Together, the Executive Second-Row Seating Package plus the Rear Seat Entertainment System add $8,725 to the overall cost of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ. And speaking of pricing for the Escalade IQ, Cadillac Society reported just yesterday that the full-size luxury SUV will start at $129,990 for the base Luxury 1 trim, while the priciest model in the lineup is the Sport 2 trim, which carries a $150,490 price tag.
As a reminder, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ rides on the BT1 platform and is capable of delivering a maximum 450 miles of driving range on a single charge, along with 680 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque in Normal Mode. Engaging Max Mode coaxes 750 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque from the electric driveline.
Assembly of the luxury electric SUV will be handled at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant, now known as Factory Zero, with the start of regular production (SORP) is expected to kick off in early October 2024.
