The original Escalade debuted in 1998 and the model has quickly become an iconic symbol of luxury. Now, Escalade will take a bold next step into the future with an all-electric powertrain. It is likely the ESCALADE IQ will take advantage of GM’s BT1 platform and Ultium battery technology, which also underpin several other GM electric vehicles including the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC HUMMER EV. The ECALADE IQ may also share a powertrain with the HUMMER EV, which is capable of up to 1000 horsepower, 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and an estimated range of more than 570 km on a single charge.
