THE EUROPEAN MIND CANNOT COMPREHEND THE ABSURD 2025 CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is presented as an "insane" and "over the top" electric SUV, embodying what the reviewer believes a Cadillac should be. The vehicle's sheer size, 24-inch wheels, and imposing design are highlighted as key features, with the reviewer expressing a fondness for its "middle finger to the EU" attitude. Positives include a remarkably spacious front trunk, a luxurious and tech-filled interior dominated by a 55-inch screen, comfortable seating with extensive massage functions, and impressive route planning capabilities. The reviewer praises the opulent interior materials and fit and finish. On the driving front, the Escalade IQ is described as a comfortable, quiet, and refined "boat" that excels in everyday cruising, aided by four-wheel steering. However, the lack of Apple CarPlay is noted as a significant miss. While acknowledging its size makes it challenging to maneuver in tight urban environments, the reviewer concludes that the electric powertrain is better suited to the Cadillac experience than the gasoline version, though it might lack the "excitement" of the Escalade V.
