Discover the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL: Luxury Without Limits
The Cadillac Escalade has always been a symbol of bold design and refined luxury, and now it enters a new era with the all-electric 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL. This three-row luxury SUV combines long-range performance, cutting-edge technology, and Cadillac’s unmistakable craftsmanship. Built for Canadian drivers who want both sophistication and strength, the Escalade IQL proves that going electric doesn’t mean compromising on space, comfort, or power.
Electrifying Performance
The Escalade IQL is engineered to impress at every turn. With a Cadillac-estimated 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max mode, it delivers exhilarating power while maintaining smooth control. This SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 4.7 seconds, a remarkable feat for a full-size three-row vehicle.
Cadillac’s advanced aerodynamics help extend efficiency, while the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control provide a stable, comfortable drive across city streets or open highways. For tighter manoeuvring, 4-Wheel Steer with Cadillac Arrival Mode reduces the turning diameter, making it easier to navigate parking lots or narrow roads. Add in customizable Driver Modes and regenerative braking, and you’ve got a vehicle that adapts seamlessly to every journey.
Range and Charging Confidence
Range anxiety won’t be a concern with the Escalade IQL. Offering a Cadillac-estimated 460 miles (approximately 740 km) on a full charge, this SUV is built for daily commutes and long road trips across Canada. At home, the 11.5 kW charging system keeps things simple and convenient, while the available GM Energy PowerShift wall charger provides up to 36 miles (about 58 km) of range per hour. On the road, public DC Fast Charging can add up to 116 miles (roughly 187 km) of range in about 10 minutes at a 350 kW charging station.
The Escalade IQL also supports backup power capability for your home, giving you peace of mind during outages. With the myCadillac mobile and in-vehicle apps, drivers can plan routes, locate charging stations, and manage charging times with ease.
Advanced Technology
Step inside, and you’re greeted with Cadillac’s most immersive tech to date. The centrepiece is the curved pillar-to-pillar 55-inch total diagonal LED display, surrounding the driver with infotainment, navigation, and essential information in a crystal-clear layout. Google built-in compatibility ensures seamless access to apps, while available Night Vision uses thermal imaging to detect hazards beyond your headlights.
For music enthusiasts, the standard 21-speaker AKG Studio Audio System delivers stunning clarity, with an available 38-speaker AKG Studio Reference option for an even more immersive soundscape. Standard Super Cruise, with a 3-year OnStar One plan, allows hands-free driving on a growing network of compatible Canadian highways.
Interior Comfort and Space

The Escalade IQL is designed with families and long-haul comfort in mind. Spacious three-row seating ensures everyone rides in luxury, while the available Executive Second Row package adds more legroom, extra charging options, and upgraded audio. For versatility, the eTrunk provides 12.2 cu. ft. of lockable front storage, perfect for luggage or gear.
Ventilated front seats with massage, high-quality materials, and Cadillac’s signature attention to detail create a first-class environment. This SUV is more than just a mode of transport, it’s a sanctuary on wheels.
Bold Exterior Styling

From the outside, the Escalade IQL commands attention. Signature vertical LED lighting and slimline adaptive headlamps provide excellent visibility while showcasing Cadillac’s modern design DNA. The timeless Escalade roofline is paired with longitudinal roof rails, while 22-inch 10-spoke polished wheels add a sense of power and presence.
Practical touches like the rear liftgate with independently operable rear glass and the secure eTrunk make it as functional as it is stylish. Whether cruising through Nanaimo or heading on a cross-province trip, the Escalade IQL blends elegance with utility.
