-
55-Inch Curved LED Display: Dominating the dashboard, this massive screen offers exceptional pixel density and integrates Google’s built-in infotainment system, compatible with the apps you already use.
-
Four-Wheel Steering: Thanks to this technology, the IQ’s turning circle is reduced by 1.8 metres compared with the standard Escalade, making it easier to manoeuvre and park in Canadian city centres.
-
Arrival and Departure Mode: The adaptive air suspension can lower or raise the vehicle by up to 50 mm as needed, making it easier for passengers to get in and out or optimizing ground clearance in snow.
-
Super Cruise (Hands-Free Driving): The truly hands-free driving assistance system is available on more than 640,000 kilometres of compatible roads across North America, including major Canadian highways.
