Cadillac will reveal an electric version of the Escalade SUV this year to be called Escalade IQ.
The IQ name, which Cadillac confirmed Monday, dates to 2021 when General Motors applied to trademark it. Automotive News has reported that the Escalade IQ is expected in 2024 and may be built at GM’s Factory Zero plant in Detroit.
GM also trademarked the name Escalade IQL, which Automotive News has reported will adorn an electric version of the longer Escalade ESV expected in 2025. Cadillac declined to provide additional details about the Escalade IQ or confirm whether the name also will apply to a longer version of the SUV.
Cadillac said the Escalade IQ “promises the same commitment to craftsmanship, technology and performance that has helped the Escalade nameplate dominate the large luxury SUV segment for the last 20 years.”
