Brand new for the 2025 lineup, the Cadillac Escalade IQ is an all-electric luxury SUV, and when we say luxury, we mean it. Cadillac spared no expense in making this BEV SUV one that you might just want to move into (really—its cabin is nicer than some NYC apartments). As a Cadillac dealer near Brooklyn Heights, we serve some of the most discerning customers, and the verdict is in—if you want to impress rear-seat passengers in a way that will leave them buzzing for weeks after riding in your SUV, you have to check out the Cadillac Escalade IQ. Cadillac created a never-before-seen package for this SUV called the Executive Second-Row Seating Package that puts every other luxury SUV to shame. Let’s take a look at the features you get with it.
Rear Power Open and Close Doors
Here’s something you’ve probably never seen on an SUV before: automatic open-and-close power doors. Maybe you’ve seen power sliding doors on minivans, but you shouldn’t have to drive a minivan to enjoy this perk, right? And you don’t have to. With the Executive Second-Row Seating Package, all four doors will open automatically when they sense the driver’s keyfob approaching. Then, when everyone is in, they’ll close.
The door system even has radar built in to prevent the doors from hitting neighboring objects, so it’s ready for those notoriously tight NYC parking spaces. It’s like having personal attendants with you everywhere you go. So when the restaurant on Court Street sadly doesn’t have a valet, at least someone will still open your door for you (well, something will). Just be warned: after you’ve had this feature, you might find yourself instinctively waiting for the doors to open automatically in other vehicles.
A Rear Control Center
Adult rear-seat passengers don’t want to have to ask the driver every time they need a temperature adjustment. If you’re picking up important clients from La Guardia and taking them to Brooklyn Heights or showing them around the city, you don’t want them to ask for permission to cool down on a hot New York City summer day or warm up on a winter one. The Executive Second Row Seating Package gives second-row passengers their own personal rear command center screen where they can easily adjust their row’s cabin climate, as well as adjust their seat settings. Now that’s a VIP experience.
Heated, Ventilated, and Massaging Seats
Why should only front-row passengers get all the pleasures of a luxury SUV? With the Executive Second-Row Seating Package, second-row passengers get heated, ventilated, and massaging seats. You read that correctly. Not only do they get full-body warmth on winter days and a full-body, refreshing breeze on hot ones, but they also get massaging seats. It’s very rare to find massaging seats for rear-seat passengers, and if you are transporting people to whom you want to give VIP treatment, these seats will get the job done. When there’s no time to stop at one of the many massage parlors in the city between appointments, just activate this function.
Massaging seats can also lull irritated passengers into placated ones. Battling New York City traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge heading into Manhattan is enough to make anyone’s blood boil. If you’re already running late to an important meeting or that Broadway show you paid an arm and a leg for tickets to, backseat passengers can get aggravated quickly. However, when they have massaging seats, they might just ask you to go around the block a few more times before you park.
Stowable Tray Tables
Is this the first-class cabin in an airplane? Nope, it’s just the first-class experience you get with the IQ version of the Cadillac Escalade. Second-row passengers get stowable tray tables with the Executive Second-Row Seating Package. So when your clients or colleagues need to get work done on the road, they won’t have to hunch over a laptop that’s resting on the tops of their thighs to do so. They can put that laptop on the stowable trays and work in a comfortable, dignified manner. These trays also come in handy when it’s time to enjoy some lunch on the road between appointments and engagements. When they aren’t needed, they easily stow away for a spacious cabin feel.
Rear Entertainment Screens
Cadillac keeps the first-class experience going with the dual 12.6-inch personal infotainment screens perched on the backs of the first-row headrests for second-row passengers. When they want to put their laptops away for the day (to avoid the temptation to keep checking emails), your second-row passengers can enjoy streaming shows and movies on these entertainment screens. Naturally, adult and child passengers alike will enjoy having these. Whether you want to keep grownups content during rush hour or kids happy on the way home from school to Brooklyn Heights, these screens will go to good use.
Headrest Speakers (and an Amazing Sound System)
In some SUVs, sitting in the back can mean not hearing the audio very well. That won’t be an issue in the Escalade IQ because second-row passengers get speakers built into their headrests with the Executive Second-Row Seating Package. Pair that with the available AKG Studio Reference 40-speaker sound system, and your rear-seat passengers will feel like they’re at the live recording of the songs you play and sitting right there in the room for the live reading of audiobooks. Whether you need to replay an audio recording of a meeting to prepare for a presentation or want to help everyone unwind after the big presentation, this sound system will drown out distractions.
Dual Wireless Phone Charging Pads, USB-C, and HDMI
Forget the days when your rear-seat passengers had to pass cords and wires up to the front-seat passenger, requesting a charge. With the Executive Second-Row Seating Package, your rear passengers enjoy dual wireless phone charging pads, so they can power up devices without any cords. If they want to plug in, they’ll find they have USB-C and HDMI ports. USB-C is the newest USB standard that is replacing USB-A and USB-B ports because it can do all of the things prior ones did but offers faster data rates and quicker charging. If you drive passengers who need to stay connected and get work done on the road, they’ll love this power center.
