Cadillac Escalade IQ

Velocity Max Mode: This is the headline figure, where the dual motors produce a staggering 750 hp and 1,064 Nm of torque.     Standard Output: Even in its "normal" setting, it produces roughly 680 hp.     Acceleration: In Velocity Max mode, this 3.8-ton beast hits 0–96 km/h in 4.7 seconds (0–100 km/h in approx. 5.1 seconds).     Chassis Tech: Standard with Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, plus Four-Wheel Steer with "Arrival Mode" (allowing it to move diagonally to navigate tight valet spots).

Battery: Houses a massive 205 kWh (usable) battery pack, one of the largest in any production passenger vehicle.     Range: Cadillac estimates a maximum range of 724 km. In the UAE, you can expect a reliable 580–620 km even with the AC working hard.     Charging: Its 800V architecture supports 350 kW DC Fast Charging, which can add 150 km of range in just 10 minutes.     AC Charging: Features a dual-module 19.2 kW or 22 kW onboard charger, allowing a full home charge in roughly 10–12 hours on a high-output wallbox.

The 55-Inch Display: A curved, pillar-to-pillar LED display spans the entire dashboard. It’s an 8K resolution masterpiece that integrates the driver’s cluster and the passenger’s entertainment zone.     Seating: Available with "Executive Second-Row" seating, which includes individual 12.6-inch screens, stowable tray tables, and dual wireless phone chargers.     The eTrunk (Frunk): Offers 345 liters of storage space under the hood—enough for two sets of golf clubs or several carry-on bags.     Sound: Standard with a 19-speaker AKG system, but the Premium Sport trim features a mind-blowing 40-speaker AKG Studio Reference system with 360-degree spatial audio.

Google Built-In: Native access to Google Maps (with EV routing), Google Assistant, and the Play Store. Like other new GM EVs, it does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.     Super Cruise: For 2026, hands-free driver assistance is standard for 3 years, allowing for relaxed travel on compatible UAE highways like the E11 and E311.     Thermal Night Vision: Projects a thermal image onto the driver’s screen to help spot pedestrians or animals in the dark during desert drives.

Price: In the UAE, the Escalade IQ starts from approximately AED 586,000 for the Luxury trim and goes up to AED 650,000+ for the Premium Sport.     Warranty: Standard 4-year/100,000 km warranty. Service: Includes a 5-year/100,000 km complimentary service and maintenance contract (Cadillac Premium Care). Battery Warranty: The Ultium battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km.
