In recent news, General Motors has announced significant updates to the iconic Cadillac Escalade for the 2025 model year. One of the most notable changes includes the increase in production of the Cadillac Escalade V-Series performance model, reflecting a strong demand for this high-performance SUV.
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade introduces a range of new features, such as a standard 55-inch diagonal display across the dashboard, including a dedicated passenger screen. Additionally, the “executive package” for the second row, power doors, large 24-inch wheels, and other enhancements further elevate the luxury and performance of this flagship SUV.
John Roth, vice president of Cadillac, emphasized the brand’s commitment to bold American craftsmanship, technology, and performance with the 2025 Escalade. This model continues to set the standard for full-size SUV luxury, building upon the legacy of innovation established 25 years ago.
As the highly profitable flagship of GM’s large SUV lineup, the Escalade holds a critical position within Cadillac’s brand image as well as the company as a whole. GM’s dominant market share in the full-size SUV segment underscores the significance of the Escalade in driving the company’s success in the automotive industry.
The design updates for the 2025 model year, such as sleeker front lighting and a larger interior screen, align the gas-powered Escalade with an impending all-electric version. While preserving its iconic front grille and imposing presence on the road, the 2025 Escalade boasts two 6.2-liter V-8 engines, including a supercharged V-Series model generating 682 horsepower and 653 foot-pounds of torque.
In response to overwhelming demand for the 2025 Escalade V-Series, Cadillac has announced plans to ramp up production to ensure that customers can experience the pinnacle of Escalade’s performance, luxury, and craftsmanship. The brand aims to balance exclusivity with meeting market demand for this top-tier SUV.
While pricing details for the 2025 models are yet to be released, the current range spans from $81,000 for the base model to over $152,000 for the V-Series variant. With the upcoming launch of the all-electric Escalade IQ, expected to start around $130,000, Cadillac continues to expand its lineup to cater to a diverse range of customers.
The gas-powered 2025 Escalade will be produced at GM’s Arlington Assembly in Texas, alongside other full-size SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC that share common vehicle platforms. This strategic move underscores GM’s commitment to maximizing efficiency and optimizing production processes to meet consumer demand effectively.
