The Escalade IQ joins Cadillac\u2019s other EVs, which include the ultra-luxury and limited Celestiq and the more attainable Lyriq SUV, which starts at $64,000<\/a>. It\u2019s all part of GM\u2019s plan to make the luxury brand exclusively an EV label by 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n GM\u2019s Ultium platform is the basis for its current and upcoming electric vehicles, including the Chevy Equinox EV, Silverado, and even the GMC Hummer EV \u2014 and presumably this one as well. Many of the electric vehicles from multiple automakers are leaning into larger SUVs in the US market as demand for them increases. Kia\u2019s EV9 is one hotly anticipated three-row<\/a> SUV that exists in the segment, though the Escalade will likely be in a pricier tier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The last Escalade the company released was its largest and longest ever<\/a>, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see what the new IQ will look like. The current gas-powered Escalade starts at more than $80,000, but considering GM\u2019s huge bummer<\/em> EV<\/a> starts at $111,000, we\u2019d expect the Escalade IQ to be more expensive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
