2026 Cadillac Escalade IQL

American manufacturer Cadillac has unveiled the largest version of its Escalade SUV, the Escalade IQL. It is an extended version of the all-electric Escalade IQ model, with a length of over 5.8 meters. Production will start in mid-2025.

At first glance, it cannot be said that Cadillac has changed much. However, the Escalade IQL brings something new that can be distinguished from the Escalade IQ model, such as the new design of the C and D pillars, large side windows placed behind the rear doors, and a slightly different (flatter) rear end.

The Escalade IQL is 5,803 millimeters long, which means that it is 107 millimeters longer than the Escalade IQ, and 38 millimeters longer than the Escalade ESV, but with the same wheelbase of 3,460 millimeters. It will be available in four equipment packages, which include the Super Cruise autonomous driving system, AKG Studio audio system with 21 speakers and a 55-inch digital instrument and multimedia system with a wide screen. Passengers in the third row of seats now have even more legroom (932 millimeters), and the luggage compartment has been increased to 3,546 liters.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Escalade IQL is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 760 hp and 1,063 Nm of torque. This is enough to push the car from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 4.7 seconds, and thanks to the 205 kWh battery, it will offer a range of 740 kilometers. It is mounted on a set of 24-inch wheels.

Stellantis announced the new generation of Jeep Compass

Stellantis owns 14 brands, some of which are becoming unprofitable for one of the largest conglomerates in the world, but the group is trying to get out of it and keep them all. One of the brands that recorded a 9% drop last year is Jeep, but the company is announcing a new generation of Jeep Compass.

What we know so far is that the new Compass will be based on the STLA Medium platform, which is also used by several models from the group such as the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, Opel Grandland, DS 7 and the new Citroen C5 Aircross.

Jeep has released a teaser that shows that the new Compass will have a standard seven-slat front grille, new headlights like those on the Recon model, and new taillights with LED graphics.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Compass will be offered as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric. Stellantis also claims that the new Compass will have best-in-class performance and cutting-edge technology.

The European version will enter production later this year and will be assembled at the Meifi plant in Italy. In the meantime, production at the Brampton plant in Canada has been halted while Stellantis reviews its product strategy for North America.

2026 Volvo ES90

As previously announced, Volvo has officially launched its new electric car, the Volvo ES90. With this model, the Swedish manufacturer wants to return to the market race with models like the BMW i5 and Mercedes-Benz EQE.

The ES90 is built on the SPA2 platform with 800-volt technology, and equipped with advanced air suspension and an active chassis that ensure ultimate comfort while driving. Its design is reminiscent of the Polestar 2, with a roofline that gently slides back and merges with the tailgate and C-shaped LED taillights. On the front part are T-shaped daytime running lights.

The interior, which is quieter than ever before, is made of sustainable materials and natural colors, and is inspired by Scandinavian nature. In front of the driver is a 9-inch screen, four-zone climate control, a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins stereo, and a 14.5-inch central touchscreen. It is powered by superfast infotainment processors, provides access to many Google applications and supports the 5G network. The car is equipped with the highest level of safety and uses internal and external sensors. The ES90 is also the most aerodynamic Volvo model with a drag coefficient of 0.25.

The ES90 also has a dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin configuration that can process over 500 trillion operations per second. It also allows for over-the-air upgrades, which will improve the car’s capabilities over time.

When it comes to the powertrain, the ES90 will be offered in three variants. The version with a single motor and 329 hp has rear-wheel drive. It is equipped with a 92.0 kWh (88.0 kWh usable) battery pack that provides a range of 400 miles. The version with two motors has 442 horsepower, has a larger battery pack and range of 435 miles.

The most powerful version is the ES90 Twin Motor Performance, powered by two electric motors with a total output of 670 hp, has a 106 kWh battery pack and a range of 700 km (435 miles). The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent capacity in about 20 minutes thanks to a fast charger. It reaches 62 mph in 4 seconds with a top speed of 112 mph.
