Cadillac Will Produce an IQL, an Extended-Wheel Version of the Escalade IQ

We already know that the Cadillac Escalade will go electric and carry the Escalade IQ name. Now, the luxury automaker has confirmed that a longer version, called IQL, will also be produced. 

This is not very surprising, since the regular version of the Escalade is also sold in a stretched configuration, the ESV (Escalade Stretch Vehicle) model. 

The news of a stretched version of the electric SUV came via Car and Driver, which spoke with a Cadillac representative at the Chicago Auto Show. 

The manufacturer is not saying yet when the model might launch, but it did suggest media stay tuned - new information will be forthcoming shortly.
