Overview
- Cadillac announced the Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ program on Tuesday, offering a concierge-driven commissioning service for a select number of buyers.
- The Curated package costs $54,995 on top of the vehicle price and gives access to more than 160 exterior finishes and up to 44 interior color and trim options.
- Each special-order Escalade IQ will be pulled from the Hamtramck line and hand-painted and hand-built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, with a unique VIN and a serialized builder’s badge.
- Cadillac says the models will be sold in ultra-low numbers in the United States and Canada, with deliveries targeted to begin in the second half of 2027 and a Curated concept due at Monterey Car Week on August 14.
- The program extends the Celestiq commissioning approach to an SUV and raises costs and labor intensity compared with typical extended-palette programs, which could reshape how the brand serves very high-end EV buyers and dealers.
