The Escalade IQ Gets Louder Without Making A Sound

  • Waido teases widebody kit with revised fascias and massive flared arches for Escalade IQ.
  • The electric Cadillac gets an extended chin spoiler and bold forged carbon fiber accents.

The Cadillac Escalade has never been accused of being subtle, and that’s exactly why it continues to thrive in a market filled with increasingly subdued SUV designs. It remains one of the most audacious, head-turning vehicles on American roads, favored by those who want to be noticed from several lanes away. That kind of flash inevitably draws aftermarket attention, and now, one company is taking on the challenge with a new spin on the all-electric Escalade IQ.

That company is Waido, a name already familiar to fans of widebody kits and over-the-top custom builds. The latest project is previewed through a series of detailed renderings, showing off am extreme visual makeover for Cadillac’s electric flagship.

Waido kicks things off with a new front fascia featuring distinctive aero accents and an extended chin spoiler. The changes give the Escalade IQ a sharper, more aggressive look, well beyond what you’ll find in the showroom. Complementing the new front-end are flared wheel arches, adding some extra width to the SUV (not that it actually needs it). Waido has flared the rear arches, too, and showcased the Caddy on a set of aftermarket wheels.

At the rear, the transformation includes a redesigned bumper, a new lip spoiler, and a small diffuser. Of course, no one is expecting a full-size electric SUV to suddenly benefit from track-ready downforce, but the visual drama adds to the overall package. And really, with a curb weight north of 9,000 pounds (4,082 kg), the Escalade IQ already puts more than enough pressure through its tires without any help from airflow trickery.

Waido was one of the first brands to unveil a widebody kit for the Tesla Cybertruck, priced from $9,990. here’s no word yet on what the Escalade IQ setup will cost, but given the extensive use of forged carbon fiber in these renderings, don’t expect it to land in budget territory.

Mexican Tuner Shows Off Widebody Tesla Cybertruck On 26-Inch Wheels

  • This heavily modified Tesla Cybertruck also includes a gloss black wrap.
  • A large fixed rear lip spoiler has also been added, as has a new front bumper.
  • The EV retains its original charging port on the rear passenger fender flare.

Not too long ago, Mansory did what we thought was impossible: it made the Tesla Cybertruck look even worse with its hilarious β€˜Elongation.’ While it’s quickly become the most talked-about modded Cybertruck, it’s far from the first and a Mexican company has already crafted its own take on the controversial electric truck.

This Tesla has been brought to life by Billion Group and sports a crazy widebody kit that makes it stand out. We’ll let you be the judge of whether it stands out for all the right reasons, or if it’s for all the wrong reasons.

Billion dressed the stainless steel panels in a gloss black wrap which – to our surprise – actually suits the Cybertruck quite nicely. It has then bolted on a set of flared arches and while the company didn’t mention the dimensions, they certainly look wider than the widebody kit built by Waido.

Adding flared arches to the Cybertruck is a little more difficult than some other vehicles. The rear arch on the passenger side houses the charging port, so the tuner likely had to extend some of the cables to make it suit the bigger flares. Additionally, the two front arches house a pair of rear-facing cameras, and they, too, have been retained with this widebody kit.

Other flamboyant upgrades include a new front bumper that extends a little lower than the standard bumper. It’s also been fitted with a set of aftermarket 26-inch black wheels, a large fixed rear spoiler, and a new LED front light bar that includes the Mexican firm’s logo.
