Why this car stands out
This vehicle is ideal for luxury buyers who prioritize electric performance, cutting-edge technology, and substantial passenger and cargo space for family adventures or executive transport.
Strengths
Decadent interior with a plush ride and impressive electric range of 460 miles.
Powerful dual-motor electric powertrain delivering up to 750 horsepower in Velocity Max mode.
Expansive 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display and advanced technology like standard Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance.
Exceptional maneuverability for its size, aided by four-wheel steering.
Generous maximum cargo space of 125.2 cubic feet, complemented by an additional 12.2 cubic feet in the front eTrunk.
Tradeoffs
Extremely heavy curb weight of over 9,000 pounds can impact dynamic performance and overall efficiency.
Rear visibility may be compromised due to the vehicle's design.
The third-row seating, while improved in the IQL, may still feel less spacious than expected for such a large SUV.
The abundance of cutting-edge technology might be overwhelming for some users.
No real leather option is currently available for the interior.
What you might regret
Those seeking a nimble driving experience, who are sensitive to vehicle size and weight, or prefer a simpler, less tech-intensive cabin might find this vehicle less appealing.
