Cadillac officially launched the all-electric long-body model of the Escalade, the 'Escalade IQL (ESCALADE IQL),' in Korea on the 22nd, expanding its flagship SUV lineup. The newly introduced Escalade IQL boasts an overwhelming body ratio and spacious interior, based on the longest overall length of 5,820mm and a wheelbase of 3,460mm among EV SUVs currently sold in Korea.

The vehicle extends the body by 105mm compared to the existing Escalade IQ model, securing even wider third-row space and rear cargo capacity. It applies a box-type roofline that drops vertically from the rear, maximizing the usability of third-row headroom and trunk space. Additionally, a 345L large-capacity 'e-Trunk (eTRUNK)' is placed at the front of the vehicle, and a tailgate glass that can be opened and closed individually is applied to improve storage accessibility.

Inside, the 'Second-Row Executive Seats' providing the highest level of comfort are standard, offering 14-way electric premium seats including massage functions, a retractable tray table, a 12.6-inch personal screen, a second-row command center display, dual wireless charging pads, and headrest speakers. It is also equipped with an AKG® Studio Reference audio system configured with up to 42 speakers and a 55-inch Horizon Curved LED display that connects the driver's 35-inch and passenger's 20-inch screens into one, delivering an immersive auditory and visual experience.

The Escalade IQL is equipped with a 205kWh large-capacity NCMA (lithium-ion) pouch-type battery, certified for a combined driving range of 710km (749km in urban areas, 662km on highways) on a single charge, and adopts an 800V ultra-fast charging system supporting speeds up to 350kW. The powertrain adopts a dual-motor electric drive system and an all-wheel-drive system, delivering a maximum output of 750 horsepower (HP) and maximum torque of 108.5kgf·m based on Velocity mode. It is also equipped with GM's hands-free driver assistance system, 'Super Cruise™.'

Furthermore, it applies an electronic four-wheel steering system that steers the rear wheels up to 10 degrees in the opposite direction of the front wheels during low-speed driving to minimize the turning radius, and steers in the same direction during high-speed driving. It is also equipped with 'Magnetic Ride Control 4.0,' which adjusts damping force by detecting road conditions up to 1,000 times per second, and 'Adaptive Air Ride Suspension,' which automatically adjusts the vehicle height according to driving conditions. In Korea, it is launched as a single trim, 'Premium Sport,' with six exterior colors including Black Raven and White Sandstone, and one interior color, Camellia Brown. The vehicle price is 287.57 million won, including a 3.5% individual consumption tax.
