Cadillac on Monday announced plans to create a fully electric iteration of its biggest SUV, the Escalade, plus a tease of the timeline: The electric version, called Escalade IQ, will bow later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Cadillac, the Escalade IQ \u201cpromises the same commitment to craftsmanship, technology and performance that has helped the Escalade nameplate dominate the large luxury SUV segment for the last 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Escalade IQ, which slots in next to the Cadillac Lyriq<\/a> crossover and upcoming Cadillac Celestiq<\/a> as all-electric, continues the brand\u2019s EV nomenclature, with a twist. \u201cThe IQ naming strategy celebrates Cadillac introducing a different type of EV to the market\u2014one that works in tandem with people\u2019s daily lives and environments,\u201d explained Cadillac.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Teaser<\/p>\n

Those environments likely won\u2019t include compact parking spaces or tight city streets. As it stands, the gasoline (or diesel) Escalade ESV measures almost 19 feet long, with a width of 81.1 inches and a garage-door-challenging height of 76.7 inches. That\u2019s neither as high nor as wide as the GMC Hummer EV<\/a>, though the electric Escalade is likely to weigh far more than the gasoline models\u2019 approximately 6,000 pounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2023 Escalade range from 23 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive and the turbo-diesel down to just 13 mpg combined for the performance-oriented Escalade V. In range, the GMC Hummer EV SUV will go an EPA-cycle 314 miles on a 170-kwh battery pack, according to the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cadillac has said that three new Cadillac EVs will bow in 2023<\/a>, with all three due to go into production in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An Escalade EV has been long in the works. In late 2019 the brand\u2019s then-president Steve Carlisle confirmed the electric Escalade project, although the company hasn\u2019t provided updates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"2023<\/p>\n

2023 Cadillac Lyriq<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cadillac\u2019s shift to being a fully electric brand by 2030<\/a> is well underway. The plan was essentially set in motion when GM announced in January 2019 that Cadillac would become the \u201clead electric vehicle brand\u201d for GM<\/a>, and the first GM brand to introduce a vehicle built on the so-called BEV3 platform that later became known as Ultium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first Cadillac EV didn\u2019t arrive until last year, with the Lyriq, but it did also last decade sell the plug-in hybrid Cadillac ELR<\/a>, a well-conceived but poorly marketed luxury coupe built on Chevy Volt<\/a> bones.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
