While all the details about this upcoming luxury SUV aren’t known, it will be produced in Michigan and will be outfitted with GM’s top-of-the-line Ultium batteries.
Whether it does well against other luxury EVs will depend primarily on battery range, drivability, and price. While we don’t have all the details, here’s a tantalizing look at the 2025 electric Escalade.
The electric Escalade’s 3 motors
In addition to its three powerful electric motors, the electric Escalade will likely have all-wheel and rear-wheel drive availability, as well as an integrated drivetrain made with silicon carbide to reduce the vehicle’s curb weight.
While we haven’t been given any sneak peeks at what might be under the hood of the electric Escalade, it’s unlikely that GM is going to skimp on power when it comes to their flagship Cadillac.
An Ultium battery could offer a 400-plus mile range
Battery range is often cited as one of the limiting factors in people’s unwillingness to purchase an EV, so if Cadillac wants the electric Escalade to sell, they’re going to need to offer drivers an extended battery range that matches the mpg rating of an ICE Escalade.
Compared to the Range Rover EV, the electric Escalade may trounce its overseas opponent. Autoweek predicts the Range Rover EV will likely only have a 300-mile battery range and offer (only) 600-plus horsepower. In terms of price, they’ll likely be closely met, starting north of $100,000.
