Why this matters
For luxury EV buyers, this program turns the ESCALADE IQ from a mass-produced SUV into a one-of-one commission, with a dedicated concierge and hand-painted finishes. It also shows how Cadillac is using exclusivity—and a $54,995 package fee—to differentiate its electric flagship in the U.S. and Canada, where the vehicle will be sold starting in the second half of 2027.
