the luxury brand moves to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles.
GM and Cadillac leaders say the electric Escalade will share space on dealership lots with internal combustion-powered Escalades, giving consumers choices as they adopt EVs at different rates. The Escalade IQ is just over four inches wider and a foot longer than the standard Escalade. Buyers can choose from two versions, Sport and Luxury, each of which comes in two trim levels, Cadillac said. Every trim level comes standard with GM's Super Cruise hands-free driver-assist technology and three years of the OnStar Super Cruise plan.
"There's nothing quite as exhilarating for an engineer or a designer to have the creative freedom that we had on Escalade IQ," said Mandi Damman, the Escalade IQ's chief engineer. Aerodynamic design features contribute to a drag coefficient about 15 per cent lower than previous generations of the Escalade and enable its estimated 724-km range, Damman said.
