Cadillac is charging into the future by unveiling the 2026 ESCALADE IQL, an all-electric variant of its iconic luxury SUV. This new addition to the ESCALADE lineup builds upon the success of the gas-powered ESCALADE with an eco-friendly electric option.

The ESCALADE IQL features an exterior design with a longer, more sophisticated silhouette which provides extra cargo capacity and spacious third-row seating. The interior includes Cadillac’s latest technology like a curved 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display and AKG Studio audio systems. Super Cruise driver assistance comes standard across all trims.

Performance remains a highlight thanks to a 205 kWh battery enabling a 460 mile range and fast charging capability. The ESCALADE IQL makes 785 lb-ft of torque and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Towing capacity is an impressive 7,500 lbs.

First introduced in 1999, the Cadillac Escalade pioneered the luxury SUV segment and remains America’s best-selling full-size luxury SUV. The 2026 ESCALADE IQL will be built at GM’s Factory ZERO plant in Detroit alongside the standard ESCALADE and recently revealed ESCALADE IQ.

The ESCALADE IQL will be offered in four trims starting at $132,695. Cadillac aims to continue leading the luxury SUV market by blending style, performance and innovation in new electrified models.
