Cadillac launched the all-electric long-body flagship SUV, the Escalade IQL, in Korea on May 22.

The Escalade IQL builds on the exceptional performance of the Escalade IQ, unveiled last November, featuring an extended length and a more spacious interior.

It comes standard with the 'Super Cruise' feature, allowing drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel while maintaining attention on the road. This advanced driver assistance system from General Motors (GM) is currently available on approximately 23,000 kilometers of highways and major roads in Korea.

With a length of 5,820 mm and a wheelbase of 3,460 mm, the Escalade IQL is the longest electric SUV currently sold in Korea, offering impressive body proportions and ample interior space. The vehicle's body is 105 mm longer than the Escalade IQ, providing more room in the third row and increased cargo capacity.

The driver’s area features a 55-inch Horizon Curved LED display (35 inches for the driver and 20 inches for the passenger), creating a stunning visual experience for passengers. The executive seats in the second row, equipped with massage functions, enhance the luxurious riding experience.

The Escalade IQL is powered by a 205 kWh large-capacity battery, certified to provide a driving range of 710 km on a single charge (combined standard). Its electronic four-wheel steering system offers agility that surpasses typical large SUVs.

Additionally, it features Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, which detects road conditions up to 1,000 times per second to adjust damping in real-time, and an adaptive air ride suspension that automatically adjusts the ride height based on driving conditions, enhancing safety.

A representative from Korea GM stated, "The newly launched Escalade IQL stands out with its long body, making it the longest electric SUV in the domestic market. Customers can experience first-class comfort and outstanding driving performance as soon as they take delivery."

According to the Korea Automobile Importers and Distributors Association (KAIDA), 128 units of the Cadillac Escalade were sold in the first quarter of this year, placing it among the top sellers in the domestic luxury large SUV market.
