General Motors is accelerating its plans to fully electrify its brands. Ultium technology has given it a competitive advantage over its rivals that they don't want to pass up. And the proof of this is in each and every one of the novelties that it has been revealing in recent months. But there is a very special model in everything that it means for its history as a car manufacturer. It is the new and longed for Cadillac Escalade IQ.
If you do a little memory you should remember that We have already talked about the new Cadillac Escalade IQ. In this last year many rumors have announced that General Motors was working on this model. In fact, thanks to the work of his legal team, we learned that had protected this trade name. The confirmation in this regard came with a first teaser that did not show much but now Cadillac announces when will be his debut...
What can we see of the new Cadillac Escalade IQ in this teaser video…
To announce the presentation date of the new Escalade IQ they have published more graphic material. And although it still hides many details of its aesthetics, it is more than enough to understand what they have up to. The first thing to note is that the Electric IQ won't be much like the Climbing that we already know. Just take a look at the teaser in which the house of the shield shows its powerful LED light signature that brings it closer to the new Lyriq.
We have a front chaired by endless LED diodes that form a design away from the current Escalade. The logo that presides over the grill also lights up, adding a modern touch to a banner that exceeds a hundred. As for the rest of layout lines We can review the teaser video to understand what we are facing. As soon as the video starts (second 2) we can see that incorporates shark fin antenna and the roof is black.
Next (second 4) they show part of the roof spoiler including third brake light. The sequence plane changes and the LED light signature appears vertically on the front in succession with the rest of the optics that will be counted on its front. In the second 9 it uncovers its alloy wheels and when passing to the second 10 it reveals through its glass roof the 30-inch curved central touch screen. The video ends by showing its entire front in black.
If all goes according to plan, the Escalade IQ will debut on August 9...
Once we have seen the main design elements that these teasers show, we will tell you when the new Cadillac Escalade IQ will debut. If the plans of the Yankee brand are on the right track the date set for its debut will be next August 9. In the official press release published by the brand we can read that…
"As the The brand's first all-electric full-size SUV, ESCALADE IQ represents the reinvention of Cadillac's most iconic nameplate."
In addition, throughout the teaser video we have been able to read a message that will surely please the most fans of the brand.
"Built in Detroit, revealed in NYC"
The letter "Designed in Detroit, developed in New York City" reinforces the idea that General Motors creates and manufactures models in the US for customers in the US and around the world.. In fact, the new Escalade IQ will be manufactured at the Factory ZERO Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, which was renovated thanks to a powerful investment of 2,2 billion dollars to become the launch pad for GM's EV strategy.
Now the question is to know if General Motors will dare and bring some units to Europe… We will see.
