Cadillac Gives Sneak Peek of Electric Escalade IQ Before August 9th Unveiling
Cadillac has released a sneak peek of its upcoming electric vehicle, the Escalade IQ, which is set to be officially unveiled on August 9th. The initial glimpse doesn’t provide much information about the vehicle, but it does show LED lights in the grille, including a digital rendition of the Cadillac emblem.
This is Cadillac’s first full-size, all-electric SUV. It follows the mid-size Lyriq and the Celestiq sedan. The brand will introduce the Escalade IQ as part of its transition to an all-electric lineup by the end of this decade. The electric car is widely expected to use GM’s Ultium battery technology.
Parent company GM builds the Escalade IQ at its Factory Zero plant in Michigan. GM says $2.2 billion was spent renovating the facility for a future focused on electric vehicles. It’s not clear when the first Escalade IQ is expected to roll off the factory floor, but Cadillac has said the vehicle will arrive later this year.
