The 2025 Cadillac Escalade will be the fifth model year for the current fifth-generation luxury SUV, with a wealth of updates and changes expected thanks to the implementation of a mid-cycle enhancement, otherwise known as a refresh. Naturally, the refreshed 2025 Cadillac Escalade will offer a number of new tech items as part of the model refresh. Critically, these will include 5G network connectivity.
For those readers who may be unaware, 5G network connectivity is the latest fifth-generation cellular network technology, replacing the fourth-generation 4G technology offered previously. First deployed by cellular companies in 2019, 5G technology offers several benefits over the preceding 4G tech, including greater bandwidth and expanded capacity.
The inclusion of 5G for the refreshed 2025 Cadillac Escalade shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given the refreshed 2025 Chevy Tahoe, the refreshed 2025 Chevy Suburban, and the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon will all upgrade to 5G as well. The ICE-powered 2025 Cadillac Escalade should not be confused with the all-electric Cadillac Escalade IQ, which will also get 5G network connectivity.
In addition to incorporating 5G tech, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade will also feature a completely overhauled cabin, including a full-width, coast-to-coast (or pillar-to-pillar) infotainment screen. The infotainment layout will be similar to that of the Cadillac Celestiq, and in fact, will be practically a cut-and-paste application from interior layout of the Cadillac Escalade IQ, per previous GM Authority coverage.
Further changes will include a new exterior design, with a reworked front fascia, a new rear fascia, and a new roof-mounted communications fin, the latter of which will be part of the SUV’s new 5G network connectivity.
The updates will continue under the hood, where the optional 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine will be replaced by the new 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine, the latter of which is expected to deliver more power and torque than the LM2 six-cylinder diesel engine offered previously.
