Escalade IQ Has Millions of Custom Combinations
Curated by Cadillac is the brand's hand-built personalization program. It debuted on the CELESTIQ and the CT5-V Blackwing, and now extends to the Escalade IQ, its first electric SUV.
The package costs $54,995 on top of the vehicle's MSRP, and it will be offered in ultra-low volume for the 2027 model year. Each buyer works with a dedicated design concierge to configure the vehicle through guided sessions.

"We're extending the hand-built CELESTIQ experience to deliver true customization capabilities for a select number of ESCALADE IQ clients," said Kristian Aquilina, vice president, Global Cadillac.
Millions of Combinations
Buyers can choose from more than 160 exterior colors and finishes, spanning solids, metallics, tri-coats, frosts, and mattes, with launch colors including Selene Luxe Frost, Tigerlilly, and Manhattan Metallic. Inside, an expanded palette of up to 44 colors can be combined across all three rows of seating, the center console and floor mats. Cadillac says the combinations run into the millions, all backed by its quality materials and warranty support.
Hand-Built in Michigan
Every car is hand-painted and hand-built by artisans at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, the same facility that builds the CELESTIQ. Each one gets a unique VIN and a serialized builder's badge.
Performance Carries Over
The mechanical package matches the standard Escalade IQ. Cadillac estimates 465 miles of range, up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft. of torque with Velocity Max, and 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. A 55-inch Horizon display and Super Cruise come standard, backed by a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan. The IQ also supports vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging with compatible GM Energy products.
Availability
Curated by Cadillac, Escalade IQ will be sold in the U.S. and Canada, with deliveries expected in the second half of 2027. A concept goes on display at The Quail in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on August 14, shown in Vecchio with Sheer Gray and Santorini Blue accents.
