In this review, Doug DeMuro takes on the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ, a beast of a luxury SUV that comes with a price tag exceeding $160,000. This electric behemoth is longer and heavier than a Mercedes S-Class, boasting a massive 55-inch front screen that stretches from one end of the dashboard to the other. The Escalade IQ stands apart from its gas-powered sibling, offering a significant power boost and a range of unique features that set it apart in the ultra-luxury SUV segment. With 750 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque under the hood, this electric mammoth can sprint from 0 to 60 in a mere 4.5 seconds, putting it in the realm of sports cars rather than traditional SUVs.

Despite its massive size and weight, the Escalade IQ surprises with its agility and performance, thanks to its impressive power output and advanced electric drivetrain. The exterior design features multiple grills and lights, along with imposing 24-inch wheels that emphasize its sheer presence on the road. Inside, the Escalade IQ offers a luxurious cabin with high-quality materials and a host of cutting-edge technology, including a 55-inch dashboard screen that serves as the focal point of the interior. The lower screen controls essential vehicle functions, such as climate settings and door operations, providing a seamless and intuitive user experience.

One of the standout features of the Escalade IQ is its advanced camera system, which offers a range of high-quality angles for parking assistance and maneuvering this massive SUV with ease. The vehicle's interior exudes luxury and sophistication, with thoughtful design touches and premium finishes that elevate the driving experience. From the power-operated doors to the customizable digital displays, the Escalade IQ is a showcase of Cadillac's commitment to blending opulence with cutting-edge technology in a package that redefines the boundaries of luxury SUVs.
