Cadillac Escalade IQ
The big news for the 2026 electric Escalade is the addition of a long-wheelbase variant (IQL). Beyond that, the full-size electric SUV carries on unchanged, continuing with the same powertrain setup featuring a massive 205-kWh battery pack and a dual-motor configuration delivering no less than 680 horsepower and 615 ft-lb of torque (or 750 hp and 758 ft-lb in Velocity Max mode). Packed with cutting-edge technology, the Escalade IQ still has to contend with its considerable weight.
