Landmark Cadillac – How Super Cruise and Charging Make the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Ownership Effortless Around Champaign, IL
The first-ever all-electric Escalade is more than a statement piece—it is a thoughtfully engineered luxury SUV that makes every mile easier. Two technologies stand out for daily life and long-distance escapes alike: Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance and a flexible charging ecosystem designed for home, work, and the open road. Together, they transform how you plan, drive, and unwind, whether your day takes you across campus streets, through farmland highways, or into city centers.
Super Cruise® comes standard on Escalade IQ with an OnStar® Super Cruise plan for three years, enabling compatible-road use for hands-free driving and, when equipped, automatic lane change and trailering capability. It uses a precision map, camera monitoring, and LiDAR-based road data to maintain a safe following gap and assist with steering—freeing you to relax your grip while keeping your attention on the drive. For long interstate runs or multi-hour trips, Super Cruise® helps reduce fatigue without compromising control. When traffic builds, Adaptive Cruise Control works in harmony with driver-assist systems like Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, and HD Surround Vision to help you navigate with composure. Available Night Vision can even display a thermal image to highlight pedestrians and large animals directly ahead after dark.
Charging flexibility is just as polished. Escalade IQ supports public DC fast charging up to 350 kW, adding up to about 100 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes—ideal for quick top-offs during regional travel. At home, the standard 11.5 kW Level 2 AC charging module can add approximately 22 miles of range per hour, and the available 19.2 kW onboard charger can support up to about 36.5 miles per hour when properly equipped. A Dual Level Charge Cord delivers plug-and-play convenience by connecting to 120-volt Level 1 or 240-volt Level 2 outlets, giving you options when visiting friends, staying at a vacation home, or parking at the office.
The real magic appears when these systems work together. With the SUV’s Google built-in compatibility, you can plan routes in Google Maps that include charging stops, view station availability, and send the trip to the vehicle. 5G vehicle connectivity helps keep maps, apps, and profiles up to date, while the curved Pillar-to-Pillar 55-inch total diagonal LED display presents information with clarity. Regenerative braking adds efficiency and smoothness in traffic, and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension with Magnetic Ride Control keeps the ride remarkably composed while you glide through day-to-day errands or weekend getaways.
