ESCALADE IQL is the long wheelbase version of the all-electric ESCALADE IQ, offering 4.2 inches more length, extra third-row legroom and headroom, and more cargo space behind the third row.
ESCALADE IQL builds on ESCALADE IQ by increasing the overall length by 4.2 inches.
This added length translates into more comfort for third-row passengers: legroom increases from 32.3 to 36.7 inches and headroom grows by 0.9 inches. Cargo capacity also increases—24.2 cu. ft.* behind the third-row versus 23.6 cu. ft.* in ESCALADE IQ.
Both versions share the same 205 kWh (24 module) battery. 2026 ESCALADE IQ offers a 465-mile range* (Cadillac estimated) and 2026 ESCALADE IQL offers a 460-mile range* (Cadillac estimated). 2026 ESCALADE IQ and IQL charge up to 117 miles and 116 miles in about 10 minutes,* respectively.

Paired with Magnetic Ride Control and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, ESCALADE IQL delivers a smooth, confident ride—ideal for city driving, long-distance cruising and everything in between.
Together, these systems deliver capability, intuitive control and personalized luxury in every row.

Power and Acceleration
With standard dual motor All-Wheel Drive, ESCALADE IQL produces 750 hp and 785 lb.-ft. of torque in Velocity Max (Cadillac estimated). That’s enough thrust to launch this full-size electric SUV from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds* (Cadillac estimated in Velocity Max).
Towing and Capability
Thanks to a robust electric platform and precise torque delivery, ESCALADE IQL can tow up to 7,500 lbs.*—ample for boats, trailers or weekend toys. This makes it a practical choice for drivers who want the benefits of electric power without giving up on hauling capability.
Ride and Suspension
ESCALADE IQL rides on a sophisticated chassis system that includes Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control, which delivers a smooth, composed ride that adapts to road conditions and driving style. Whether cruising long distances or navigating city streets, the suspension keeps the cabin balanced and serene—even with a full load of passengers and gear.
At low speeds, 4-Wheel Steer with Cadillac Arrival Mode* reduces the turning radius, helping to make parking and tight turns easier. At higher speeds, it enhances stability and confidence. This technology helps the 228.5-inch-long ESCALADE IQL feel far more maneuverable than its dimensions suggest—especially useful in urban environments or winding roads.
Altogether, ESCALADE IQL blends strength, precision and refinement to deliver the kind of driving experience expected from one of Cadillac’s most advanced SUVs to date.
