Introducing the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL
The all-electric 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL expands the brand’s luxury SUV lineup with an extended body and increased cargo capacity. Built on GM’s Ultium platform, the vehicle combines electric performance with the premium features expected from the Escalade name.
A refined exterior with an extended design
The Escalade IQL features a longer silhouette compared to the standard Escalade IQ, providing additional third-row legroom and rear storage. The design retains Cadillac’s signature vertical lighting elements and bold styling.
A tech-forward luxury interior
Inside, the Escalade IQL includes premium materials and advanced technology. The cabin features a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar curved display, integrating infotainment, driver information, and navigation systems.
Executive second-row seating package
The available Executive Second Row package enhances passenger comfort with stowable tray tables, personal entertainment screens, and dual wireless phone chargers. Heated, ventilated, and massaging seats add to the premium experience.
Electric powertrain and charging capabilities
The Escalade IQL is powered by a 24-module battery producing 205 kWh, delivering up to 460 miles of estimated range. DC fast charging allows for up to 116 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
Performance and capability
With up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max mode, the Escalade IQL accelerates from 0-60 mph in an estimated 4.7 seconds. A towing capacity of 7,500 pounds maintains its capability as a luxury SUV.
Super Cruise hands-free driving
Standard across all trims, Cadillac’s Super Cruise driver assistance system enables hands-free driving on compatible highways. The technology provides automatic lane changes and real-time monitoring.
The future of the Escalade lineup
As Cadillac expands its electric vehicle offerings, the Escalade IQL joins the Escalade IQ and internal combustion models in providing a variety of options for luxury SUV buyers. Production begins in mid-2025.
