2025 Cadillac Escalade

The 2025 Escalade lineup is full of style and options. The entry-level Luxury trim announces itself with an illuminated crest on a bold Galvano-accented grille. Step up to the Premium Luxury and things get even sleeker with a panoramic glass roof and a Sport grille that hints at what’s under the hood. The Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum turn features up a notch.

The heart of the Escalade is a 6.2L V8 that belts out 420 hp and 460 lbs.-ft. of torque. From Luxury to Sport Platinum, this engine delivers its powerful, responsive, and refined performance. If you’re looking for added power, the Escalade-V brings a Supercharged 6.2L V8 to the table with a lunging 682 hp and 653 lbs.-ft. of torque. It hits 60 mph in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 4.4 seconds.

Despite its size, the 2025 Escalade provides a smooth and dynamic drive. Thanks to Magnetic Ride Control and an Electronic Limited-Slip Differential, it glides over North Carolina’s backroads with uncanny poise. It’s composed, confident, and nimble. The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts with precision, and the Escalade obliges up to 8,100 lbs. of towing capacity, when properly equipped.

Inside, the Escalade impresses as well. Leather? Naturally. Massaging front seats? Of course. Three rows of indulgence await up to 8 passengers. But the centerpiece of the cabin is the 55-inch Curved Pillar-to-Pillar display—a technological marvel that stretches across the dashboard like a command center for the modern elite. Paired with an optional 38-speaker AKG Studio Reference audio system, the Escalade doesn’t just play music—it performs it live.

Luxury without safety is just reckless opulence, and the 2025 Escalade is anything but. With Enhanced and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Reverse Automatic Braking, Cadillac makes sure your investment is as protected as it is pampered. The 2025 Escalade doesn’t just get you there. It arrives, makes an impression, and can give you peace of mind on every travel.
