JAKARTA - A luxury vehicle manufacturer from the United States, Cadillac announced the first Cadillac Escalade EV model Escalade IQ. That is, Escalade will continue its adventure in the luxury SUV market for more than 20 years.

With the announcement of Escalade IQ, it also added to the ranks of Cadillac electric vehicles after manufacturers previously announced Lyriq and Celestiq filled the luxury electric vehicle segment.

Reporting from Inside EV, Monday, May 22, Cadillac Escalade IQ is claimed to offer adequate performance, technology, and capabilities as well as an internal combustion-engine Cadillac car.

Cadillac did not provide details on specifications or design details regarding this major SUV, but they said they would announce it by the end of this year.

Escalade IQ is likely to use a platform created by General Motors, Ultium. Just like Lyriq and Celestiq.

The name "IQ" is specifically for the electric-powered Cadillac model. The IQ series has debuted on the Lyriq model in 2021 and started its production period in March 2022.

Previously, rumors that Escalade would be equipped with EV technology had existed since 2019. At that time, it was estimated that the SUV could go up to 643 km in a fully charged battery.

With such reach power, it is widely reported that the EV Escalade will have a battery with a capacity of 200 kWh. This large capacity battery is very suitable for the three-line SUV size and seven seats on the Escalade.

However, the Detroit-based manufacturer must also prepare for the presence of the three-line rival electric SUV, Rivian R1S, which will also be present in the next two years.

Meanwhile, Ford also hinted that it would make a three-line electric SUV expected to be the successor to Ford Expedition.
