Ushering in the new model year with a refreshed interior, attention-grabbing new exterior styling, and new features, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade also gets a shakeup of exterior colors. Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic, and Latte Metallic have joined the palette at launch, while an exclusive matte paint color is expected to arrive later in the model year. Here, we’re spotlighting the details of the Deep Sea Metallic color.
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade adds Deep Sea Metallic as one of eight paint colors initially available, with the hue identified by color code GXP and touch-up paint code WA-136H. Deep Sea is described by Cadillac as “a rich metallic blue with a hint of gold in the highlight,” and is part of the following listing of Escalade colors:
- 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)
A metallic, non-tintcoat paint color, Deep Sea Metallic is available as an extra-charge exterior color choice bearing a $625 price tag. All trim levels of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade, including the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum trim levels, can be ordered in conjunction with this color.
Additionally, Deep Sea Metallic can be combined with any of the interior colorways offered for the Escalade’s 2025 model year, including the three new interior colors.
As a reminder, the lineup of interior colorways offered on the 2025 Caddy sport-utility are shown below:
- 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
The base starting MSRP for the 2025 Cadillac Escalade starts with the Luxury trim in 2WD at a price of $89,590, while the 4WD variant of the Sport Platinum starts at $121,890. The vehicle offers a wide variety of options to personalize the customer’s build – which can be created using the currently live online configurator – including fresh choices such as the Executive Second-Row Seating Package (RPO code RBV).
General Motors opted to drop the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine from the available lineup for 2025 in consideration that only about 5 percent of Escalade SUVs were ordered with the powerplant. This leaves one engine choice for the standard Escalade, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, which can be paired with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.
The GM T1 platform continues to provide the bones for the 2025 Cadillac Escalade under the refreshed body panels. The GM Arlington Assembly plant in Texas is the site where the vehicle rolls off the assembly line, with Tuesday, October 8th, 2024 as the opening day of production.

Why can’t the gm cars get all the options from the beginning? Like all the German cars.
It is awful.
Just speculation, but GM and Ford seem to be purposely making the spec process for new ICE vehicles next to impossible to comprehend, even for the non-brain-dead. It’s a ploy, I’m convinced, to push buyers into their EVs. Which won’t work.
UGLY CAR .. BEAUTIFUL COLOR
The new front end is hideous.
Each automotive brand desires to stay unique, graceful but with Cadillac: elegant! In my humble opinion: The front clip look’s similar to an IRONMAN robot’s shut lip!
There’s no talent at GM Design anymore. The current Escalade and the Chevy variants are overly tall and ungainly. A few generations ago, they looked pretty good but not anymore. Nothing under Simcoe looks good.
Buy a Range Rover instead.
Umm, yeah – Jaguars latest wokepaux will have ’em lined up to purchase their products.
Changing colors, but can’t change back to having the diesel option. Wow.
They should have made an interior color to match this new exterior color. It would have looked very elegant and could go with the majority of their other colors. Eight exterior colors for the top of line $100,000 American luxury vehicle is short by at least four colors but then again, all it is really, is a Chevrolet.
Agree. The grill is large, but I wouldn’t consider it elegant. It looks more truckish, but maybe that’s the point.
