Cadillac Escalade IQ Driving

Regen On Demand & One-Pedal Driving Features

Regen On Demand

Operated by the driver using a pressure-sensitive paddle located alongside the steering wheel, this revolutionary technology gives you the ability to slow down or even bring your Escalade IQ to a complete stop. While braking, this kinetic energy is recaptured and stored in the form of electric power within the onboard battery pack to be developed at a later time.

One-Pedal Driving

Using just the accelerator, the Cadillac Escalade IQ can gradually brake or even arrive at a full stop. Similar to Regen On Demand, the stored electric power within the battery pack can be activated at a later time for improved efficiency.


*On a full charge. Actual range may vary based on several factors, including ambient temperature, terrain, battery age and condition, loading, and how you use and maintain your vehicle.
