2025 Cadillac Escalade: Enhanced Features and Production Plans
The new 2025 Cadillac Escalade boasts a striking 55-inch slanting display across the dashboard, featuring a dedicated passenger screen, an “executive package” for the second row, power doors, impressive 24-inch wheels, and various enhancements.
"The Escalade has always represented bold American craftsmanship, innovation, and performance, continuously raising the bar for full-size SUV luxury since its debut decades ago," stated John Roth, Cadillac's VP, in a recent press release.
As a flagship vehicle for Cadillac and parent company GM, the Escalade is crucial to the brand's success, leading the U.S. market share in full-size SUVs for years. The design updates for the 2025 model year—such as sleeker front lighting and a larger interior screen—align the internal combustion version with an upcoming all-electric variant. The vehicle retains its prominent front grille and commanding road presence.
The 2025 Escalade will continue to be powered by two 6.2-liter V8 engines, including a supercharged V-Series performance model that delivers an impressive 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque.
Cadillac plans to increase production of the 2025 Escalade V-Series, which was introduced two years ago, to meet high demand for the current model year. However, officials have not disclosed specific production numbers. "We are ramping up production to meet customer demand for the pinnacle of Escalade performance, luxury, and craftsmanship while maintaining exclusivity," a Cadillac representative told CNBC.
Pricing details for the 2025 models will be available closer to the launch, but current prices range from approximately $81,000 for the base model to over $152,000 for the V-Series. The all-electric Escalade IQ is expected to start around $130,000 when it hits the market later this year.
The Detroit automaker unveiled these upgrades to the internal combustion 2025 Escalade online on Wednesday, ahead of production and sales set to begin in the near future.
The Escalade will continue to be manufactured at GM's Arlington Assembly in Texas, alongside regular SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC that share the same platform and components with the Cadillac model.
