Waido has dramatically transformed the Cadillac Escalade IQ with a custom widebody kit, giving this electric SUV a much more aggressive presence. Every panel has been reworked, turning it into a real head-turner. The redesigned front and rear fascias, combined with extensive use of carbon fiber, amplify the visual impact while maintaining its quiet, all-electric operation.
From Understated to Unforgettable
While Cadillac might have aimed for the Escalade IQ to be a subtle, eco-friendly family SUV, Waido’s makeover achieves the exact opposite. This widebody kit ensures the Escalade IQ commands attention, leaving subtlety far behind. It’s designed to grab eyeballs and spark conversations wherever it goes.
Worth A Look
A Closer Look at the Modifications
These images showcase renderings of the modified SUV. The transformation begins with a restyled front, featuring a spoiler lip that appears to skim the ground. Front air intakes add to the aggressive aesthetic, even though they’re not functionally necessary for the electric powertrain.
Wider, More Imposing Stance
The addition of fender flares, both at the front and rear, significantly broadens the Escalade IQ’s stance, making it look even more imposing on the road. It rides on unique aftermarket wheels, available in both gold and silver finishes to suit individual preferences.
Enhanced Aerodynamics (Visually)
Waido has also developed a redesigned rear bumper and an air diffuser, intended to improve airflow. While the Escalade IQ isn’t likely to hit the racetrack, these additions contribute to its sporty appearance. This SUV prioritizes space and comfort over track performance.
Dimensions and Performance
The Escalade IQ measures 224.3 inches long, 94.1 inches wide, and 76.1 inches tall, with a 136.2-inch wheelbase. Its dual-motor powertrain and substantial battery pack contribute to a hefty weight of around 9,000 pounds. Despite its size, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and complete a quarter mile in 13.0 seconds.
Impressive Battery and Power
Equipped with a 205-kWh battery pack, the Escalade IQ offers a range of up to 465 miles on a single charge. The electric powertrain delivers 750 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. Waido’s modifications focus solely on aesthetics, leaving the powertrain untouched.
Pricing and Availability
While pricing for the widebody kit hasn’t been announced, Waido’s Tesla Cybertruck widebody kit was priced at $9,990. Given the Escalade IQ’s luxury positioning and higher price tag (starting at $151,215), expect the widebody kit to command a premium.
