General Motors has officially announced the development of an all-electric version of the Cadillac Escalade luxury full-size SUV called the Escalade IQ. The first version of Cadillac’s electric SUV will appear later this year.

The Escalade IQ will join Cadillac’s other EVs, which include the deluxe Celestiq and the more affordable Lyriq SUV, which starts at $64,000. It’s all part of GM’s plan to make Cadillac’s elite brand all-electric by 2030. GM’s Ultium platform is the foundation for current and future electric vehicles, including the Chevy Equinox EV, Silverado and even the GMC Hummer EV.
Many U.S. automakers are leaning towards making large electric SUVs as demand for them grows. The Kia EV9 is one of the hotly anticipated three-row SUVs in this segment, although the Escalade probably won’t be a direct competitor as it will be significantly more expensive.
The latest Escalade, which the company released, is notable for being the largest and longest in the history of the brand. The current petrol-powered version costs over $80,000, but with current GM electric crossovers starting at $111,000, the Escalade IQ is expected to be even more expensive.
