A First Look at the 2025 Cadillac Escalade: Where Luxury Meets Power

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade is the pinnacle of full-size SUVs. It offers a luxurious family travel experience by bringing the comforts of home on the road, and it packs a fierce V8 engine that adds excitement to your daily drives.

A First Look at the 2025 Cadillac Escalade: Where Luxury Meets Power

Powerful and Efficient V8

Out of all the Escalade’s exciting luxuries, the 6.2L V8 speaks the loudest, roaring out 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Integrated Dynamic Fuel Management technology boosts the engine’s efficiency by varying the number of active cylinders. VVT further reduces fuel consumption by retarding valve timing when extreme performance is not needed. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission to eliminate tedious clutch work, making driving in cities more convenient.

The V-Series amps up the SUV’s performance with a hand-built 6.2L supercharged V8. The powerplant kicks out 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque and propels the Escalade-V from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.

Impressive Towing Capacity

If you need an SUV that can pull a travel trailer on a holiday, the base 2WD Escalade is the right choice. The SUV can tow an outstanding 8,100 lbs, rivaling several light-duty pickup trucks. Meanwhile, the more performance-oriented Escalade-V offers a 7,200-lb towing capacity.

Luxurious Seating

Up to eight passengers can enjoy luxury without compromise in the Escalade’s first-class cabin, which features three spacious rows of seats. Premium semi-aniline leather covers most of the interior at entry level, including all seating surfaces. Heated front bucket seats with 12-way power adjustment and heated second-row outboard seats provide optimum comfort for long hours of travel.

Higher trim levels introduce 16-way power-adjustable front seats with a massage function to keep occupants rejuvenated. An available Executive Second Row brings the comforts of home to rear passengers, replacing the bench seats with heated, ventilated, and massaging bucket seats. The upgrade also adds rear infotainment screens and a command center.

Upscale Amenities

At entry level, the SUV offers tri-zone automatic climate control to let the front and second-row passengers set their preferred temperatures. Ambient interior lighting allows the cabin to be customized to your mood, and a panoramic glass roof lets in natural light. Other standard interior amenities include wireless phone charging, three 110-volt power outlets, and a 12-volt auxiliary front power outlet.

Panoramic Curved Display

The Escalade features a fully digitized dashboard with a curved screen spanning the vehicle’s width. The 55-inch display comes with navigation capability, Connected Apps, and natural voice recognition. Passengers can connect their smartphones via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing them to browse apps in full resolution on the ultra-wide screen or stream music on the AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system.
