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.

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.
Yea this screams barf, but your Encore GX is just the most amazing thing anyone’s ever seen, right? Maybe for 2025 your resolution should be to not be so critical of things you either cant buy or don’t wish to buy. The market suggests time and time again that your opinion is way off.
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.
I can see Elvis in one
Well the urn must of rolled under the seat, I didn’t see him.
“Discontinued the optional 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine for the 2025 model year due to low demand” – I don’t believe this for a nanosecond. I tried for almost 2 years to order a diesel Escalade and the dealer (Herb Chambers) made it excruciatingly painful. To the point I ordered a car, waited 10 months, it arrived with a gasoline engine, I refused the order, waited another 8 months for a replacement, and found out that somehow my order spontaneously was canceled and no one was notified. I’m done with Cadillac. GMC is much less pretentious and much more functional.
Sorry you got the 3.0 diesel. Motor is good but has nothing but problems from emissions to electrical to leaks. Every time I get one to work on its a headache. I feel bad when people run out of warranty, they cost a fortune to fix.
WOW!!
Can you say gorgeous?!!!!
Now if only gm could do interiors like this across the rest of their car/truck/suv lineup… (hint-hint)
It’s a Suburban any way you slice it.
Even though the interior is a lot better than the prefresh, it would not hurt GM to have all the buttons in piano black like it is on the window switches instead of dark dull plastic. The IQ has a higher quality interior finish throughout the cabin.
Instead, GM wants to save a lousy buck. If it costs a few hundred dollars more for better quality switchgear, the consumer would not mind paying few hundred dollars more on the Escalade because this market can afford it. Look at the Escalade-V models for example. They are almost becoming commonplace now and people don’t mind paying $150-$160K plus for them.
Love that non-black interior! Ditto for the Yukon’s non-black interior also.
It’s about time!
Can I get that interior in my Sierra Denali. SO tired of black
