The 2025 Cadillac Escalade sports a bold new design and an upscale interior that mimics the Escalade IQ. Given this, it’s not surprising to see a sizable price hike of US$ 5,700. That’s a significant increase and it means the entry-level Escalade Luxury begins at US$ 89,590. Thankfully, all the price increases aren’t that steep as the Premium Luxury climbs US$ 2,975 to start at US$ 98,790. The Escalade Sport gets a US$ 575 price hike, while the Sport Platinum skyrockets from US$ 113,315 to US$ 118,890 for a US$ 5,575 increase. The Premium Luxury Platinum climbs US$ 5,075 while the Escalade-V is up US$ 6,475 to US$ 161,990.
Cadillac hasn’t released a detailed trim
or equipment breakdown, but the 2025 Escalade benefits from a “mid-cycle major”
facelift that sees the model outfitted with an Escalade IQ-inspired front
fascia that features a larger grille with an illuminated crest. They’re joined
by vertical headlights and slender turn signals. The styling changes continue
further back as there are revised 22-inch wheels as well as newly available
24-inchers. The latter are the largest ever offered on an Escalade.
Rounding out the highlights are a new rear
bumper, revised taillights, and updated exhaust tips. Buyers will also find
three new colors called Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic, and Latte Metallic. While
facelifts are largely focused on the exterior, the Escalade sports a modern
cabin with a 35-inch driver display and a 20-inch front passenger display.
They’re joined by a lower command screen, a new center console, and
higher-quality materials. Buyers will also find a standard Super Cruise
semi-autonomous driving system as well as a 19-speaker audio system.
Another notable update for 2025 is a new
Executive Second Row package. It adds a center console with a rear command
display, dual wireless smartphone chargers, and retractable tray tables. The
package also includes dual 12.6-inch displays and massaging seats with
headrest-mounted speakers. Since the turbodiesel engine has been dropped, all
mainstream variants are powered by a 6.2-liter V8 developing 420 hp and 624 Nm of torque. If that’s not enough, the
supercharged Escalade-V has 682 hp and 885 Nm of
torque.
