DRIVING THE $200K ELECTRIC BEAST: 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Sport 2 Review | 750HP Silent Muscle Car

Experience the future of American luxury with the groundbreaking 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Sport 2 – the first fully electric iteration of Cadillac's flagship SUV. Join me as I put this 750-horsepower electric leviathan through its paces to discover if GM's $200,000 luxury EV gamble pays off. With supercar-rivaling acceleration, next-generation tech, and uncompromising luxury, the Escalade IQ represents Cadillac's boldest statement yet in the premium electric SUV segment.

I'll take you through every aspect of this technological powerhouse – from its stunning interior and sophisticated driver assistance features to its surprising handling capabilities and real-world electric range implications.
