1. Refreshed Design with a Modern Touch

The 2025 Escalade combines classic elements with a contemporary twist, inspired by the Escalade IQ concept. The SUV features the largest wheels ever offered on an Escalade—24 inches. The exterior also includes an illuminated Cadillac crest, vertical front lighting, and a redesigned grille (on select trims). The rear sports sleeker taillights, and the V-Series boasts a unique look with carbon fiber accents and quad tailpipes. Three new colors—Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic, and Latte Metallic—add to its refined appearance.

2. Luxurious and Tech-Savvy Interior

Inside, the 2025 Escalade blends modern technology with traditional luxury. The cabin features high-gloss wood and leather upholstery. A major highlight is the curved, pillar-to-pillar display that spans the dashboard, offering extensive information, entertainment, and driver controls.

3. Enhanced Audio Experience

For audio enthusiasts, the 2025 Escalade comes standard with a 19-speaker AKG Studio system. There's also an option for a 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference system, and the Executive Second Row package upgrades to 40 speakers, delivering a rich, immersive sound experience.

4. Powerful Performance Options

The new Escalade offers several powerful V8 engines paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The top engine in the Escalade-V model is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8, producing 691 horsepower. The SUV also features an independent Adaptive Air Ride suspension and the latest Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 system, ensuring a smooth ride.
