2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Consumer Reviews
Most Helpful Reviews
Positive Review
First full BEV after coming from 2022 Chevy suburban. Drives amazingly well for full size vehicle, more power and better maneuverability than High Country (6.2 l) suburban. Excellent range, quick charging and so far getting 2.17 miles (3.4km) per kW. Cons - MyCadillac app is poor for long road trip planning, infotainment is fine (once you get used to it) but would prefer Apple CarPlay compatability. Cross shopped with Rivian R1S, nothing beats the interior size/seating comfort of the IQL (we are a family of 6 with 4 tall teenagers). Very happy with purchase and looks fantastic in deep space metallic!

Critical Review
This is not a vehicle for road trips or for towing. The back hatch design is terrible. If you have your car key close to the back of the car it will open spontaneously, making washing the vehicle or trying to connect a trailer hazardous. Trying to manually push the cadillac emblem to get the hatch to open is painful! The car doors are cumbersome with a very poor design. opening and closing the doors is a constant complaint from family members. Until Cadillac develops a hybrid version of the Cadillac IQ, stay far away from this vehicle as it's a definite short circuit!
