Cadillac is GM’s prestige brand, historically positioned against Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Its biggest-volume product is the Escalade full-size SUV, which has been built since 1999 and dominates the American full-size luxury SUV segment.
The electric Escalade IQ, launched in 2024 on GM’s Ultium platform, is the brand’s most expensive and most technologically ambitious vehicle. The IQL variant, announced in 2026, extends the IQ’s wheelbase to match the long-body Escalade ESV that Cadillac has offered in combustion form since 2002.
