Cadillac is one of the oldest surviving automakers today, having been in existence for over 120 years. There have been some iconic Caddys over the years, like the Eldorado, the Series 62, the Brougham, the Seville, and the sporty CTS line-up. However, the Escalade SUV line-up has a whole different fan base. Basking well on its SUV fame, Cadillac has made the bold move to all-electric SUVs. In fact, apart from the Rolls-Royce-rivalling Celestiq, all other Cadillac electric cars are sharp-looking and futuristic SUVs.
The Cadillac electric SUV line-up is vibrant, offering one for every price bracket. The most affordable of the bunch is the peppy, urban-ready Cadillac Optiq, priced at under $55,000. Next up is the dashing Cadillac Lyriq, a well-rounded mid-size SUV priced from just under $60,000. The sub-$80,000 Cadillac Vistiq is a unique addition that sways away from the norm with a family-friendly three-row setup, while also packing grin-worthy performance with 615 horsepower. At the top of the chain, valiantly carrying over the legacy is the all-electric Cadillac Escalade priced over $100,000.
All 2026 Cadillac electric SUVs are well-rounded in performance, luxury, comfort, convenience, and technology. There are sportier “V” trims and more comfortable long wheelbase models of these Caddies to tickle the senses of every possible eager SUV buyer out there. Furthermore, affordable ownership options, including leasing and financing, make these dashing electric SUVs attainable for all.

However, the Lyriq-V looks sportier than the standard Lyriq, with a more aggressive front fascia, unique 22-inch wheels, V-series badges, a rear diffuser, and red brake calipers. The driving dynamics also match this appeal, with stiffer springs, thicker anti-roll bars, quicker steering, and bitier Brembo brakes.

2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Interior And Exterior Picture Gallery
With advanced technology, a bold design, up 750 horsepower and a range of 460 miles, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ redefines performance and luxury.
The Cadillac Escalade IQ’s interior reflects its huge dimensions, with a spacious, luxurious three-row layout. The seats are wrapped in upscale leatherette upholstery with massaging, heating, and ventilated functions for the front seats. The second row gets heated captain seats with the option to elevate the experience with an executive seating package that also includes a command center screen.
