The electric version of Cadillac’s icon is crossing the block.
Cadillac made waves when it announced that part of its rapid efforts toward electrification would include introducing an electric version of its most iconic SUV: the Escalade. The new Cadillac Escalade IQ resulted in a more aerodynamic and futuristic rendition of the legendary luxury SUV that has built a legacy as one of the most predominant American luxury vehicles. For those who are anticipating the new electric luxury SUV’s arrival on the road, the chance is coming to own the very first example.
The first retail production all-electric Cadillac Escalade IQ, with the VIN 001, will be up for auction this October as part of Barrett-Jackson’s 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction. The entire hammer price of the vehicle will benefit the Detroit Children’s Fund. The new Escalade IQ is an exciting addition to the world of electric luxury SUVs, combining the Escalade’s unforgettable full-size luxury SUV footprint with GM’s pioneering electric vehicle technology.
The Escalade IQ boasts an estimated maximum of 750 horsepower and 785 lb/ft of torque. With a 0-60 time estimated to be under 5 seconds, an estimated range of 460 miles, and features like Super Cruise hands-free driving, the new Cadillac Escalade IQ combines performance, stately luxury, and high-tech convenience, efficiency, and comfort. For those who want to be the first to experience the future of the iconic Escalade legacy, Barrett-Jackson’s 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction offers the chance to be the owner of the first example of this new full-size electric luxury SUV sensation.
