Description

The Cadillac Escalade IQ just might be the biggest, baddest electric SUV on sale — and we took it down to the Edmunds test track to find out how the behemoth performs. Plus, we put it through the rigorous Edmunds EV Range Test to determine its real-world range, and the result was… rather insane. Edmunds’ Clint Simone tells you everything you need to know about the Escalade IQ in this video!

We own one. We did our own 80mph range test on a 110F day in Phoenix. We got 360 miles. Just as an FYI.

For us Europeans this is simply the United States in one car oversized, over powerd, heavyweight SUV land yacht for the road 😅😅😅. It's just insane to see battery size used and the weight of it is insane, here in Slovenia ypu would need a proper truck license to drive it 😅 Great video keep it up 👍

For $160k, you shouldn't have to add an option package for power captain's chairs in the second row.

A few nearby neighbors drive these things and man are they gargantuan. Definitely has a lot of presence (and mass) on the streets. My local Cadillac dealer's showroom had five of these lined up on the showroom floor, plus two Lyric Vs, a Vistiq, and five Optiqs. Not a single ICE vehicle to be seen in the showroom.

I just love how for "luxury" SUVs, you buy one because you want a comfortable ride, but because you have 24in wheels you need sophisticated magnetic dampers and air suspension to compensate. It's all about dreaming up an unnecessary problem, so that you can have an unnecessary solution for.

With the size of these batteries, you should have two ports to charge it faster
