Claim
The Escalade IQ is Cadillac's answer to the question nobody dared ask: what if the biggest luxury SUV in the lineup went fully electric without shrinking an inch. The real one packs a 750 horsepower dual motor setup, 24 inch wheels and a 55 inch curved screen inside, and this add-on brings that land yacht to GTA V Enhanced with an absurd amount of its detail intact.
The screenshots show two builds: a bright orange one over a black roof, with the lit grille pattern and the vertical LED blades framing the nose, and a dark green one shot with the driver door open and the powered hood raised over the front trunk, because yes, the frunk is modelled and it opens. The cabin is dressed in red leather with the pillar to pillar curved display up front, and the infotainment even renders CarPlay, Android Auto and Google Assistant icons. The rear carries the Escalade IQ lettering between the split vertical taillights, over a San Andreas plate.
The SUV installs as its own dlcpack, so it replaces nothing in the stock garage. Copy the folder into dlcpacks, register the gonzo_iq package in dlclist.xml with OpenIV or the onigiri loader, and spawn it with the model name gonzo_iq, the same as the folder.
The download comes in two variants: one with a custom engine sound and one that keeps the stock GTA engine audio, useful when another sound add-on conflicts with it, an issue the author notes has existed since the Legacy days. The mod was developed and tested on a clean copy of GTA V Enhanced, so performance will depend on the rest of your mod list.

Frequently asked questions
How do I spawn the Escalade IQ in game?
Use any trainer and spawn it by the model name gonzo_iq, which matches the dlcpack folder name.
I can't hear the engine sound. What's wrong?
Engine sound add-ons can conflict with each other, an issue that has existed since the Legacy scene. If it happens to you, install the variant that keeps the stock GTA engine sound.
Does it work on GTA V Legacy?
No. This port targets GTA V Enhanced only, so Legacy players should look for the original release by Gonzo instead.
Does the front trunk open in game?
Yes. Like the real electric Escalade, this model has a front cargo area under a powered hood, and one of the screenshots shows it raised with the doors open.
