The 2025 Cadillac Escalade is gearing up for a comprehensive mid-cycle refresh that promises to once again blend luxury with cutting-edge technology. A highlight of this update is the introduction of the new Connected Cameras feature, also seen in the 2025 Chevy Tahoe and 2025 Chevy Suburban. The new Connected Cameras system will allow 2025 Cadillac Escalade owners to stream live camera views from around and inside the vehicle directly to their smartphones.

Leveraging GM’s Global B electronic architecture and enhanced with 5G connectivity, the Connected Cameras system is designed to enhance both safety and convenience. The system can provide both a cabin view and a full 360-degree exterior perspective of the SUV. In addition to a Live View feature, this system also offers additional functionalities, such as Automatic Crash Recording, Security Recording, My Recordings for dash cam functionality, and Cloud Storage for storing video recordings. Access to these features is provided through the myCadillac mobile app, and requires an active OnStar service plan.
Beyond the innovative camera technology, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade will also showcase a new fascia design that takes inspiration from the all-electric Cadillac Escalade IQ. Inside, the cabin is set to feature a pillar-to-pillar display screen, offering copious digital real estate across the dashboard for the driver and the passenger. This screen setup is expected to include integrated controls for the climate system and a new multi-function control knob on the center console, as GM Authority covered previously.

Under the hood, the 2025 Escalade will continue to offer a few familiar powerplant options, with non-V-Series variants equipped with naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine. The new 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine will be available as a replacement for the 3.0L I6 LM2 offered currently. Stepping up to the high-performance 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V will include the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine, doling out 682 horsepower.

I expect this feature available to the electric Cadillac models, too.
I can understand redesigns if you have a problem, but this front end in all honesty looks like it was created by someone with a learning disability. This is a SIGNIFICANT downgrade from the current model…Cadillac is about to ruin their image with this one, this is not luxury. If Frankenstein was a front end, this is what he’d look like. Just keep the ‘24 exterior and upgrade the interior if you want to “design out of boredom”.
I think the front end is beautiful IMO for both the V and regular refresh. We had not seen luxury versions revealed yet so Cadillac had not ruined anything and the sales volume will continue successfully.
A least Cadillac did made more of an effort for the first time for the 5th generation with the exterior and interior enhancements than Lincoln did with the current Navigator. Even the German makes don’t go far with the interior for as refreshes are concerned except for having updated engines and exteriors during the life cycles. Also Cadillac will have an updated diesel engine but we don’t know if the current standard engine will add more horsepower or torque which will be the current engine cycle that will stick around for a while.
The new Cadillac the Camara option to cell phone Bluetooth in will it be easy to use from the steering column or from cell there’s one option it says axes denied can you explain why
Now if GM would only move the stupid antenna to the center to make it look like a shark fin
