Cadillac just announced the latest in wretched excess: the Escalade IQ. It’s an EV with 750 hp motors and is reported to go about 450 miles between charges. Same format as the ICE Escalade with 3 rows in a SUV but has a longer wheelbase and total length and is even wider. The attached first look says the 24” wheels aren’t even out of place. It starts at $130,000 as an outrageous SUV should and goes up from there. It will be available in August 2024. > **[2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Is Electric Extravagance Writ Large](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44737098/2025-cadillac-escalade-iq-revealed/)** > > The first EV Escalade goes big on everything: power (750 hp), range (450 miles), and price (roughly $130,000). ---

If you can’t make any money on single units, you increase volume. Mary is always right. Just ask her. Maybe the plan is to sell the brand to stelentis or someone. A lot of that brand unloading going around. Heh heh, I remember in the old days everyone was adding an extension to their garages to be able to fit the new cars in. Not sure how you’d fit this one in. ---

Excessive what? Size? Yeah, its big. Excessive cost? Yeah, no. Cadillac has always sold cars that cost more than twice the cost (or more) of a Chevy. BMWs EV Suv is $111K. The Tesla Model X long range is $100K. Range Rovers cost $166K and up. A Jaguar F Pace is $66K to start. A Porsche Cayenne can reach $171K. There is a market for expensive SUVs EV or ICE. ---

They’re charging a premium compared to what a Suburban EV would probably be but none of the large GM Suv’s have been all that cheap lately. The closest exclusive Cadillac dealership has their only Escalade V market up to $211,000 with the $49,995 upfit package. If it floats your boat that’s ok but it’s not remotely for me. ---

A flagship vehicle. People are drawn to these vehicles and while you are not paying attention, they sell your wife a CT4, XT4 or a Lyriq EV.
