Cadillac has extended its Curated by Cadillac customization program to the all-electric Escalade IQ, with the package priced at $54,995 before the vehicle’s own MSRP, tax, title, license and dealer fees. The Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ will be hand-built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, for model year 2027, and Cadillac says the program opens millions of available design combinations to clients. Deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2027.
Highlights
- The package carries a $54,995 MSRP, separate from the vehicle MSRP, tax, title, license and dealer fees. The dealer sets the final price.
- Clients choose from more than 160 exterior colors and finishes, including solids, metallics, tri-coats, frosts and mattes.
- An expanded interior palette of up to 44 colors can be combined across all three rows of seating, the center console and the floor mats.
- Vehicles are hand-built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, for model year 2027, and will be sold in the U.S. and Canada.
What the Program Covers
Cadillac positions Curated by Cadillac as a concierge-led commissioning process rather than a conventional options package. A dedicated design concierge works with the client and the client’s dealer to guide the customization, and the company says the client journey includes design consultation delivered through inspiration materials, personas and guided configurator sessions.
According to Cadillac, each vehicle is hand-painted to the brand’s appearance and quality standards, hand-built by artisans, marked with a unique VIN and a serialized builder’s badge, and offered in ultra-low volume. The company says the program also carries Cadillac materials and warranty support.
Preproduction examples shown by Cadillac include an exterior specified in Selene Luxe Frost, Tigerlilly and Manhattan Metallic, and an interior in Vecchio with Sheer Gray and Santorini Blue accents.
How Cadillac Frames the Program
“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, Global Cadillac. “We’re extending the hand-built CELESTIQ experience to deliver true customization capabilities for a select number of ESCALADE IQ clients.”
The reference is to the Cadillac Celestiq, the hand-built ultra-luxury sedan assembled at the same Warren campus, whose commissioning process established the concierge model Cadillac is now applying to a second vehicle line.
Build Location and Availability
Assembly runs at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, with vehicles assembled using U.S. and globally sourced parts. Cadillac will sell the vehicle in the U.S. and Canada, with deliveries expected in the second half of 2027.
A Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ concept will be on display at The Quail, a motorsports gathering in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on August 14, 2026. Additional program information is posted at cadillac.com/curatedbycadillac.
Powertrain and Technology Carried Over
The Curated package does not alter the Escalade IQ’s mechanical specification. Cadillac cites an estimated 465 miles of range, a figure the company bases on development testing and analytical projection consistent with SAE J1634 revision 2017 – MCT; an EPA estimate is not yet available and the figure is subject to change before production. Cadillac also cites up to 750 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Velocity Max, and a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds recorded on a closed course.
Cabin and connectivity content includes a 55-inch Horizon display measured diagonally, Super Cruise driver assistance backed by a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan, and vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging with compatible GM Energy products. The Escalade IQ has collected several industry awards since its 2025 model-year launch.
