However, there is a catch – these images are not of the real 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Sport. Instead, the actual full-size electric SUV was presented online and in New York City solely in subtle hues of silver.
This August is turning hotter than any summer month for the automotive world. Toyota started raising the heat with the worldwide presentation of the magnificent 2024 Land Cruiser – dubbed Prado or 250 across various regions because of its affiliation with the light-duty series that branched out with the J70 in 1990.
Then Hyundai turned up the dial with its radically-styled, boxy 2024 Santa Fe mid-size three-row crossover SUV, which premiered both online and (where else) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a select audience before hitting the Los Angeles Auto Show this fall for the first public presentation. It's going to rock turbo powertrains – electrified or not – and also an adventurous XRT Concept trim aside from ritzy stuff like the Calligraphy grade.
But, of course, the most important American introduction ahead of the numerous premieres set for this year's edition of Monterey Car Week was Cadillac's introduction of the first-ever all-electric Escalade IQ. Take a good look at this Ultium-powered full-size SUV and note that even if the general allure is all Escalade, it has little to do with its ICE-powered sibling and more to do with the GMC Hummer EV SUV cousin.
Albeit, it does come with some cool upgrades like the 200+ kWh 24-module Ultium battery and 800-volt DC fast charging architecture which gives a much more impressive 450-mile (724 km) estimated range. The company will sell it with 24-inch wheels from the get-go, as well as with up to 750 hp (Velocity Max) and an 8,000-pound towing capability. But what if that is not enough?
Some people do not feel their Cadillac Escalade is complete unless the aftermarket realm also intervenes – even if only to change the color or provide a different set of alloy wheels. And, of course, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators has noticed that. So, here's Nikita Chuicko, the virtual artist better known as kelsonik on social media, who thinks now is the right CGI time to fuel our aftermarket Escalade IQ dreams.
That is mainly because he has made a habit and a virtual series out of preparing some upgrades for the latest models presented worldwide. Regarding the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ, there are several new colors like white, crimson, green, or black. The latter works exceptionally well with the black-painted, alternative 24-inch wheels from Brixton Forged if you want to mix the popular 'murdered-out' look with something that can hide the massive EV's humongous proportions.
So, you already know our pick, but which is your favorite CGI transformation of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ?
