The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Is a 750 HP Electric Three-Row Flagship SUV with 450 Miles of Range! 

You make a really good point! While panoramic glass roofs look amazing, they can turn your car into an unintentional greenhouse. The "high tint" will help. A retractable shade or electronic darkening option would be a game-changer, giving us the best of both worlds - sunshine when we want it and shade when we need it. Let's hope manufacturers start thinking about that too!

The option to fully darken either digitally or physically should be part of the EV tax rebates. No sense having a solar heater stuck on high.

Agreed!

Thank Tesla. Depends on where you live. But what you say is absolutely true in all the biggest markets: CA, FL,TX.

The problem with electric vehicle is because the battery is in the floor… the floor is more higher than a regular vehicle… so that why the put a glass in the roof so th occupants have more headroom

Not for a starting 130k price tag! Hot selling in low low volume!

@@JonathanRootD how many Escalades are they selling right now? Considering this thing will cost 3-4 times cheaper to operate vs gas model.

450 miles on huge battery that will cost the equivalent to charge as an ICE Escalade. At 90% charge 405. Range loss above 70 mph,you’ll get roughly 320 miles.

@@lrod8692 these wont be really driven all that much on the highway. This will be for driving business people around a city. The 450 miles will just be for that one day a month where they need to drive more. For the most part these will never see more than 100 miles. Plugging in to a 22 kw charger at the office for a few hours a day will keep it charged for their daily use.

@@lrod8692 fully charged Tesla battery overnight is around 4 dollars in my area. This will be double, so maybe 10 dollars. I don’t know where you live, but you clearly have no idea. Range loss? Do you live in northern Canada?

Doesn't look very aerodynamic, either. Gonna be an electron guzzler, hopefully better than the Hummer's 1.6ish mi/kwh.

@@mile_high_topher Might be an eco mode for road trips buy yeah, can't expect much.

EV aren't all good an that is their greatest Achilles heel. They start heavy and stay heavy.

@@krane15 Solid state batteries will largely fix that problem.

RIP roads

Don’t mind $90k-$100k for that but $130k ooof

@@williamerazo3921 Bill, Mark Reuss and Mary Barra says you will pay the $30k premium AND LIKE IT...!!!😄 now quick, call your local dealer.

@@williamerazo3921 Probably the base price, too.

130k...plus Markups, well, we know where this is going

Yes, these LUX SUVs are expensive!

Current tail lights look better

This will look outdated the day Cadillac starts deliveries. The design team needs to look back in the history and create a modern version of those timeless designs.

@@srikarreddy5714 absolutely have lost your mind. This is not the Kia ev9.

@@srikarreddy5714 You're crazy! This is a vehicle of its time. In the future people will go gaga over this due to it oozing classic 2020s

Well, they removed nearly all buttons and knobs. So minimalist design.

Go buy a buick or an oldsmobile

You should have stopped by Fitzgerald Cadillac in Frederick, they had 3 Lyrics parked in their lot on Monday.

You have to save the economy!Buy buy buy!

Dream car, maybe?

It's one of those cars that if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

Ix m60 much better choice,it weighs 9000 lbs which is very unefficient for an ev,i hope they will replace the battery with 100kwh capacity catl condensed battery that only weighs 230 kg with 3 times more energy density in structural pack,this 212kwh old battery pack weighs 1278 kg on itself😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol

You’ll be waiting for the remainder of your life.

Got a Rivian, also enjoying it. Not sure if it can replace my suburban though, and I have to drive 2+ hours for service. Will be waiting for news of a Suburban EV after this.

@@zellodavis8453 GM won’t survive long enough to make a suburban EV

Tesla is a cheap toy compared to this superior SUV

GM has a major advantage: CEO is not a racist, bigoted, homophobic, antisemitic person.

Bingo. 👍🏻 wait until the nacs port is inc standard in 2025 as well.

Oooh yea!

Props to the photographer, and Andre. Nice video.

Is it a huge next step.

I personally prefer the ICEs exterior but that interior is light years ahead. And I like EVs so this is a great car.

@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690agree the current exteriors are better but this interior is next level.

The Equinox is almost guaranteed to not make their 30k price point either.

I hear you - pricing can be a bit unpredictable. Sometimes those initial estimates don't quite match the final numbers. Hopefully, they'll get it right this time with the ESCALADE IQ. Fingers crossed for a pleasant surprise! 🤞🤑

It starts at 130K

@@AutomotiveWoman Taillights look terrible. It should have been like a large A or upside down U

I'd say about $257,000 not much more.

until Cadillac goes back to be a real luxury vehicle again i wont event look at em. im talking 70's caddy quality materials. Real wood inserts real chrome, seats so big and comfy you can sleep on em. The kind of cars that wont get you some where fast but you enjoy the ride and not feel the grand canyon of pot holes if you roll over one.

​@@Sourman1545that's what the Celestiq is gonna do don't worry! Id say the 70s was probably when it started dropping in quality but before then it was considered the best out there

Absolutely, you're spot on! Just like with the Lyriq and Celestiq, Cadillac has a history of making bold statements. The ESCALADE IQ is no exception. I think t's redefining what an electric SUV can be. The sleek design, impressive range, and cutting-edge tech all come together to make a statement that's hard to ignore.

@@Sourman1545 So you're a nostalgia-head who'd rather Cadillac be a stagnate retro brand??? Yeah that sounds like the future to me 🙄

Ain’t gonna happen. The price range is out of 99% of buyers. They are having problems ramping. Losing on every sale. Horrible range per killowatt. Hummer isn’t even selling. Lyric is a piece of junk that rattles and squeaks. It’s a niche player If the brand can even survive 5 years longer. Only chance is chauffeur orders and hotel. By then we will have robots driving us around in cheaper teslas

Maybe more? Plus dealer markups for the first year or so no doubt. And the first model's won't ship with nacs ports? So the first year could be a bust until nacs is standard in 2025. This sucker is gonna need a LOT of high power chargers. 😀

r1S is gonna be fun and practical (also 30k to 40k$ less) , escalade is gonna be comfy and luxurious.

@@4literv6 Yeah that's absolutely true. Dealer markups are going to be insane.. The battery pack is over 200Kw.. I was stressing up the Rivian 135 .. I can't even imagine how much it'll be to charge this SUV haha

@@battousaihimura So true!

@@jambaman916 well this is actually rated for better efficiency than the rivians are. 2.4 miles per kwh or 75+mpge. I ran the numbers and for the average homeowner with a 35-40 mile commute daily? This will cost them a paltry $3-$4 to recharge it daily, more in some crazy high rate states like Cali or Seattle but still only about $6 a day or less. I could drive it for 900-1,000 miles a month for FREE because my emc not only has super low rates, the best reliability in the nation and over 55% of all energy from nuclear and renewables. But it also gives me 400kwhs of energy to charge an ev with from 11pm-6am daily. The dude who runs our emc is a trip to. He owns a plaid model s, installed enough ev chargers for all his employees to use at the hq free. Added 4 more for guests to use out front for FREE. Put up a solar&bess system which has already paid itself back in less than 30 month's. Introduced a $250 member incentive to install a home ev charger, introduced the 400kwhs free to charge an ev monthly with. And he's over seen the most profitable time ever with each year he's been running it we get member dividends back. Now tracking for 75%+of all our generated energy coming from nuclear and renewables by 2027 or even sooner. Yet folks tell me this just can't be done. 😂 And I live in the literal ass backwards state of Georgia to boot. With more swamp ass rednecks, humidity to kill the amazon with and more mosquitos per sq mile than any state not named Florida. 😀

This is actually profitable for them. GM said that their EVs under 40k are unprofitable.

Would believe there was a time when only well to do people could afford a TV? Today even poor people own more than one. Ever hear of trickle down? Everything new starts off unaffordable to the working-class until it reaches mass production. That said, there already are some very affordable EV for sale like the Chevy Bolt, and even Tesla just has a massive price drop.

Thank you for watching!

All EV manufactures overestimate their range, and I don't expect Cadillac to be any different. I'm guessing may 380 in the real world, but that still well ahead of the 300 mi. acceptable EV range. Divide by 2 for towing

Starts at $130K if you watched the video. So for that price, you won't even get the stuff shown, or the top range. Expect over $150K.

they already are for escalades.

Good look getting an ICE Escalade for under $100k even with dealer markups.

@@kahless0173 re: "they already are for escalades." yup, ICE world's already been paying this for Escalades and Yukon Denalis.

Yup 🤷‍♂️. No tax credit either unless the weight vehicle tax cut

Problem solved. And people make it seem like the price is so complicated.

Incredible. Incredible. Incredible.

Since they don't break down their EV margins, we'll never know 🤷🏽‍♂️

@bugguy1967 very true. We can guess they ain't pretty.

This thing has over 400 miles range

Exactly!!! At the cost of an EQS, this is a no brainer

For straight and level cruising, and acceleration. But no American SUV even comes close to the handling of the Germans. Thankfully, the FWS and crab walk, will now shrink the size.

It just look like the gasoline version

Oh, stop it. I agree the GW has the best 3rd row of any full-sized SUV currently on the market, but the Escalade is far from cramped. It comes in as an acceptable second. That's the ICE GW btw, I haven't seen an EV version of that SUV introduced yet.

But this has a larger profit margin than 3 Chevy bolts 🤑🤑🤑

Just like some like a small house and some like a large house, not for everyone.

And when it fails?

​@@krane15why does it have to fail? Hasn't been much problems out of the Hummer EV

"he EV market is the large vehicles like this using insanely big batteries" It's better than the insanely big amount of CO2 and other pollution that an ICE pumps into the air. Plus the batteries can be and are recycled. And no, the lithium isn't made by child labor. The two main sources of lithium for electric cars in the USA are going to be the Salton Sea Geothermal Field in California and various places in Nevada. This gets roughly the same range as the gas version btw. 528 for gas, 450 for battery.

They are not capable

I think the hummer has been out since 2021 and only 8300 “produced”, but no one knows how many have been delivered because a significant % are sitting on GM factory lots waiting for specific parts. For example in Q1-2023, they sold 2 hummers lol. Seriously doubt that the new Escalade production will do much better.

Huh? What do you mean?

@@TFLnowhe thinks you all are shilling for GM. Must not watch your videos since you do this for a ton of trucks. Probably thinks everything he disagrees with is a conspiracy.

Yep!

Marketing. People in marketing department tap into the unconscious mind and see what tricks they can use to sell you something.

They’ve teased it months before it debuted. Then again it was only on social media

Silverado EV, Hummer EV, now this... it was only a matter of time.
