The 2026 LYRIQ-V: The Quickest Cadillac Ever

Cadillac has always stood for the finest in American luxury, and a bold new program is taking that commitment to an entirely new level. Meet Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ, an ultra-exclusive, concierge-led customization experience that brings the hand-built artistry of the legendary CELESTIQ to Cadillac's all-electric flagship SUV. This is not a trim level or an options package. This is a genuinely bespoke vehicle, built to reflect the individual taste of a single client, guided every step of the way by Cadillac's expert design team. The scope of personalization available through the Curated by Cadillac program is genuinely extraordinary. Clients work with a dedicated design concierge who guides the entire customization journey from initial inspiration through final configuration, ensuring every choice is intentional and cohesive. On the exterior, clients can choose from more than 160 premium colors and finishes, spanning solids, metallics, tri-coats, frosts, and mattes, each hand-painted to Cadillac's most elevated quality standards. Inside, an expanded palette of up to 44 interior colors can be applied across all three rows of seating, the center console, and floor mats, creating a cabin environment that is truly one of a kind. Every Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ is marked with a unique VIN and an exclusive serialized builder's badge, ensuring that no two vehicles are alike and that each one carries the distinction of true handcrafted artistry. The ESCALADE IQ at the heart of this program is no ordinary electric vehicle. With a Cadillac-estimated 465 miles of range, up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max mode, and a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.7 seconds, it delivers the kind of effortless, commanding performance that ESCALADE owners expect and then some. A breathtaking 55-inch Horizon display keeps driver and passengers connected and informed, while Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology, backed by a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan, brings confidence to every mile. Available vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging with compatible GM Energy products makes daily charging as seamless as the rest of the ownership experience. Every Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ is hand-built at Cadillac's Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan for the 2027 model year, available in the U.S. and Canada with deliveries expected to begin in the second half of 2027. The Curated by Cadillac package is priced at $54,995, in addition to the vehicle MSRP. For those who want a preview of what is possible, a Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ concept was on display at The Quail in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California on August 14, 2026, one of the most prestigious automotive gatherings in the world.

The all-new Cadillac Elevated Velocity concept has been named Best Concept Vehicle for 2026 by EyesOn Design, an organization made up of leading automotive designers and educators. This marks the second consecutive year a Cadillac concept has earned the prestigious award, following the 2025 win for the Opulent Velocity concept.
