Expert Pick #06
Cadillac Escalade IQ.
450-mile range, 750 hp, and a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display in the biggest, boldest electric SUV ever.
The Verdict.
8.1/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Escalade IQ is excess perfected. Everything about it is the most, the biggest, the longest-range — and somehow it all works. The 465-mile Cadillac-estimated range means you'll almost never think about charging, the 55-inch display is breathtaking without being distracting, and the AKG audio system turns the cabin into a concert hall. At $127,405, it's exclusively for buyers who want the biggest and best regardless of cost. For those buyers, nothing else comes close. MotorTrend's 2026 SUV of the Year.”
