2023 Cadillac Escalade IQ has the power to captivate those around you like never before. Its iconic design first announces your arrival, then beckons family, friends, and followers to join you on the journey, GM has revealed what it plans to call the electric Escalade. Like a loaded baked potato or a deluxe ice cream sundae, Cadillac’s newest iteration of its full-size Escalade SUV comes with all the trimmings. The V8-powered, supercharged Escalade-V is the bigger sibling of the other V-Series vehicles in the Cadillac lineup, following the success of the CT4-V and CT5-V sedans Cadillac
Chock full of amenities and features, the Escalade-V version of the SUV has everything a buyer might expect from the body-on-frame vehicle plus all the power of a muscle car. It can tow about 7,000 pounds, carry several passengers or a combination of passengers and cargo, and it does so with an abundance of luxury touches.
Without a doubt, the Cadillac Escalade IQL will arrive as a large range-topping SUV, the same role the nameplate currently occupies in the Cadillac hierarchy. It’s unclear if IQL is a combination of the -IQ suffix and the L indicates a long-wheelbase variant. If that’s the case it would indicate the presence of the Escalade IQ and Escalade IQL. Cadillac Escalade Electric to enter production in Jan 2024: Report [Update]
According to a report, Cadillac Escalade EV (Cadillac Escalade Electric Vehicle) could enter production as early as January 2024. That would put its launch in the same year as the Range Rover EV.
Performance
The Cadillac Escalade EV could get the most powerful unit of GM’s three new Ultium Drive electric motors. Here, one permanent magnet synchronous motor produces 255 kW (342 horsepower). It’s possible to power both front and rear wheels with the PMSM. The company says that it has developed it for performance all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive applications. The Escalade EV will likely get two to three units of the 255 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor.
In the 2022 GMC Hummer EV, three units of the 255 kW motor provide a combined power output of 1,000 horsepower (GM est.). Expect the Cadillac Escalade EV to come with two or three 255 kW motors depending on the variant. Though it may not sprint from 0-60 mph in just three seconds like the Hummer, it should be plenty quick for an American full-size SUV.
GM has said that it plans to use silicon carbide in the integrated power electronics of its next-gen EVs’ Ultium Drive units. Silicon carbide can improve the EV’s range, reduce its weight, and conserve space. The company has partnered with Wolfspeed for the development and sourcing of silicon carbide power device solutions. Wolfspeed has the world’s largest silicon carbide fabrication facility, located in Marcy, New York. Its electric propulsion systems are usable in EVs with 400V to 800V and even higher system voltages. GM could use its silicon carbide in the integrated power electronics of the Cadillac Escalade EV’s Ultrium Drive unit.
Battery & Range
The Cadillac Escalade EV’s batteries should have a very high level of local content. Lithium is a key material for the battery’s cathodes and electrolytes, and currently, it is an imported material in most cases.
GM plans to form an investment and commercial collaboration with Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR) to source Lithium locally and at a low cost. The company says that the production of lithium will take place through a closed-loop, direct extraction process. Compared to traditional lithium mining processes like evaporation ponds or pit mining, the process results in a smaller physical footprint, no production tailing, and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
CTR’s closed-loop, the direct extraction process will recover lithium from geothermal brine. GM could source a significant portion of its future lithium hydroxide and carbonate from CTR’s Hell’s Kitchen Lithium and Power development in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field.
Features
New track-ready technology from the Cadillac V-Series. When you require a firm grip on the road, whether in the rain or snow or when cornering, the Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD) intelligently responds to road conditions, maximizing traction. To make your journey responsive and smooth, the Escalade-V has Magnetic Ride Control, which reads the road up to 1,000 times per second, which translates to the car reading every inch of the road at 60 mph.
Interior:
This distinctive V-Series cluster display is not just large but also curved. The first curved OLED panel in the market boasts twice as many pixels as a 4K TV. Bold visuals, flawless blacks, and a wide spectrum of colors are all made possible by this cutting-edge technology. The 36 speakers of the AKG* Studio Reference audio system, which are distributed around the cabin at various heights and places to provide an immersive, 360-degree listening experience, are appreciated by true audiophiles. When activated and determined to be the best option for an effective and smooth ride, Automatic Lane Change will occasionally automatically engage the turn signal and begin the lane change. When driving in a range of conditions, from slow-speed off-road maneuvering to highway cruising, the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension offers a better and smoother ride. This viewing mode integrates with navigation to project a live street view of the area in front of the car onto the Cluster Display, together with turn indications and other directional data. An intuitive advantage in the right direction is provided by integrated audio prompts.
All opinions ought to be heard. Interior microphones in the Escalade-standard V’s AKG* Studio Reference 36-speaker audio system pick up the voices of the driver and front passenger and seamlessly meld them with the audio being presented to the second and third rows. Conversations in the back rows are also broadcast to the front of the car through rear microphones.
Other Features:
The features of this car include Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, an audio input, and an MP3 player. Rear seat belts, a seat belt warning system, a rear camera, a DVD player, a touch screen, front and rear speakers, an electric folding mirror, and anti-lock braking are all included. When it comes to in-car entertainment, features include a touch screen, Bluetooth, front and rear speakers, and an audio system remote. Parking sensors, a low fuel warning light, and an electric folding view mirror are other features of this vehicle. Cadillac will formally begin its march to becoming a fully electric automaker by 2030 when deliveries of the Lyriq EV SUV begin next year. But what about the rest of the lineup? We know the Celestiq electric sedan should be on deck sometime before 2023, and there was a trademark filing with the Symbolic name discovered last year, but that’s about it. Until now, trademark documents discovered in Europe point to three new models that will join the EV party before Cadillac’s plan to kill all combustion-powered vehicles by 2030 goes into effect.
When it comes to in-car safety, the vehicle has anti-lock brakes, central locking, a backup camera, a tire pressure monitor, power doors that lock with a child safety lock, stability control, rear seat belts, and crash sensors. Adjustable steering, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and a rear leading lamp are available for further comfort.No doubt, a lot of features seen in Hummer EV could make their way into the Escalade EV, and a large sunroof or ’Sky Panels in GMC lingo could be one of them. Likely to sit just above the Hummer in GM’s line-up across brands as the most expensive SUV, the Cadillac Escalade EV should feature the most advanced infotainment systems for a GM vehicle. Expect it to have a top-notch display with crisp graphics, plenty of connected vehicle solutions, lightning-fast 5G connectivity, and much more. Cadillac could offer either ’Sky Panels’ like the Hummer where parts are detachable, or the SPD Smart glass that allows individual users to selectively adjust the light entering the cabin.

Ultra Cruise
Ultra Cruise, GM’s all-new advanced driver-assistance technology for premium models, will be seen on the Cadillac Celestiq in 2023. Ultra Cruise will allow hands-free driving in 95% of all driving scenarios and eventually be usable on every paved road in the U.S. and Canada.
Ultra Cruise is said to be better than Super Cruise and will be able to identify situations where the older system needs upgrading. It will use cameras, radars, and LiDAR and develop a precise, 360-degree, 3D statistical representation of the surrounding environment. Ultra Cruise-equipped models will have a LiDAR behind the windshield and new autonomous driving capabilities in addition to those of Super Cruise for the following purposes: At CES back in January, GM gave us a hazy look at a slew of additional EVs the automaker is planning for all its brands, it’s unclear if one of the hidden vehicles could be one of either Vistiq or Lumistiq. However, aside from the Lyriq and Celestiq which sat front and center, none of the other vehicles emitted the same light signature as the pair of Cadillac Electric Vehicles.
We think the Cadillac Escalade IQ (yeesh) or Escalade IQL could be the first on the scene. With the Escalade traditionally riding on the same platform as Chevrolet and GMC’s full-size pickup trucks it’s likely development of the electric Escalade is already underway alongside the Chevrolet Silverado EV, which will be unveiled at CES 2022. Another noteworthy feature of the Escalade EV would be Ultium Energy Recovery. A standard feature of all Ultium-based EVs, it’s exactly what its name suggests. It reuses waste heat energy from the EV batteries, power electronics, and other propulsion components in heating, increasing charging speed (by preheating the battery in the winter), and enabling sportier driving (by precooling the propulsion system). The heat pump can improve the range of a GM EV by as much as 10% by reducing the load on the battery for power heating and other functions.
