The 2025 Cadillac Escalade ESV introduces the fifth-generation SUV’s mid-cycle refresh, further refining its iconic design and packing in a wealth of luxury features. As was the case previously, the 2025 Escalade is once again available in the extended-length Escalade ESV configuration, offering more room in the cabin for rear-seated passengers and cargo. Now, GM Authority is taking a closer look at the 2025 Cadillac Escalade ESV Premium Luxury Platinum In white paint with a Whisper Beige interior.
This particular 2025 Cadillac Escalade ESV is covered in Crystal White Tricoat paint (paint code G1W), with the exterior design presenting a clean, upscale appearance. The refreshed front fascia features Cadillac’s signature horizontal grille with chrome detailing, flanked by vertical headlights that emphasize the proportions. A sculpted hood and sharp body lines add to its commanding presence, while chrome trim accents along the window surrounds and door handles reinforce the high-end aesthetic. The rear design incorporates tall LED taillights that span vertically along the tailgate, emphasizing the vehicle’s height. Massive multi-spoke alloy wheels complete the exterior’s modern aesthetic.
Inside, the Whisper Beige cabin with Gideon accents (RPO code H0D) continues the clean look. The soft beige upholstery is complemented by subtle Gideon-colored trim, creating a calm and clean environment. The cabin also incorporates Zebra Wood accents which add a more natural element to the cabin, as seen on the dash and door panels.
The first-row driver-focused cockpit boasts a 55-inch curved OLED display that stretches across the instrument cluster and infotainment system, providing a seamless user interface. The second-row seating shows off individual captain’s chairs wrapped in premium leather, as well as rear entertainment screens are integrated into the seatbacks.
Under the hood, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade is equipped as standard with the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 engine, while the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine is available exclusively in the high-performance Escalade-V. Notably, Cadillac has discontinued the optional 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine for the 2025 model year due to low demand.
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade rides on the GM T1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas.
Comments
Front end still looks like it’s missing headlights and that dash, pass the barf bag. AND, speaking of Escalade front lighting, is it really necessary that I be constantly blinded by these idiotic things approaching, even in the daytime? It’s been the case for 10 years or so now. If you have to announce to the world that you drive an Escalade, you probably can’t afford to be doing so.
You know what, the Escalade looks high-class in white. It carries off its position well without resorting to a shocking hue to make it pop (are you listening, Celestiq?) Seems like shocking hues ensure low resale value.
For the interior though, I’d choose a darker brown, with a bit of black, along with real wood trim parts.
