The interior continues the tech-forward and luxurious accommodations found in the Escalade IQ, including an available Executive Second Row package.
The Executive Second Row package blends beauty with task-oriented functionality featuring stowable tray tables, 12.6-inch-diagonal personal screens, a rear command center, dual wireless phone charging pads and massaging, heating, and ventilated seats, which also offer 14-way power adjustment and headrest speakers.
