Cadillac Escalade IQ Electric Powertrain
The massive electric SUV’s propulsion comes from two electric motors paired with a 200kWh battery pack. The power is sent to all four wheels all the time. The electric powertrain produces 750hp and 1065Nm of peak torque. Thanks to the massive torque output, the IQ has a towing capacity of over 3,600kg.
The Escalade IQ accelerates from 0 to 96kmph in under 5 seconds. The SUV rides on Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and Adaptive Air Ride Suspension technology. This allows the suspension to go down by 50mm and increase the ride height by 25mm.
Other Driving Features:
- Four-Wheel Steer
- Cadillac Arrival Mode (Just like the Hummer EV)
