The 2025 Cadillac Escalade introduces a significant mid-cycle refresh to the popular luxury SUV nameplate, ushering in new exterior and interior design, a 55-inch infotainment screen, and deletion of the low-demand 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine.
The exterior paint palette of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade is also reworked, with Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic, Latte Metallic and a new special matte paint color added to the lineup. Here is GM Authority’s closer look at the Aegean Stone color.
Designated by color code GBD and touch-up paint code WA-229K, Aegean Stone is a dark greenish-gray paint that joins the eight paint colors offered for the 2025Â Cadillac Escalade at launch, which include the following:
- Argent Silver Metallic (GXD)
- Black Raven (GBA)
- Crystal White Tricoat (G1W)
- Galactic Gray Metallic (G6M)
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (GNT)
- Aegean Stone (GBD) (New for 2025)
- Deep Sea Metallic (GXP) (New for 2025)
- Latte Metallic (G5D) (New for 2025)
Aegean Stone is a non-metallic, non-tintcoat paint color and is available only as an extra-charge option priced at $625. It can be optioned on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport trims of the 2025 Escalade, but is unavailable on the Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum trim levels.
The Aegean Stone paint color can be ordered in conjunction with the interior colorways offered on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport trim levels, including Jet Black, Brandy with Very Dark Atmosphere accents, Renaissance Red with Jet Black accents, and Whisper Beige with Jet Black accents.
For reference purposes, the list of available interior colorways for the 2025 Cadillac Escalade include the following:
- Jet Black
- Brandy with Very Dark Atmosphere accents
- Renaissance Red with Jet Black accents
- Whisper Beige with Jet Black accents
- Whisper Beige with Gideon accents
- Sheer Gray with Jet Black accents
Pricing for the 2025 Escalade starts at $89,590 for the entry-level Luxury trim configured with 2WD and ranges up to $121,890 starting MSRP for the 4WD configuration of the Sport Platinum. Among other prominent options, the 2025 model year gets the new Executive Second-Row Seating Package (RPO code RBV). The official configurator for the model is now live.
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade is motivated by the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, with the optional diesel powerplant no longer offered.
The refreshed vehicle rides on the GM T1 platform, with production kicking off at the GM Arlington Assembly plant in Texas on Tuesday, October 8th, 2024.
Comments
A Cadillac name for a Chevrolet color (Cypress Gray), same paint code.
I’m convinced that whomever is choosing paint colors at GM is color blind or suffering from depression. How many more colors of gray can they come up with?
Indeed, though basically ALL automakers are currently in a gray mood.
No diesel?
