Cadillac's $130K Escalade IQ Has a User-Installed Cloth Roof Sunshade
The latest car news, reviews, and features. My colleague Joel Feder just spent a week road-testing the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ. That's a fully electric luxury land yacht with a list price of over $130,000. He liked the car a lot, with the exception of one glaring oversight hanging over the heads of its occupants: A sunroof you can only close with a janky folding cover like something you'd find in the clearance bin at AutoZone. Like many modern luxury vehicles, the Escalade IQ's roof is largely glass, making the cabin look roomy and breezy when the sunshine isn't too intense. In pictures, it looks pretty cool to me. But you will not find corporate pictures of the vehicle's sunshade in place, because it does not look like the kind of thing that should be OEM on a high-end luxury car. As a spokesperson for Cadillac explained to us: 'The fixed glass roof is darkly tinted and treated to provide shade and UV filtration, mitigating the need for a power sunshade. For customers that do want this option, they can choose the accessory sunshade which is easy to install.' Feder disagrees with GM's assessment of 'dark.' And he lives in Minnesota—who knew the sun even made it that far north? Jokes aside—Cadillac's sun solution here does look off-puttingly undercooked, especially for a very visually prominent feature in a car this expensive. But it's not just the look that's offensive—it's the user experience. Having to fold up and pack, then unpack, this stupid gigantic sun shield is going to be incredibly annoying for Escalade IQ owners. Plus, they'll also have to not lose it, the little plastic clips that absolutely easily fall off the large folding contraption, or let it get damaged as it rides around in its little storage bag. My theory about this is that Cadillac wanted to skip the power retractable roof to avoid the cost and weight penalty, but didn't realize the ceiling tinting was insufficient for blocking midday sun until it was too far along in the design process to make the change, leading to the quick development of this portable shade. Why this vehicle doesn't have an electromagnetic setup that electronically darkens or lightens the glass like in the upcoming budget-focused Nissan Leaf, Rivian R1S, or even Cadillac's own Celestiq, is unclear. On one hand, I do appreciate that an effort was made to rectify the situation. But the design-stage oversight here is a big one. It'll be interesting to see how owners feel about this after living with it. Once these things spend a few months and years getting tossed around the cargo hold, I have a feeling they're going to start looking pretty ragged. I bet one of the Escalade IQ's first refresh changes is either a much heavier tint on this window, or a electromagnetic tint like we've seen on the Rivian and Leaf with big ceiling-spanning glass pieces.

Cadillac Abandons All-EV Plan, Will Refresh XT5 Crossover
Cadillac is the brand that's leading General Motors into its electrified era. It already sells several electric vehicles, but it's not abandoning future buyers who might want a traditional gasoline engine. The automaker will refresh the XT5 for 2027, with plans to build it at General Motors' Spring Hill, Tennessee, factory. The Detroit Free Press obtained a memo that GM sent to the plant's local UAW stating the XT5 would 'continue as a next-generation gas vehicle beyond 2026.' GM confirmed the memo's authenticity to the publication. The interior of China's Cadillac XT5. Photo by: Cadillac The XT5 has been on sale since 2017, receiving a mid-cycle update for 2020. Despite its age, sales of the crossover increased by 4.6 percent, with 12,727 units sold. It's Cadillac's second-best-selling model behind the Escalade , so it's of little surprise the brand wants to keep it around. Cadillac is launching several new electric vehicles, but their outlook has only grown cloudier in recent months. Keeping a popular, gas-powered crossover makes sense in such uncertain times. It's unclear how the automaker will refresh the model. Light exterior and interior redesigns could be on the table, without making significant platform changes. Maybe it'll even have a hybrid powertrain, falling in line with competitors. It's possible Cadillac could simply borrow the design used by the XT5 in China (above). That's just a guess right now, as the company hasn't confirmed any details about the updated model. Either way, consumers will soon have a new XT5 with a gas engine to consider, even as the XT4 and XT6 disappear to make way for more electric vehicles. Cadillac is shifting, but also willing to adjust its plans as needed.

First Look: The 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport Is Moody, Blue
Infiniti would be tickled pink if they could divert someone headed in to buy a Cadillac Escalade to take a long look at their own full-size three-row luxury SUV, the 2026 Infiniti QX80. For a little while now Cadillac has offered its venerable 'Slade in buyers' choice of luxury or sport setups, with a couple options for each. Well, last year Infiniti thoroughly revamped the QX80, more extensively differentiating it from the Nissan Armada it's based on. But the available trim levels—Pure, Luxe, and Autograph—more or less aligned with the Escalade's Luxury, Premium, and Platinum packages. Well, for 2026 Infiniti throws down a gauntlet with the QX80 Sport. The 2026 Infiniti QX80 introduces a new Sport trim with darkened exterior features and a unique blue leather interior. It offers high-end features like a 24-speaker audio system that come at a high MSRP. The lineup ships in late summer 2025, aiming to compete with Cadillac's Escalade. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article. Read Next Dark and Brooding Borrowing from the Escalade's (and everyone else's) Sport playbook, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport (it's badged QX80 S 4WD) gets darkened exterior trim, mirror caps, lower bumper trim, roof rails, and emblems. The new grille is also darkened, the better to highlight the light-up Infiniti logo at its center, as are the front bumper and unique 22-inch wheels. Case of the Blues The only 'color' available on the 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport is Grand Blue, which should pair beautifully with the sole interior color option: Dusk Blue, with graphite on the pillars and headlining. Naturally, it's all semi-aniline leather, diamond-stitched for a Bentley vibe. Of course, if blue isn't your jam, non-color options include Mineral Black, Radiant White, and Dynamic Metal. Two-toning a black roof is optional for non-black QX80 S models. Mostly Loaded The QX80 S 4WD seems to be aiming for the upper end of the Escalade Sport lineup with its equipment loading, which borrows many features from the Autograph range topper, including its 24-speaker Klipsch audio system, fully climate-controlled front and second-row seats, massaging front thrones, open-pore ash wood trim, and biometric cooling (sensors determine when a particularly hot or cold passenger has climbed aboard and intensify airflow to bring them to ambient temperature more quickly). Sadly, hands-free ProPilot Assist 2.1 is not included. How Much and How Soon? The QX80 S 4WD will start at $104,140, undercutting the base Escalade Sport by $1,955 (and the Sport Platinum by $21,455). The whole 2026 lineup will begin shipping to dealers in late summer of 2025, with the base Pure model opening at $85,940 and the Luxe at $93,040 (to get 4WD on either, add $3,100). Sport and Autograph models get 4WD standard, and the Autograph starts at $113,690. We wish Infiniti lots of luck in its Escalade-conquesting quest, although we have a hunch folks who test-drive both will struggle to resist the sonorous siren's call of that 6.2-liter Caddy V-8.
