Cadillac Escalade IQ
The Escalade IQ reinterprets the Escalade—a model long positioned as a flashy full-sized SUV—as a supersized electric SUV. Everything about this model is big and bold, from its exterior dimensions and giant dash display to its massive battery and prodigious power output. It measures about a foot longer than an Escalade, and it wears 24-inch wheels. The EV powertrain employs two motors, good for 750 hp, and a large 200-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. It uses an 800-volt architecture, which facilitates pumping up to 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes in public DC fast chargers, the company says. The seven-seat SUV can be fitted with an optional Executive Second-Row package that turns passenger space into business class, with a stowable tray table, 12.6-inch screens, massaging seats, and more.
Price: $127,700-$175,000
On sale: Late 2024

Cadillac Vistiq
The Vistiq occupies the space between Cadillac’s two other electric SUVs—the midsized 2-row Lyriq and the full-sized Escalade IQ. Like the larger model, the Vistiq comes standard with a dual-motor electric drivetrain, albeit with less power, a lower 300-mile range, and a drastically smaller price. Stylistically, it features a rather conventional Cadillac SUV look adorned with a printed circuit board faux grille panel and some digitally inspired filigree printed on the rear quarter windows. It comes standard with Super Cruise, Cadillac’s impressive driver assistance technology that adds hands-free driving capability to the adaptive cruise control system. The second- and third-row seats can be folded for more cargo space, and there are storage spaces in the cargo floor and all four doors.
Price: $78,790-$120,000
On sale: Summer 2025

Dodge Charger
The next-generation Charger is offered in both coupe and sedan configurations, with a choice of electric or gas-only powertrains. The electric car is known as the Charger Daytona, and it’s initially packaged as an R/T with 496 hp and a 317-mile range, and the Scat Pack with 670 hp and a 260-mile range. A higher-performance Banshee will follow. For traditionalists, there’s also a twin-turbocharged inline-six engine available with 420 or 550 hp. Each engine is coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Every Charger comes with all-wheel drive. Also new, whether it’s a two-door or a four-door, this Charger is a hatchback with a folding rear seat. The modern cabin makes use of screens for gauges, controls, and customization, with many performance settings available.
Electric price: $59,595-$73,100, gas: $45,000-$70,000 (estimated)
On sale: Now, electric; late-2025, gas-only

Ford Expedition
The 2025 redesigned Ford Expedition has the same dimensions and overall look as the previous version. Fans will recognize the roomy interior and boxy proportions but notice slightly smoother exterior styling and more tech features inside. The instrument panel is a 24-inch digital display that sits between the bottom of the windshield and the top of a large center infotainment screen. A new Tremor trim adds off-road touches such as larger tires, a taller stance, skid plates, and a host of electronic off-roading aids originally introduced on the Ford Bronco. A host of active driver assistance features are standard, and Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving assistance feature is optional.
Price: $60,000-$85,000 (estimated)
On sale: Late 2024
