The Cadillac Escalade IQ already sits at the high end of the electric SUV market, but a new personalization program takes customization much further. Called Curated by Cadillac, the program adds nearly $55,000 to the vehicle’s price and gives buyers a much wider range of exterior and interior choices.
Curated by Cadillac adds $54,995 to the price of a standard Escalade IQ. Buyers can choose from more than 160 exterior paint colors and 44 interior color combinations, creating far more possibilities than Cadillac’s regular lineup.
The program also follows the customization approach used with the Cadillac Celestiq. Customers receive a concierge-style consultation to help select the vehicle’s specifications. Each Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ will also receive a dedicated badge, while the hand-painted finish will provide another visual distinction.
Hand-Built in Michigan
Cadillac plans to build these specially configured Escalade IQ models by hand at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan. Production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027.
Before production starts, Cadillac will present a Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ concept at The Quail on August 14, giving attendees an early look at the program.
The pricing places the customization package in a different category from ordinary factory options. The $54,995 fee covers access to a highly personalized build, while the final vehicle cost will depend on the Escalade IQ configuration itself.
Curated by Cadillac expands the Escalade IQ beyond standard factory configurations with hand-painted finishes, extensive color choices, and concierge assistance. For buyers seeking a highly individualized electric SUV, the program creates a new customization tier within Cadillac’s lineup.
