For an additional $54,995, a select number of Cadillac ESCALADE IQ owners will gain access to a concierge-led design experience previously reserved for the brand’s CELESTIQ program. The new service, called Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ, moves the all-electric SUV into a more personal space, built around direct collaboration with company designers.
The program extends the logic of the hand-built CELESTIQ to the brand’s flagship SUV. “Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ gives clients the chance to create a vehicle that reflects their individual taste by working alongside expert Cadillac designers,” said Kristian Aquilina, vice president of Global Cadillac.
Each client is assigned a dedicated design concierge who works with them and their dealer to manage the customization. The process includes guided configurator sessions built around specific inspirations and personas to keep the personalization intentional.
A New Level of Customization
The options are extensive. Clients can choose from a palette of more than 160 premium exterior colors. The finishes include solids, metallics, tri-coats, and more specialist frosts and mattes. One preproduction model was shown in a combination of Selene Luxe Frost, Tigerlilly, and Manhattan Metallic.
Inside, the choices expand to 44 colors for creating combinations across all three rows of seating, the center console, and the floor mats. An interior shot of a concept vehicle showed a cabin finished in Vecchio with accents of Sheer Gray and Santorini Blue.
The underlying vehicle remains the Escalade IQ, with its estimated 465 miles of range and a 55-inch Horizon display. With Velocity Max engaged, the SUV produces up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds.
The Artisan Center
Every Curated by Cadillac ESCALADE IQ will be hand-painted and hand-built by artisans for the 2027 model year. The work will take place at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan. Each vehicle receives a unique VIN and an exclusive serialized builder’s badge, confirming its place in the ultra-low volume series.
The program is available for vehicles sold in the U.S. and Canada, with deliveries expected to begin in the second half of 2027. A concept version will be on display at The Quail, a motorsports gathering in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on August 14, 2026.
