The big SUV is a step in fulfilling Cadillac's vision for an all-electric lineup of "tier one" luxury vehicles.

But, at "only" around 18.6 feet long, there's definitely room for the Cadillac Escalade IQ to grow. Or so says Cadillac, which is why the new Escalade IQL exists. At 19 feet long, those extra inches will carry more cargo and provide further passenger space for the already coddled occupants.

The new Escalade IQL trades the IQ’s sloping rear for a more suitcase-friendly end.

Cadillac Escalade IQL will go on sale in the second half of 2025, carrying a premium of about $2,800 over the shorter Escalade IQ.

GM has pulled the sheets on the new 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL, offering additional passenger room and cargo room compared to the standard-length Escalade IQ.

Recharging the Escalade IQL can come as quickly as 116 miles per 10 minutes of charge time when using a DC fast charger, or as slow as 15 miles of range per hour when using the 7.7-kW dual-level charge cord.

Cadillac is expanding its Escalade lineup with the introduction of the all-electric 2026 Escalade IQL. Designed to offer increased passenger and cargo space, the Escalade IQL brings a longer silhouette and enhanced luxury while maintaining the performance expected from the Escalade name.

Okay, the price goes up, but you get the same power and range as the regular Escalade IQ, plus unique styling. But towing is impacted slightly.

Cadillac Escalade IQL is unveiled, beocming one of the longest SUVs ever produced, as well as being more luxurious and as powerful as ever.

Cadillac has revealed the 2026 Escalade IQL, their new all-electric luxury SUV, advancing its all-electric lineup goal for 2030.
