Cadillac Escalade Overview

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade combines refreshed design elements with enhanced technology, continuing its legacy as a luxury full-size SUV. The exterior features a redesigned front fascia, illuminated front crest, and vertical lighting influenced by Cadillac's LYRIQ and CELESTIQ models. New 24-inch wheels and colors like Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic, and Latte Metallic expand customization options.

The interior introduces a blend of advanced tech and luxury. Highlights include a curved 55-inch diagonal display, seating for up to eight, and an optional Executive Second Row package with stowable tray tables, rear command center, and massaging seats. Two new interior palettes, Renaissance Red and Jet Black with Sheer Gray, offer refined aesthetics. Ambient lighting with 126 colors and an upgraded AKG audio system, featuring up to 40 speakers, enhance the cabin experience.

Performance includes Magnetic Ride Control, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, and optional V-Series upgrades, including a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine producing 682 horsepower. Safety features like Super Cruise driver assistance and Night Vision are standard or available on select trims.

Production begins in late 2024, with pricing starting at $89,590. The Escalade is assembled in Arlington, Texas.

If you want the pinnacle of American luxury, you want a full-size SUV.

In a way, it always made sense: America’s primary contribution to the modern motoring landscape is the truck. Dress it up all fancy-like, and you’ve got the Lincoln Blackwood—er, Navigator, which stormed the scene in 1997. Cadillac quickly followed suit with the Escalade. Since then, both have become staples of the segment, trading on those big, brash looks, tow-anything attitudes, and ample space.

And then there was Jeep. America’s off-roader brand was well placed to bank on the public’s love affair with SUVs this millennium. But outside of an ungainly (and mercifully short-lived) Commander, it didn’t have anything to tackle the burgeoning three-row sector. Jeep’s 2021 solution was two-pronged: the unibody-based Grand Cherokee L to capture crossover shoppers, and larger, more robust Wagoneer sitting on a modified pickup platform. At the top of the pile is the Grand Wagoneer, an ultra-lux land yacht that has obviously studied the playbooks at Lincoln and Cadillac.

It’s like driving around in an opulent lighthouse.

It is very rare to find a film series that gets better with every sequel, Lord of the Rings notwithstanding. Something that has the same formula, but gets better with every new film, something like the Mission Impossible series. It was a great original, the second was forgettable (to put it kindly), the third was a ray of hope, and then came Ghost Protocol, which boosted the franchise straight into greatness. It’s not a lot different in the car world. And the 2021 Cadillac Escalade looks like it could be the Ghost Protocol of the Escalade nameplate. Cue the main theme.
