Cadillac continues to expand the segment-leading Escalade lineup with the introduction of the all-electric 2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQL. The ESCALADE IQL features the best of the ESCALADE IQ, plus additional passenger and cargo capacity to meet the lifestyle needs of customers who require extra space.

ESCALADE IQL will be sold globally, including in the US and Canada, with production starting in mid-2025 at General Motors’ Factory ZERO plant in Detroit.

On the exterior, the ESCALADE IQL features a longer silhouette than that found on the ESCALADE IQ. This longer silhouette enables enhanced spaciousness in the third-row and additional rear storage. The large eTrunk compartment under the hood offers an additional 12.2 cubic feet of secure storage.

The interior continues the tech-forward and luxurious accommodations found in the ESCALADE IQ, including an available Executive Second Row package. The Executive Second Row package blends beauty with task-oriented functionality featuring stowable tray tables, 12.6-inch-diagonal personal screens, a rear command center, dual wireless phone charging pads and massaging, heating, and ventilated seats, which also offer 14-way power adjustment and headrest speakers. Elevating the spaciousness of the vehicle, the 3^rd row benefits from more than 4 inches of additional legroom (36.7" vs. 32.3"), and an additional inch of headroom (38.2" vs. 37.2") contributing to more comfortable seating throughout the cabin.

The Escalade IQL also comes equipped with vehicle-to-home (V2H) bidirectional charging capabilities, which when paired with the GM Energy V2H Bundle, allows for the transfer of energy between the vehicle and a properly equipped home during times of need.

ESCALADE IQL delivers up to a Cadillac-estimated 460 miles of range and when it comes time to charge, customers can expect up to 116 miles of range in 10 minutes at a public DC Fast Charging Station. The 24-module GM battery serves as the foundation of both ESCALADE IQ and IQL, producing 205 kWh.

Features of the ESCALADE IQL include:

• 750 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque (with driver-selectable Velocity Max10, Cadillac estimate)

• 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds (with driver-selectable Velocity Max10, Cadillac estimate)

• A Cadillac-estimated max towing capacity of 7500 lbs

• Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and Air Ride Adaptive suspension isolate passengers from undesirable road surfaces while providing precise steering and feel

• Independent front and rear suspension

• 24-inch wheels and 35-inch tires

• Suite of standard active safety and driver assistance features
