In this episode, Throttle House delves into Cadillac's lineup, questioning why their cars are giving off the "ick" factor. The team pits the G580 with EQ technology against the new Escalade IQ, both luxury EV SUVs with unique features like tank turn and crab walk. While the G580 maintains the iconic G wagon look with EV-specific touches, the Escalade IQ strays from the traditional body-on-frame design, opting for an electric Altium platform.
As they explore the practicality and performance of both vehicles, the G580 impresses with its quality interior and impressive speed, showcasing Mercedes' craftsmanship. On the other hand, the Escalade IQ offers a high range but falls short in features like Apple CarPlay, leaving the team questioning its appeal. Despite boasting a ton of range, the Escalade IQ lacks the road presence of the G wagon, raising doubts about its desirability in the luxury EV market.
Overall, the comparison between these two luxury EV SUVs highlights the different approaches taken by Mercedes and Cadillac in the electric vehicle space. While the G580 stays true to its iconic design while incorporating EV technology, the Escalade IQ faces criticism for deviating from the traditional Escalade body-on-frame structure. The team's evaluation sheds light on the strengths and weaknesses of each vehicle, offering valuable insights for potential buyers in the luxury SUV segment.
