Cadillac’s iconic Escalade-V returns for 2025, pushing the boundaries of luxury and performance in the full-size SUV segment. The latest model continues the legacy of bold American craftsmanship with a host of upgrades that set it apart from its peers.
Design Excellence
The 2025 Escalade-V showcases a bold front-end design, incorporating elements inspired by Cadillac’s CELESTIQ and LYRIQ models. A striking illuminated front crest and grille surround—exclusive to the V-Series—enhance its commanding presence. The rear features refined lighting while maintaining the unmistakable Escalade silhouette. New 24-inch wheels, the largest ever offered, and three fresh exterior colors—Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic, and Latte Metallic—provide a range of options for those seeking a standout appearance.
Inside, the Escalade-V introduces a performance-focused interior with authentic carbon fiber accents and deep Jet Black leather. Unique quilted and perforated seats ensure both comfort and exclusivity. The interior palette options now include Renaissance Red and Jet Black & Sheer Gray, offering additional personalization for discerning customers.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The Escalade-V is equipped with the latest technology, highlighted by a curved 55-inch diagonal display that provides an immersive infotainment experience. Standard features include the AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system, with the option to upgrade to the AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker system. Standard Super Cruise driver assistance technology and available 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability ensure a connected and secure driving experience.
Additional features like Night Vision (standard on V-Series), a full-color Head-Up Display, and a power open-and-close door system enhance both convenience and safety.
Performance Prowess
At the heart of the Escalade-V lies the impressive 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, delivering a staggering 682 horsepower. This powertrain, combined with Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, provides exceptional performance and a smooth, controlled ride. The V-Series benefits from Cadillac’s ride and handling philosophy, offering a quiet, effortless driving experience with a strong connection to the road.
