2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ for Sale in Denton, TX, at Tom Clark Cadillac

The 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ brings full-size luxury into the EV SUV era with authority, range, and serious attention to detail. Available now at Tom Clark Cadillac in Denton, TX, this all-electric Escalade IQ is engineered for drivers who want flagship comfort, advanced driver assistance, and commanding performance without a drop of fuel. With a Cadillac-estimated 465 miles of range, a dual-motor AWD powertrain producing up to 750 horsepower, and a cabin designed around seven adult passengers, the Escalade IQ sets a new benchmark for Cadillac vehicles in the electric space. It also fits neatly alongside other Cadillac EVs like the VISTIQ while standing apart from gas-powered Escalade models with a dedicated electric architecture and massive cargo and load capacity.

The 2026 lineup includes four trims, each tuned to a specific take on luxury and sport:

  • Luxury
  • Premium Luxury
  • Sport
  • Premium Sport

Four Trims that Define Luxury and Sport

Every Escalade IQ trim starts with the same foundation: a large-format EV SUV built on Cadillac's dedicated electric architecture with standard Dual Motor AWD, Four-Wheel Steer, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, and Magnetic Ride Control. Where the trims differ is in appearance, interior appointments, charging capability, wheels, and premium features.

Luxury and Sport Trims at a Glance

Key standard features you will find on Luxury and Sport models include:

  • Cadillac-estimated 465 miles of range
  • 11.5 kW Level 2 AC charging capability
  • Dual Motor AWD with Velocity Max mode
  • Curved pillar-to-pillar 55-inch total diagonal display
  • Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology with a 3-year OnStar One plan

The Luxury trim leans toward classic Cadillac design, while the Sport trim adds darker exterior accents and a more aggressive stance. Both trims ride on 22-inch wheels and include a 12.2-cubic-foot eTrunk for secure front cargo storage.

Premium Luxury and Premium Sport

Premium trims build on that foundation with additional comfort, towing, and technology upgrades. These trims introduce 19.2 kW Level 2 charging, allowing for faster home and dedicated charge station replenishment, along with 24-inch wheels, massaging front seats, and expanded audio capability.

The difference between Premium Luxury and Premium Sport mirrors the lower trims: Premium Luxury emphasizes refined finishes, while Premium Sport highlights performance-inspired design elements.

Interior Comfort Built Around Real Measurements

Step inside the Escalade IQ, and the scale becomes immediately clear. This is a true three-row EV SUV designed for adults in every row, with physical dimensions that back up the experience. Interior design focuses on comfort, climate control, seating adjustability, and materials, while technology features are reserved for their own section.
