Cadillac's biggest SUV—and biggest moneymaker—is getting the electric treatment, and the company has now confirmed what it will be called. The Escalade IQ will be the first EV version of the luxury brand's grandest SUV, and it will be officially introduced on August 9.

Along with confirming the name, which had been rumored since GM trademarked the name Escalade IQ and Escalade IQL back in 2021, Cadillac released a teaser image that shows a close-up of the electric model's badge. The company today has also released a second teaser image, this time of the new EV Escalade's front end, which is shrouded in darkness but provides a glimpse of its lighting signature.

Other than that, we're still waiting on more details about it, including an official reveal date. The rendering at the top of this story at least provides an idea of what the Escalade EV might look like.
