Large luxury SUVs are always in demand because they offer the highest levels of premium features and driving capabilities. Now, with more electrified options, you'll be able to discover all these options and enjoy emission-free driving with the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ. Here at Costa Mesa Cadillac, you can view this exciting new electric SUV and compare it to its competition, like the Tesla Model X, Rivian R1S, BMW iX, and Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, and see how it often outpaces them in performance, innovation, and sheer presence.
Compare Performance
At the heart of the Escalade IQ is GM’s Ultium battery platform, packing over 200 kWh of capacity. This powerhouse delivers a jaw-dropping 750 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque, making it one of the most powerful full-size electric SUVs on the market. For comparison, the Tesla Model X Plaid offers 670 horsepower, while the Rivian R1S peaks at 835 horsepower but with a smaller battery and less luxury refinement.
Despite its size, the Escalade IQ accelerates with authority, offering the kind of instant torque and smooth power delivery that only a well-engineered EV can provide. And with an estimated range of up to 460 miles, it outdistances most of its electric rivals, including the BMW iX (324 miles) and Mercedes EQS SUV (305 miles).
Compare Capability
When you purchase an EV, you want to be sure you're getting plenty of capability. The Escalade IQ boasts a towing capacity of up to 8,000 pounds, nearly matching its gas-powered sibling and surpassing many EV competitors. Whether you're hauling a boat or a trailer, the IQ proves that going electric doesn’t mean giving up utility.
Interior Features
Step inside the Escalade IQ, and you'll be greeted by a 55-inch curved LED display that stretches across the dashboard—an industry first. This immersive interface blends driver information, infotainment, and passenger entertainment into a seamless digital experience. It’s more visually striking than what you’ll find in the Tesla Model X or BMW iX.
The cabin is replete with premium materials, including massaging seats and AKG Studio Reference audio that rivals high-end home systems. The Escalade IQ also features GM’s Super Cruise, a hands-free driving system that works on over 400,000 miles of roads in North America, offering a more refined experience than Tesla’s Autopilot or Rivian’s Driver+.
A Spacious Interior
With a 136.2-inch wheelbase, the Escalade IQ offers generous legroom and cargo space. It includes an eTrunk (front trunk) for additional storage, and its rear cargo area is among the largest in the segment. Whether you're transporting passengers or gear, the IQ delivers unmatched versatility.
Exterior Design
The Cadillac Escalade IQ features a bold, futuristic design with a black crystal grille, dynamic lighting choreography, and a sleek silhouette that balances elegance with presence. It’s unmistakably a Cadillac, yet it signals a new era of design and innovation.
