The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is positioned squarely at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and luxurious refinement. Although order books for the next model year have already opened, the 2025 model year configurator is still live, and there’s plenty of inventory on tap for shoppers seeking a more immediate purchase. So we’re taking a closer look at the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ interior colors along with seat material combinations and their respective availability by trim level.
The 2025 Escalade IQ is available in four trim levels: Luxury 1, Sport 1, Luxury 2, and Sport 2. Of the four interior colorways available for the battery-powered full-size SUV, two are available on the “base” Luxury 1 and Sport 1, while the other two are available only the higher-end Luxury 2 and Sport 2 trim levels.
These colors are offered in conjunction with two separate seating materials: Inteluxe, which is Cadillac’s brand for leatherette seating upholstery, or Nouveauluxe, which is a more high-end artificial leather. The former is coupled with the Fjord quilting pattern while the latter is paired with either a Carrington Falls perforated pattern or Evren back inserts with a Cygnus seat cushion perforated pattern, depending on the interior color. Each interior colorway also features wood decor.

Aside from the aforementioned Cadillac Escalade IQ interior color options, the electric SUV’s trims are further differentiated by creature comforts, with features offered on the Luxury 2 and Sport 2 configurations that are not available on the lesser Luxury 1 and Sport 1, such as ventilated seats for rear passengers and power adjustable bolstering for both front and rear passengers. That said, all trim levels feature the same dual-motor, all-wheel drivetrain which yields 750 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. Power is drawn from a 200 kWh battery pack, which offers a Cadillac-estimated range of 460 miles per charge.
As previously reported by Cadillac Society, 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ pricing starts at $130,090 for the base Luxury 1 trim before any options, while the Sport 2 bumps the starting price to $150,590, including destination freight charges.
