2026 CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ MODEL REVIEW - Frisco, TX

What's New for the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ?

The 2026 Escalade IQ effortlessly combines flair, excitement, and daily usability like never before. Retaining Cadillac's expansive 55-inch curved LED display and Super Cruise® hands-free driving technology, it now sits atop GM's newest Ultium electric platform with dual motors producing up to 750 hp and offering an EPA-estimated range of up to 465 miles. For 2026, Cadillac continues with its four signature trim levels-Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury, and Premium Sport-while Luxury and Sport models come standard on 22-inch wheels, and Premium Luxury and Premium Sport models roll out of the factory on 24-inch wheels.

What Are the 2026 Escalade IQ Trims & Features?

Cadillac divides the Escalade IQ lineup into four unique tiers to cater to every preference.

Upgrading to Sport brings a bolder look and feel, an option for 24-inch wheels, obsidian-chrome exterior accents, sport-tuned suspension settings, and exclusive interior stitching. Premium Luxury raises the comfort bar further with a 19.2 kW onboard charger for faster Level 2 charging, a Night-Vision Imaging System, massaging front seats in upgraded synthetic leather, a 38-speaker AKG® Studio Reference system with Dolby Atmos®, and Cadillac's Smart Trailering Package.
