This Might Be the Cleanest Cadillac Escalade IQL Build Yet

Most customized Cadillac Escalades follow the same formula. Black paint, black wheels, dark tints, and just enough attitude to look like they belong in a convoy outside a nightclub or luxury hotel. This one goes in a completely different direction, and honestly, it works surprisingly well.

Built by Texas-based DESIGNBYTWM, this Escalade IQL trades stealth for something cleaner and far more attention-grabbing. The massive electric SUV wears a Satin Silver White Aluminum wrap that gives the body a smooth matte finish, which Cadillac itself does not offer. 

The details help pull everything together. Matte silver Giovanna wheels match the body perfectly, while the dark window tint and smoked taillights stop the build from looking overly flashy. It still has presence, just in a quieter, more expensive-looking way. And with the IQL stretching even longer than the already enormous Escalade IQ, subtlety was probably never an option anyway.

Underneath, nothing changes mechanically, though the numbers remain pretty absurd. The Escalade IQL packs a gigantic 205 kWh battery and dual electric motors producing 750 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque. That is enough muscle to move all 9,000 lbs of this rolling luxury apartment with surprising urgency.

DESIGNBYTWM has not revealed how much the modifications cost, but nobody was expecting bargain pricing here. The Cadillac Escalade IQL alone starts at $133,800 before options.
