How big will the cargo space be in the new Escalade IQ?
The 2025 Escalade IQ should have the following cargo spaces:
- Behind third row: 23.7 cubic feet
- Behind second row: 69.1 cubic feet
- Behind first row: 119.2 cubic feet

- Third row: 30.1 inches
With so much space and legroom, you should expect a comfortable interior with great space. Along with the space, you should anticipate high-end materials like leather wrapped seats, 126-color LED ambient lighting, headrest speakers, polished aluminum accents, second-row captain’s chairs, and 60/40 split power bench for the third row. More features are possible, but these are the features that Cadillac has released so far.
The biggest and most anticipated changes will be the technology of the new IQ. The front row will get a 55-inch diagonal LED display that covers the whole dashboard with a 11.0-inch touchscreen (with two small knobs) to adjust climate and ambient lighting. You can also get an Executive Second Row package that comes with two additional 12.6-inch rear-headrest touchscreens for the passengers in the second-row captain’s chairs.
Along with this package, you can get a 40-speaker AKG sound system. The system will run on Google software and come with features like Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Pay; however, the IQ will not come with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Overall, you shouldn’t be disappointed with the technology of the new Escalade IQ.
What kind of cargo space does the 2024 Hummer EV SUV have?
The Hummer EV SUV has the following cargo spaces:
- Behind second row: 36.0 cubic feet
- Behind front row: 82 cubic feet
- eTrunk (front trunk): 11 cubic feet
In the 2024 Hummer EV SUV, the decision to forego a third row in favor of two spacious rows doesn't compromise on the blend of luxury and ruggedness. The Edition 1 trim exudes opulence with its leather-stitched surfaces and bronze accents, which harmonizes with the futuristic ambiance of the cabin. Despite the absence of a third row, the interior remains generously spacious, which is complemented by a capacious cargo area. Adding a touch of innovation, the Infinity Roof features four transparent sky panels, which elevates the driving experience.
Technological advancements abound in the cabin and are highlighted by a 13.4-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a host of other intuitive applications. Catering to varied preferences, a 14-speaker sound system and a built-in 6.0kW generator are also onboard.
What kind of range will the 2025 Escalade IQ have?
The new Escalade IQ will have an estimated range of about 450 miles with a MPGe of 59. With a dual-motor AWD setup, you should expect to get 750 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque thanks to the IQ’s Velocity Max mode; however, you should get 680 hp and 615 lb-ft of torque in Normal mode.
The max towing for the IQ is about 8,000 pounds. It also has a 800-volt DC fast charger with 350 kW charging rate, which is quite fast for an EV. With this capability, the IQ can get 100 miles of range in 10 minutes, but a normal public charge will only give you 37 miles of range per hour.
A rumor among car enthusiasts is that Cadillac will make an IQ V, which would put Hummer EV’s tri-motor system inside the IQ and give it 830 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque, but this setup would bring the range down to 300 miles. As for safety, the IQ should come with the following standard features: blind-zone steering assist, head-up display, automatic emergency braking, rear pedestrian alert, front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, HD surround vision, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, three-year OnStar plan, auto high beams, and Cadillac Smart System.
What’s the 2024 Hummer EV SUV’s range?
Thanks to its cutting-edge Ultium battery technology and an 800-volt electrical system, the Hummer EV SUV has an impressive range of 329–381 miles. Charging at a 350-kW station, it can gain 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes just like the IQ will. Its three electric motors deliver around 1,000 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque, which enables breathtaking acceleration from 0–60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. Despite its power, it maintains efficiency with approximately 59 MPGe in the city and 48 MPGe on the highway.
Equipped with a 4WD system, the Hummer EV SUV gives precise torque distribution across all wheels, which improves its off-road prowess. Innovative features like Extract Mode and CrabWalk mode demonstrate its adaptive air suspension system, which provides a comfortable ride on highways while adeptly handling off-road challenges. Safety is paramount, and features such as hands-free driving, automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive control guarantee security on all types of journeys.
