Cadillac Escalade-Based Rezvani Arsenal Is A Bulletproof Family SUV

Rezvani Motors has unveiled the Arsenal, arguably the most practical and family-friendly Rezvani vehicle yet. The new Rezvani Arsenal is based on the Cadillac Escalade and offers the same engine options, as well as a familiar interior layout.

This isn’t the first Escalade-based model to come from Rezvani. The Vengeance, unveiled last year, is also based on the iconic luxury SUV. However, when comparing the two, the Arsenal is a bit more subtle, at least by Rezvani standards.

The Rezvani Arsenal armor-plated SUV is based on the Cadillac Escalade.

The new Rezvani Arsenal offers Advanced Composite Armor up to a B6 rating, which protects against a variety of weapons, such as assault rifles and shotguns. B6 is the highest level of protection allowed without a special permit, making it exceptionally secure.

The exterior of this custom SUV looks futuristic and completely unlike the standard Cadillac Escalade. The styling incorporates a tall, tough stance, sculpted body panels, and prominent steel bumpers (with an optional winch). Additional features include mesh grilles and black wheels wrapped in military-grade run-flat tires.

Under the hood, the standard naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine delivers 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Alternatively, customers can opt for the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, or a supercharged 6.2L V8 producing 700 horsepower.

Inside, the Arsenal offers space for seven with leather seating, plus heating and ventilation.

Customers can upgrade to the Military Package, which includes bulletproof glass and body armor, a smoke screen, thermal night vision, electrified door handles, strobe lights, a pepper spray dispenser, bulletproof vests, and electromagnetic pulse protection, among other features, essentially making the Arsenal a fortress on wheels.

The Rezvani Arsenal starts at $225,000. Reservations are open now, requiring a $500 refundable deposit.

Other Rezvani creations include the Beast, which is based on the C8 Corvette and looks to be the perfect sports car for anyone interested in international espionage.

  8. What’s the point of this vehicle without the Military package? No body armor. No bullet proof glass. Worthless.
