Major Upgrades and Luxurious Tech
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade has received significant updates, showcasing an infusion of luxury and advanced technology features. This lavish overhaul comes with a proportional price increase. The base price for the refreshed model starts at $89,590, marking a $5,700 uptick from the previous year’s model. Key exterior changes include squintier headlights and a larger grille adorned with an illuminated Cadillac crest. However, the most substantial improvements are on the inside.
Revolutionary Interior Features
Inside the 2025 Escalade, a remarkable 55-inch digital dashboard extends from A-pillar to A-pillar, combining a 35-inch instrument panel and infotainment touchscreen with a separate 20-inch display for the front passenger. To prevent driver distraction, this passenger-side screen is filtered. An additional touchscreen below the main display manages secondary functions like audio and climate controls. The Super Cruise hands-free driving system now comes as a standard feature.
Enhanced Engine Options
While the diesel engine option has been dropped, Cadillac offers two robust V-8 engines for the 2025 Escalade. The standard 6.2-liter V-8 produces 420 horsepower and 460 pounds-feet of torque. Exclusively available in the Escalade-V, the supercharged version of this engine generates an impressive 682 horsepower and 653 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Advanced Safety and Trim Levels
The 2025 Escalade comes with a comprehensive suite of standard safety features, including Super Cruise, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane departure steering assist, and front and rear parking sensors. Trim levels further enhance the vehicle’s features and luxury. For instance, the entry-level Luxury trim includes 22-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, keyless entry and remote start, synthetic leather upholstery, and a 55-inch digital dashboard with Google built-in.
Availability and Pricing
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade is expected to hit the market in winter. The pricing for the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV will be announced later. The full pricing for the standard Escalade starts at $89,590 for the Luxury trim and goes up to $161,990 for the V-Series. This comprehensive and luxurious upgrade justifies the price increase, affirming the Escalade’s position as a standout in the luxury SUV segment.
