March 26 2025,
The all-electric 2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQL brings impressive power together with expanded space, delivering 750 horsepower in a longer, more accommodating package. This extended version of the ESCALADE IQ maintains the model's exceptional performance while adding crucial additional room for passengers and cargo, perfect for drivers who need electric luxury without compromise.
As the newest addition to Cadillac's expanding electric lineup, the ESCALADE IQL builds on the brand's leadership in the luxury SUV segment while looking toward an electrified future. Production begins mid-2025 at General Motors' Factory ZERO plant in Detroit, bringing this spacious electric option to Canadian roads soon after.
Commanding Electric Performance
The 2026 ESCALADE IQL delivers exceptional power with 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque when using the driver-selectable Velocity Max feature. This substantial output propels the luxury SUV from 0-96 km/h in under 5 seconds—remarkable acceleration for a vehicle of this size.
You'll drive with confidence knowing the ESCALADE IQL offers up to 740 kilometres of range on a full charge. This extended range eliminates concerns about daily driving or weekend trips, providing practical electric mobility for your active lifestyle.
Your adventures continue uninterrupted with the ESCALADE IQL's 7,500-pound maximum towing capacity. Take your boat to the cottage or haul recreational equipment without compromising the electric experience. The independent suspension, Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, and Air Ride Adaptive suspension work together to create what Cadillac calls "Isolated Precision"—giving you a quiet, smooth ride while maintaining road feedback through the steering.
Expanded Interior Space
The ESCALADE IQL transforms your passenger experience with substantial improvements to third-row accommodations. Your rear passengers enjoy more than 4 inches of additional legroom (36.7" vs. 32.3") compared to the standard ESCALADE IQ, plus an extra inch of headroom (38.2" vs. 37.2").
Your storage options expand significantly with the longer silhouette of the ESCALADE IQL. Beyond the increased cargo space behind the third row, you gain a front-mounted eTrunk offering 12.2 cubic feet of secure storage—ideal for charging cables, shopping bags, or travel necessities you want to keep separate and secure.
The available Executive Second Row package elevates your passengers' experience with luxury appointments including stowable tray tables, 12.6-inch personal entertainment screens, a dedicated rear command center, and dual wireless charging pads. Massage-capable seats with headrest speakers transform your second row into a premium mobile lounge.
Advanced Technology Integration
Your driving experience centers around the curved pillar-to-pillar 55-inch diagonal display that stretches across the dashboard. This immersive screen creates a personalized infotainment experience with dedicated ESCALADE IQL graphics and intuitive controls at your fingertips.
Your music sounds better through the standard AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system. For audiophiles, the available AKG Studio Reference system includes 36 speakers—expanding to 40 speakers when paired with the Executive Second Row package. Dolby Atmos custom-tuned speakers and amplifiers deliver distortion-free, immersive sound throughout the cabin.
Long drives become less demanding with standard Super Cruise capability. This hands-free driver assistance system allows for relaxed cruising on compatible highways throughout Canada and comes with a 3-year trial period included with your ESCALADE IQL purchase.
Electric Luxury for Every Journey
The 2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQL creates a new standard in spacious electric luxury, combining powerful performance with genuinely usable three-row accommodations. Available in four distinct trim levels—Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury, and Premium Sport—you can personalize your electric experience to match your specific preferences.
