Altia ON: 2025 Cadillac ESCALADE IQ

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is an innovative electric SUV that will combine top-tier luxury with cutting-edge technology. GM relies on Altia for getting its most advanced, intuitive graphics into production – and this cutting-edge redesign of Cadillac’s flagship turned EV will definitely deliver. 

Here’s what we’re most excited about in the Escalade IQ. 

The cockpit interface is incredibly user-friendly, with intuitive menus and rapid responses. Multi-tasking is a breeze, allowing drivers to simultaneously view navigation, play music and monitor vehicle stats without switching screens. Voice recognition, augmented reality navigation and integration with popular apps ensure that drivers are safe, comfortable and connected.

The dash is composed of a sprawling, curved pillar-to-pillar 55″ total diagonal LED display powered by a Snapdragon Cockpit platform from Qualcomm Technologies. Spanning the entire front row, it provides a stunning visual experience for driver and passenger. This massive display is segmented to serve the different needs of front seat passengers—with 35″ dedicated to the driver and 20″ dedicated to the passenger. The passenger side of the display is polarized—making it less visible to the driver thus reducing distraction and clearing the regulatory hurdle that will let passengers stream video or surf the internet while the electric Escalade is on the move. The display can be customized with different themes, widgets and apps, including voice-controlled services like Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play.

Beneath the 55″ screen combination sits an 11″ touchscreen where driver and passenger can access five-zone climate controls, ambient lighting and even the doors (if equipped with the power open-and-close feature).

That cool, connected experience of the Cadillac Escalade IQ extends to the back seat. For models with the Executive Seating package, second-row passengers get two 12.6″ personal screens plus a rear command center screen to control comfort, lighting and more.

Designing, developing and deploying this kind of brand-defining innovation in cockpit displays is exactly what Altia does. We work with automotive OEMs and Tier 1s all over the world—including General Motors—to deliver first class cockpit experiences for production vehicles.

Altia Graphical User Interface Software to Be Showcased at IAA Mobility 2023

Altia announces today that our graphical user interface software will be on display with a key ecosystem partner at IAA Mobility 2023. This event is the world’s largest mobility event, gathering manufacturers, suppliers, tech companies, service providers and startups for focused discussions about future technologies, cars, e-vehicles, autonomous driving and beyond. IAA Mobility is happening in Munich, Germany. The IAA Exhibition will be held from September 5-8 in the Munich Exhibition Center.

Altia’s ecosystem partner, Telechips, will be demonstrating Altia’s GUI software on their Dolphin 5 platform in Hall B3, Booth F10. This demo features Altia HMIs on two screens—an EV instrument cluster with real time 3D animations and a touch HVAC system featuring functionality for heating and air conditioning as well as seat controls. These HMIs were designed and deployed with Altia’s easy-to-use toolchain, which features advanced 3D capabilities, global language support, Cloud-based collaboration and broad hardware support. Altia software enables HMI development teams to create sleek, intuitive interfaces and then automatically generate production-ready graphics code that is optimized for smallest footprint and best performance on their hardware.

Altia HMI experts will be at IAA Mobility 2023 on Wednesday, September 6 and Thursday, September 7. Visitors to IAA Mobility are invited to schedule a meeting with our Altia experts at the show to learn about Altia’s complete cockpit software platform which has everything HMI teams need to bring their cockpit UI/UX from concept to production quickly and efficiently. Appointment requests can be made using this link.
