It's the best looking EV I've seen, amazing range, a little pricey for me. I've never understood pano roofs, even with AC on it is so uncomfortable. Good review, Merry Christmas and a healthy new year.
According to the order guide, this should have a sunshade. Why that particular model doesn’t have that sunshade is puzzling. I am guessing it’s a late arrival. It should be standard. As for arrival mode being a gimmick, let’s consider other Cadillac tech that was called gimmicks: Cadillac brought cylinder de-activation to the market in the early 80s with the Sevilla. The engine had reliability problems, but as opposed to popular belief it was NOT the cylinder de-activation that was the problem. But from the beginning it was decried as a gimmick. In the late 80s Cadillac brought power-assisted decklid to the market, again, in the Seville. It was decried as a gimmick, but it was the forerunner of current power assisted decklids. Now people don’t want a luxury car without similar tech. Night vision was first brought to the automobile market by Cadillac in the early 2000s in the Deville. It was dismissed as a gimmick. Now people don’t want a luxury car without it. Just a few years ago, Cadillac brought the rear camera mirror to the market in the XT4, and the car magazines dismissed it as a gimmick. So, you dismiss arrival mode as a gimmick, but once someone in Hollywood pulls off a great arrival at the Oscars or some such, everyone will want it.
Great review Kenny! That is an amazing SUV with an equally amazing price! The driving range is phenomenal for sure. Huge mistake by Cadillac not offering either wired or wireless play. Cadillac should absolutely provide a shade or a way to make the roof opaque like some other luxe SUVs. Congratz on 49k and hoping that you are doing great always!
Android Automotive is WAY better than phone mirroring with Android Auto. I can possibly see Apple users feeling a way but the intergrated Google OS is superior to both in every way.
@703Speed number one, it can be customized for oddly shaped displays where Android Auto is typically restricted to a 16x9 window within what display format is ported too (Apple has more flexibility here). #2, Android Auto cannot port it's display to driver instrument clusters so if you have a moving feature in your car's gauge cluster, and you use android auto, this functionality is not supported. #3 zero chance of handshake/connectivity issues. I've had numerous cars/phones that required restarts when the configuration wasn't right and AA wouldn't function properly. #4 for EVs, Google Automotive is much superior for EV specific route planning as compared to AA.
Is the Escalade IQ the best EV at its price point? If not, what's better?
Yes & better than before as my opinion.
Cadillac does a good job of making an aerodynamic vehicle without it looking like the design was a slave to aerodynamics.
i believe that the sucess of GM Electric line up is that they are regular cars that happens to be electric
Great to see your videos!

PRO Tip: Rgardless of the cameras, don’t park your 100k+ vehicle in tight PLaces
Wow, amazing car!! Thank you GM and thank you for the video ❤

Yes, being able to make the roof opaque would be a great idea! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Sharp nice review Kenny merry Christmas to you and your family
Nice video & I would love to buy this one day.

I wonder if they can do an over the air update to bring back Android Auto and CarPlay 🤔🤔
Very disappointing that the back glass does not open up.

How so?
