The luxury SUV race is filled with options for the consumer—finding a vehicle that truly stands out is not an easy task. But Cadilliac has a storied history as a premium automaker, so it knows how to stand apart from the competition. Let’s take a look at one of its finest offerings, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade, which has been given a major facelift and more tech bells and whistles than ever before!
Key Takeaways:
- Prices for the Escalade will be available as it gets closer to arrival.
- Power opening and closing doors and a 55-inch display screen are two new additions to the Escalade’s features.
- The gas-powered Escalade will likely make its debut in January 2025, with the EV arriving on showroom floors in late 2025.
- Trim levels for 2025 are the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, Sport Platinum Premium Luxury Platinum, V-series, and the IQ EV.
What Engine Is Seen Under the Hood of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade?
The Escalade continues with the 6.2-liter V8 engine from the previous year, which generates 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. For those desiring even more power, the Escalade-V will get you there. It's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out a whopping 682 horsepower and 652 lb-ft of torque. The Escalade and the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV have both powertrains available.
What New Tech Features Are Expected For the 2025 Cadillac Escalade?
The real buzz around the coming year’s trims is the addition of a 55-inch curved display that is nearly the full width of the dash. It’s divided into two segments—one 35-inch display with the instrument panel and central touchscreen elements and a secondary 20-inch unit in front of the passenger seat. The smaller of the two has a polarized screen so the driver doesn’t get distracted. The Escalade’s widescreen layout features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
The center console is now without its former vertical shift lever configuration. Its redesign now places transmission selection through a stalk attached to the steering column. This frees up space for the infotainment system’s physical knobs and the third screen with the cab’s climate control system.
A 19-speaker AKG audio system comes standard but can be upgraded to 36 speakers on upper trim levels (or 40 speakers in the Executive Second Row package.) This package replaces the second row's middle seats with a full-length console that includes stowable tray tables, two 12.6-inch screens for entertainment, wireless charging pads, and two speakers in each seat.
Power doors for easy ins and outs are standard on V-series and Platinum models. At the touch of a button on the command center touchscreen, all doors can be opened and closed. You can even program the driver’s door to open automatically when the key fob is near.
