Hey, why let Porsche and Ferrari rake in the dough with personalization programs likeSonderwunschandTailor Madewhen you can expand theCelestiqbuild experience to the quintessential nameplate in baller SUVs? Thus, the Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ, which will be hand-built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, and add $54,995 to the price of your normcore Escalade IQ.
As with the Celestiq, Curated by Cadillac buyers get the concierge experience when it comes to speccing out their new electric leviathan. And perhaps you’d want some advice when there are more than 160 exterior paint choices and 44 interior colors, among other possibilities. Each vehicle will get a badge denoting its specialness, although we’d guess the hand-painted body will do most of the work on that front.
The Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ will go into production in the second half of 2027, but interested parties can get an earlier look on August 14 at The Quail, where Cadillac will show a concept vehicle.
