BINGO! You said it best! These losers think it’s the “near” future but it’s more like 20-23 years away still. Most people, like 70% are poor in America and most people live in APARTMENTS!!!!! In NYC where I live most live in apartments from 1875!!! There are NO parking lots thus NO Way for chargers!!!!!
Massive jump coming soon. States and cities across the globe have bans and restrictions on ICE vehicles set, being enacted at various times over the next 10-30 years. Electrification is the future whether its wanted or not...
As someone that’s not a fan of electric vehicles. Cadillac got this one right & tight! It doesn’t look like an electric vehicle. Can’t wait until they release them!!!!
250* real world with passengers and using all the electronics in the car. Don't even bring in towing yet. Don't be fooled by that 450. That's with one driver, driving in temperatures neither hot or cold. No need for air conditioning or heat. Radio off and nothing else probably on. Traveling at a very specific speed most likely under 70 the whole time on a highway.
I own a 2015 Escalade w/120k miles. It looks and drives like the day I bought it and I've only had minor issues. Though I love it, Cadillac is making it really hard not to give them another 100K..... :). I have friends who bought BMW and Mercedes SUVs around the same time as I bought mine and they all had major headaches with those brands and no longer own those vehicles.
@@georgianbroadcaster4700 We get your rant. I saw you post something similar a few times. I'm 62 worked for both BMW and MBZ decades ago and I embrace the future.
@bohatybr Welcome to the family. Parts and labor will be significantly cheaper. GM knows how to build engines too. The L86 in the Escalade and other GM models is very reliable.
Right! Sometimes I wonder with all of the expensive vehicles coming out that I somehow woke up in a different universe where everyone else has $100,000 burning a hole in their pocket. Just doesn't make sense what the car industry is doing right now.
That’s how capitalism works. I see ICE Escalades all over my area, along with $70k Grand Cherokees and $50k pickup trucks. So long as there’s someone willing to buy them, good for the car makers to sell them. I haven’t purchased a brand new car in decades because I prefer to let someone else to take the depreciation hit. Once people decide that a $1000 or seven year car note is insane, the makers will adjust…hopefully…or they will need another govt bailout which ironically is anti-capitalism.
Finally an electric vehicle that is nice to look at. This is absolutely beautiful. I did feel that the design of the steering wheel did not match the funky look of the vehicle itself. It felt a bit out-of-date. The pedals too. But otherwise, love it!!
General Motors is the only dealership that’s transitioning from gas to electric that actually gets it will you you can still keep the dimensions of your EV like it’s still a gas engine vehicle. The Hummer EV, Lyriq, and now the Escalade IQ. I still want to know will they have a 2025 gas/hybrid option for the Escalade?
THis car has cameras that watch your face at all times and there are microphones that listen to everything said in the car. ONSTAR can watch and listen anytime they want without telling you. Just know this if you buy one.,
The big factor for EVs is range anxiety. They did a good job dealing with that. Maintenance will be a lot lower than the current escalade, probably cheaper insurance.
Wow, wow, cadillac escalade is killing it, this one is the most beautiful SUV in the world, top of the line, the new back look is amazing, im glad they change the back, the back shape no more looking like Toyota anymore, amazing, if have to pick out of any luxury SUV I will pick escalade IQ, this should be the most beautiful SUV in 2025
Great review! Thanks Joe and Lori! I had know idea they were making an Escalade EV. Looks great! All other Manufacturers should take note, tuck that wiper underneath the rear spoiler like you say Joe.
Wow. I’m impressed. I love the design. If the interior materials and build quality are first rate, I think this is top of my list for a luxury SUV. It feels like Cadillac finally leapfrogged the competition instead of always playing catch up. This is an expression of American style and luxury I can get behind.
Cadillac has never filled when it comes to the Cadillac Escalade they never let you down they always just give you that punch of luxury style taste and tech.
So these will flow in MSRP from between $130,000 & $168,000 ~ but - will that be sufficient for the dealers once they get their hands on them!? On the current new body Escalade- there are dealers still adding $10,000 to $25,000 ‘’market adjustment ‘’ onto the MSRP just because… Plus - the $155,000 Escalade - V = $50,000 “market adjustment,’’ equaling over $200,000 + Add in the newly increased cost warranty: $6,500+, plus Tax, license, wheel protection, maintenance package, and everything else - and those buying the new Escalade-V are spending quarter million. All that being said - so how much of a ‘’Market Adjustment,’’ will these E.IQ’s fetch!? I mean seriously- the median IQ price MSRP will be $150,000 - does this mean $30K + adjustment, another $25K in taxes, license, record breaking extra warranty costs and everything else!? Another $205,000 + Escalade? We’re starting to approach an entry level Bentley here folks. The super wealthy couldn’t care less. What about the guy who’s saved for 10 years for the down payment and has always wanted a new Cadillac. = SOL…. #Reality2024
Your videos are really well set the camera angles & pacing your history on the brand & your own unique spin on how you explain them, simply beautiful my guy🥇
I really like seeing the third row have a middle head rest! Finally!! Would like to see a bench seat option for the second row. Built in sunshades would also be amazing!
I really love this vehicle and it was in my top 3 for my next car. However, the electric is just not there yet. 450 miles is more likely cut in half with ac or heat blasting etc. I love it but I think we have a few more years before electric is a good idea. For now I'll stick to my X7. Beautiful vehicle though.
The range is pretty accurate unless it’s bitter cold. Temps in the teens to the mid 20’s. Once the temp is in the 30’s and 40’s the range is fine. It does use more mileage if you drive it harder. Like quick takeoffs. I haven’t had the car in extreme heat yet so I can’t say. It’s definitely not for everyone. Not a great car to go away with, in the winter anyways. The car is definitely a Caddy. You can feel the weight when you drive it. I happen to like that. Overall I have no buyers remorse at all. But, I did do a ton of research before I bought the car. Just know what the limits are before you purchase.
The shape of that is interestingly reminiscent of the Cadillacs of the late 30s and 40s Rather than your standard truck-y look it looks like a big sedan And I love it.
Such a beauty! Would have loved to see the tail lights run one full strip right down like the other escalades, but I guess this help make the iq unique. I can't wait to see a test drive. I'm sure it won't disappoint.
I guess when this electric Cadillac gets stopped in the snow from batttery damage / drainage, there might be enough energy left in the seat warmers to keep you warm until the tow truck shows up, eh?😉
I love what I'm looking at. I won't ever have a need to haul any more than 2 or 3 (with me being 1), so I don't like the idea of paying for a 3rd row that is a waste of space. A luxury SUEV that delivers 450 mile range on a single charge is veeeeeeeery appealing.
$130k is just insane. I bought a 60k truck and after a few months the thought set in on why the heck did I spend so much on a truck, sold it and got myself a working van. Many people don't realize how much a car actually is until they have to make that monthly payment. I didn't either until that happened, plus the depreciation. Ohh heck no.
@CharlesV27 When you put the map on Google it will say the same thing to the Toyota Yaris on your side and it will arrive at the same time as you with all the torque and speed you have... if the trip is from state to state it will arrive much faster than you and if you want to go On a track you will only be 4 or 5 seconds faster...does that make sense? O want to hear your answer.
It looks like an improvement over the current Escalade stylistically. If this thing can deliver a real world 300+ mile range it could be a hit. Definitely has a presence to it...
It’s an amazing car. It’s also hilarious on how the entire automotive industry decided to switch to EV’s nobody wants. The market will autocorrect and move back to internal combustion. The government can’t change what people want to buy.
I cannot help but wonder if electric cars will be gone in the next few years.. It doesn't seem sustainable and the ordinary mechanic down the street will never be able to maintain these complex machines.. I will stick with combustion engines for now..
Agree. Mining for those battery components are probably worse for the earth long term. I’m really hoping hydrogen takes off in the next 5 years and replaces electric. Keeps the combustion engine but burns clean. Win win. And the repo man can’t just activate it remotely and have AI drive itself back to the dealer giving you a few more weeks to grind for that payment 😂
It's funny how electric cars is 70% of the car's reviews today and it's less than 5% of the car's sales. 🤔
And they decrease in Value 50% off MSRP within months. Ask me how I know.
There's nothing "green" about a 1200lb battery

450 Impossible
No way 450 miles ! With the AC or heater on, it’s much kess
Buy 2
If it can deliver on a legit 450 mile range, Cadillac might have something here.
THEY HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK WITH THIS ONE 👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
With the third row it still has plenty of room for luggage on the back. Very nicely done! It looks luxurious and spacious!

Stunning = Gorgeous IQ Cadillac has set the tone when it comes to electric SUVs. Love it!!
For now no one can't compete , whit Cadillac Escalade.
I think you may be right!
You mean no one can compete. You use da double negative, but I'm with you.

Should offer it in a diesel or 6.2 also for better sales. Everybody doesn't want to go electric
This is the first EV Cadillac I realy like with decent range.

What a fantastic design ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is my new dream car. Plush and comfortable, perfect for long trips out here in the West Coast.
wish it had a larger screen at this price point. Maybe a screen in the middle of the steering wheel, I don't know...
I’m trying to figure out how much LARGER you want the already LARGER SCREEN to be
😂
I love this!! I like the 2025 Infiniti QX80 too! Competition!!!!! I'll wait till the price drops!!
I really liked this when I saw it at the Detroit Auto Show.
awesome design, modern interior - If they can bring the price down to X7 or GLS level - The game is ON!😎

Yeah of course Joe and can't wait to buy one.
Beautiful what a great job cadillac has done👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Probably the best looking EV so far. With all those screens, this would be definitely something you lease 😂
Always love your videos. I just got the Lyriq but will add this beauty to the wish list ❤
Was this the only Cadillac at the show? We didn't see any others and I wanted to see the new XT4 re-design.
I guess they are having the larger display at NY in March!
I am more than excited for this 😁😁
It is one good looking suv. love the piano tailights
Same here Ricky!
What a beautiful SUV

Luv the vehicle. Simply stunning. Glad to see the Escalade coming back to the forefront of luxury style and function
