General Motors has announced that the Cadillac Escalade V-Series performance model will see an increase in production for the 2025 model year. The SUV will come equipped with a standard 55-inch diagonal display across the dash, a passenger-only screen, an “executive package” for the second row, power doors, and large 24-inch wheels. These updates aim to elevate the Escalade’s reputation for bold American craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and impressive performance standards.
The Escalade has long been a standout vehicle for Cadillac and General Motors, serving as the profitable flagship of the company’s large SUV lineup. With GM leading in U.S. market share of full-size SUVs for decades, the Escalade plays a crucial role in maintaining that dominance. Recognizing the high demand for the current model year, Cadillac plans to ramp up production of the 2025 Escalade V-Series to ensure that customers seeking top-tier performance, luxury, and craftsmanship are accommodated.
The gas-powered 2025 Escalade will feature two 6.2-liter V-8 engines, including a supercharged V-Series model capable of delivering an impressive 682 horsepower and 653 foot-pounds of torque. These robust powertrains underscore Cadillac’s commitment to delivering a driving experience that is as exhilarating as it is luxurious. The enhancements made to the 2025 model year, such as sleeker front lighting and a larger interior screen, are designed to align the gas-powered variant with an upcoming all-electric version of the vehicle.
While specific pricing details for the 2025 models have yet to be released, the current pricing for the Escalade ranges from approximately $81,000 for the base model to over $152,000 for the V-Series. Additionally, Cadillac has confirmed plans to introduce an all-electric Escalade IQ, which is projected to have a starting price of around $130,000. These future offerings signal Cadillac’s commitment to staying at the forefront of luxury SUV innovation and catering to a diverse range of customers.
The 2025 Escalade will be produced at GM’s Arlington Assembly plant in Texas, alongside other full-size SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC that share components with the Cadillac model. This strategic manufacturing approach ensures that the Escalade maintains its reputation for exceptional quality, performance, and craftsmanship, while also benefiting from the scale and efficiency of GM’s production processes. As the automotive landscape evolves, Cadillac is poised to remain a leading player in the luxury SUV segment with the continued success of the Escalade.
