What's New for the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ?

The 2026 Escalade IQ raises the bar by fusing elegance, performance, and everyday convenience more harmoniously than ever. Still featuring Cadillac's dramatic 55-inch curved LED display and Super Cruise® hands-free driving assistance, it now utilizes GM's advanced Ultium electric architecture with dual motors capable of 750 hp and an EPA-estimated range of up to 465 miles. Cadillac maintains its four hallmark trims-Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury, and Premium Sport-for the 2026 model year. The Luxury and Sport models roll out on 22-inch wheels, while Premium Luxury and Premium Sport models now come factory-equipped with 24-inch wheels.

The Sport trim adds an athletic edge, an optional upgrade to 24-inch wheels, obsidian-chrome exterior highlights, sport-tuned suspension, and unique interior stitching. Premium Luxury steps up the indulgence with a 19.2 kW onboard charger for faster Level 2 recharging, a Night-Vision Imaging System, massaging synthetic-leather front seats, a 38-speaker AKG® Studio Reference system with Dolby Atmos®, and the Smart Trailering Package.
