2025 CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ: 740KM RANGE, INSANE TECH & CYNTHIA’S PICK!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ represents a significant leap into the electric future for the iconic luxury SUV. Built on the Ultium platform, it boasts impressive performance figures, including 680 horsepower and a remarkable 460-mile (740 km) range, effectively eliminating range anxiety. The reviewer highlights its advanced technology, such as the expansive 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display, a 36-speaker AKG audio system, and convenient features like power doors and an e-trunk. While the interior offers luxurious comfort with heated, ventilated, and massaging seats, particularly in the executive package's second row, the third row is noted as adequate rather than exceptionally roomy. The reviewer praises its quiet and comfortable ride, enhanced by air suspension and four-wheel steering, which significantly aids maneuverability despite its size. The Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system is also a key highlight. A significant drawback mentioned is the high price point, starting at over $160,000, making it aspirational for most. The reviewer's wife, Cynthia, was particularly enamored with the vehicle, to the point of not wanting to return it, underscoring its strong appeal.
