Cadillac’s legacy of luxury and innovation roars into the future with the 2026 Escalade IQL, an all-electric behemoth that stretches the boundaries of what a full-size SUV can be. Unveiled as a longer, more spacious sibling to the Escalade IQ, the IQL doesn’t just electrify—it amplifies. With production set to kick off in mid-2025 at GM’s Factory Zero plant in Detroit, this is Cadillac doubling down on its promise to lead the charge in premium electric mobility.
Spanning 228.5 inches, the IQL tacks on an extra 4.2 inches of length over the standard IQ, all cleverly added behind the rear axle. The result? A cavernous third row with 36.7 inches of legroom (up from 32.3) and a cargo hold that swells to 24.2 cubic feet behind the seats. That’s space for the family, the gear, and the prestige. Power comes from a dual-motor setup churning out up to 750 horsepower, paired with a 205-kWh battery pack delivering a commanding 460-mile range. It’s brute force meets silent sophistication, wrapped in a design that’s unmistakably Cadillac—sharp lines, a boxier rear hatch, and a presence that owns the road.
Offered in four trims—Luxury Sport, Premium Luxury, Premium Sport, and the range-topping Escalade IQL-V—this is Cadillac cementing its electric dominance. The IQL isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a statement. From the gas-guzzling icons of yesteryear to the whisper-quiet powerhouses of tomorrow, Cadillac’s legacy evolves, proving that luxury and sustainability can coexist in grand style. Expect it to roll out globally in 2026, redefining what it means to ride large and charge forward.
