The Cadillac Escalade has long been the gold standard when it comes to full-size luxury SUVs. With its bold styling, premium features, and powerful performance, the Escalade continues to turn heads on the streets of La Quinta, CA. However, there's a new addition to the Escalade lineup that's making waves: the fully electric Cadillac Escalade IQ. At LaQuinta Cadillac, we want you to have all the info you need before buying or leasing a new vehicle, so we're happy to explain all the differences between these two large luxury SUVs.
Size and Exterior Design
At first glance, you might not even realize the Escalade IQ is electric. That's because Cadillac has retained the same iconic, larger-than-life exterior design that the Escalade is known for. Cruising down El Paseo in Palm Desert, CA, the Escalade IQ is sure to garner attention with its striking front grille, chiseled bodylines, and eye-catching 22-inch wheels.
In terms of size, the Escalade IQ is nearly identical to the standard wheelbase gas-powered Escalade model. It offers a spacious and luxurious cabin that can comfortably seat up to seven passengers. Whether you're shuttling the family around Cathedral City, CA or arriving in style at the Palm Springs International Airport, the Escalade IQ provides the comfort and style you require.
Electric Performance and Range
Of course, the biggest difference between the Escalade IQ and the gas-powered model lies under the hood. The Escalade IQ features an all-electric powertrain that delivers instantaneous torque and smooth, quiet acceleration. With an estimated range of over 450 miles on a single charge, the Escalade IQ offers more than enough driving range for road trips from Palm Springs, CA.
Despite its electric powertrain, the Escalade IQ doesn't sacrifice any of the capabilities that Escalade owners have come to expect. It can tow up to 8,000 pounds when properly equipped, making it ideal for hauling boats or trailers out to the Salton Sea. Available all-wheel drive enables the Escalade IQ to easily handle rough terrain or inclement weather conditions.
High-Tech Features and Premium Amenities
Inside, the Escalade IQ offers all of Cadillac's latest high-tech features and premium amenities. The centerpiece is a massive 38-inch curved OLED display that spans the entire dashboard, providing access to the infotainment system, navigation, and driver information. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity come standard, along with a premium AKG Studio audio system that will make every drive around La Quinta, CA feel like a private concert.
Other notable features include semi-aniline leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, tri-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. Based on luxury alone, there are few SUVs that can match the opulent interior of the Escalade IQ.
