The 2025 Cadillac Escalade gets a mid-cycle refresh, making our favorite full-size luxury SUV even better. Highlights of the refresh include revised exterior styling, a revamped interior, new tech items, and an updated powertrain lineup.
Now that the configurator is live for the 2025 Cadillac Escalade, we checked every box we could on the options list to find out what a fully loaded model costs. Unsurprisingly, the priciest variant is the Escalade-V ESV. This is the long-wheelbase version of the high-performance Escalade-V powered by a supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 producing 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque.
For factory options, we added Radiant Red Tintcoat, one of the two $1,225 paint options (the other is Crystal White Tricoat), and the Executive Second Row Seating Package (RPO code ABV). Most of the other options that make the price climb are dealer-installed options, like the Onyx Package (LPO, PDB), the Cargo Convenience Package (LPO, PDP), and the Floor Liner Package (LPO, PDF).
| RPO/Color Code | MSRP | |
|---|---|---|
| Escalade-V ESV | $164,990 | |
| Radiant Red Tintcoat or Crystal White Tricoat | GNT/G1W | $1,225 |

It all brings the price of a fully loaded 2025 Cadillac Escalade to $185,688. For reference, the 2025 Escalade starts at $89,590 with the standard wheelbase and $92,590 for the ESV. Across the board, the ESV variant costs $3,000 more than its shorter counterpart.
Compared to the preceding 2024 model year, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade presents revised exterior styling that incorporates design elements from the all-electric Escalade IQ, such as thin upper lighting signatures and tall vertical lighting elements on the sides of the front fascia.
Moving inside, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade is equipped as standard with a massive 55-inch pillar-to-pillar digital display, which combines a 35-inch driver readout and a 20-inch front passenger display into a single expansive digital layout. Other highlights include a new power open-and-close door feature, 5G connectivity, and an AKG Studio audio system, while the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system is also standard spec.
The powertrain lineup – other than the LT4 that powers the Escalade-V – includes the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine as standard, while the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine will no longer be offered with the launch of the 2025 model year.
Every 2025 Cadillac Escalade unit rides on the GM T1 platform, and production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

Sure doesn’t remotely look like its price tag
Yeah, I can’t afford one either.
200,000 dollars for a car. No way,no how.
Go call a Multi millionaire
Thee are foreign sports cars that cost even more. Yet people buys them and NOBODY CARES!
Not even a middle-class earner working 2 full-time job’s can afford this suv!
I’m assuming they don’t want to sell any. Just lease them.
In canadian thats about 260….OUCH ,,, way to much
Interesting how all those black SUV’s that are used by our government and in the presidential motorcade are Suburbans and not Escalades. Probably the only place the feds saved a buck.
Fed Suburbans are 2500 Escalades are 1500
I love Escalade!!! can’t I be part of you and I at least be the ambassador for it in my home country please 🙏 please!!
Or, ignore these altogether and buy a used GMT900 or K2XX Escalade…with proper service records. You can also add a small lift kit, a winch bullbar, BFG tires w/Braid Wheels , an Antenna and still come out MUCH cheaper…than any of the new ones.
