Step Into the Future with the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ in Nanaimo
There’s a luxury, and then there’s the all-electric 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ. With this bold evolution, Cadillac takes its iconic full-size SUV into an all-new chapter. Built on Cadillac’s dedicated EV architecture, the Escalade IQ delivers serious range, powerful acceleration, and technology that transforms the driving experience. And now, you can discover this futuristic SUV right here in Nanaimo.
A New Kind of Power for Vancouver Island Roads
The 2026 Escalade IQ isn’t just electric—it’s exhilarating. With Cadillac-estimated 750 horsepower in Velocity Max mode, this SUV moves with the strength and speed of a true performance machine. It can go from 0 to 96 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, which is impressive for a three-row luxury SUV. Whether you're heading to Tofino or touring the scenic coastal roads near Nanaimo, this electric Cadillac Escalade is built to thrill.
A full charge offers up to 748 kilometres of Cadillac-estimated range. That means weekend escapes, long family trips, or daily commutes can be done with peace of mind. And when you need a quick top-up, standard DC fast charging can add up to 188 kilometres in about 10 minutes. This kind of flexibility makes the Escalade IQ one of the most road-trip-ready EVs in Canada.
Designed to Be Seen—and Felt
The Escalade IQ’s design is unmistakable. It blends sculpted elegance with commanding size. Standard 22.0-inch wheels anchor the Luxury and Sport trims, while Premium trims offer massive 24.0-inch wheels—the largest ever on an Escalade. The signature LED lighting and sleek body panels give it a futuristic stance that still honours Cadillac’s bold presence.
But it’s what’s inside that sets it apart. Step into the cabin and you’re greeted by a curved 55.0-inch diagonal LED display stretching pillar to pillar. It’s the centrepiece of a tech-forward space that also includes Google built-in compatibility, optional Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and Cadillac’s award-winning Super Cruise driver assistance system.
First-Class Comfort in Every Row
Whether you’re the driver or a rear passenger, every seat in the 2026 Escalade IQ is a front-row experience. Standard models come equipped with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seating. In Premium trims, you’ll find massaging front seats, 16-way power adjustments, and even Executive Second Row seating that feels more like a private lounge than a typical SUV.
Cargo space is just as impressive. Behind the first row, you get up to 3,736.9 litres of space, including the handy eTrunk up front. It’s more than enough room for road trips, camping gear, or shopping trips across Vancouver Island.
A Smarter, Safer Drive
Cadillac continues to lead with intelligent driver support. The 2026 Escalade IQ comes standard with Super Cruise—a hands-free driving technology that supports more than 320,000 kilometres of roads across North America. It’s included with a three-year trial. Add available Night Vision and the Adaptive Headlamp System on Premium trims, and you’ll get extra confidence driving through foggy B.C. highways or rural Nanaimo backroads.
