The 2026 Escalade IQ introduces a revised trim naming structure that shifts away from the numbered trim names used for the 2025 model year (Luxury 1, Sport 1, Luxury 2, and Sport 2). Although the names have changed, the content for each trim level remains largely consistent with their corresponding trims for the 2025 model year, with only minor adjustments. In addition, the Luxury and Sport trims are now $295 less expensive than their 2025 equivalents, while the Premium Luxury and Premium Sport trims see a slight $5 price increase.
As a reminder, the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ continues to ride on the GM BT1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan.

Alright, competitive pricing. Not!
My wife got one as a loaner when her car was in shop. I mean it rides really nice, it’s quick. Luxurious inside. But I can’t understand how it can be priced at that number compared to an ice version. We had a base model and no massage seats. For 135k+ this thing should be loaded. Also it’s massive. 2 inches shorter than a suburban. Could not fit into my garage. If I had infinite money I still wouldn’t buy it. Don’t know where you can actually park it. Like the hummer ev, these things are just massive.
