The addition makes it clear that Hyundai is committed to using electrification to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the automotive space and represents a transformative moment for enthusiasts waiting for groundbreaking innovations.

President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, Jaehoon Chang, says that the association of the IONIQ and the N brand represents a significant milestone. EVs now represent the pinnacle of performance in the automotive sector, with key developments strengthening the company’s competitiveness in an increasingly saturated market.

To sell the IONIQ 5 N to the public, Hyundai emphasizes three key pillars: “Everyday Sportscar,” “Racetrack Capability,” and “Corner Rascal.” The Everyday Sportscar element aims to make the IONIQ 5 N a vehicle drivers can use regularly.

2025 Escalade IQ EV is Revealed
First All-Electric Full-Size SUV from Cadillac

The 2025 Escalade IQ brings a new level of luxury to the EV market and signifies Cadillac’s move towards a more sustainable and technologically advanced future.

The vehicle brings groundbreaking innovations, a bold design, and breathtaking craftsmanship, setting a new standard for luxury SUVs in the EV space.

Unbeatable Range And Performance

Cadillac estimates that the new Escalade IQ will offer over 450 miles of range, putting it on par with the brand’s gas-powered vehicles. Long-distance batteries reduce range anxiety and reduce recharging needs mid-trip, accelerating EV adoption.

High-energy cells also mean the vehicle can generate up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque for eye-watering performance. Drivers can accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in under 5 seconds and tow more than 8,000 pounds, sufficient for a large caravan or trailer.

At the core of the car’s performance is Cadillac’s Ultium batteries. These contribute to the vehicle’s impressive range and power and its safety and strength in the event of a collision. The heady combination of safety and performance makes the SUV a one-of-a-kind offering on the Canadian market.

Revolutionary Super Cruise For Hands-Free Driving

The Escalade IQ comes equipped with Super Cruise, the only fully hands-free driver assistance system available on the North American market. The technology facilitates a no-hands driving experience over more than 400,000 miles of compatible Canadian and U.S. roads, taking driver convenience to a new level. The LiDAR, camera, radar and GPS-supported technology keeps the vehicle in its lane while monitoring the driver, ensuring they can take over at the appropriate time.

Besides Super Cruise, Cadillac equips the Escalade IQ with various active safety and driver assistance features, further reducing collision risk. For instance, Blind Zone Steering Assist prevents collision with cars on the vehicle’s flanks, while Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking stops crashes with cars that fail to stop at signals at crossroads. The HD Surround Vision is an additional welcome feature, offering drivers peace of mind and ensuring safe and enjoyable journeys.

Future-Focused Design And Styling

Besides impressive performance and safety technology, the Escalade IQ also boasts a future-focused and innovative design. The aesthetic masterpiece gives drivers presence and character on the road. Designers began with a blank slate and committed to creating something familiar and futuristic. The result is a car with a sleek interior and muscular stance that deftly combines luxury with elegance.

Finally, Cadillac made the Escalade IQ a vehicle with sustainability at its core. The company’s first full-size all-electric SUV generates zero tailpipe emissions and comes with bidirectional charging capacity, allowing owners to power their homes from the car’s battery pack.
