Bringing a refresh to the performance variant of the Cadillac Escalade, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V rolls out an assortment of changes and updates, including elimination of two exterior colors and the addition of one new one called Aegean Stone. Here’s our first look at the new Aegean Stone color.
Tagged with color code GBD and touch-up paint number WA-229K, Aegean Stone is one of five exterior colors offered on the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V, which include:
- Argent Silver Metallic (GXD)
- Black Raven (GBA)
- Crystal White Tricoat (G1W)
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (GNT)
- Aegean Stone (GBD – new for 2025)
Aegean Stone, which Cadillac describes as “a bold, deep green gray with a confident solid appearance” is a non-metallic, non-tintcoat color that is offered as an extra-charge option priced at $625.
The new color is available with both interior colorways offered on the 2025 Escalade-V, which include:
- Jet Black (HIZ)
- Sheer Gray with Jet Black Accents (EH5)
As of early to mid December 2024, the very first units of the refreshed 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V have begun to arrive at dealerships. A recent Live Photo Gallery from GM Authority brings you a look at one of these vehicles finished in the Black Raven hue.
Pricing for the 2025 Escalade-V starts at $161,990, while the extended-length 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V ESV has a base MSRP of $164,990, making it the most expensive Escalade variant. These prices include a destination freight charge (DFC) of $1,995.
General Motors has decided to increase production of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V to meet rising demand for the high-performance variant. Among the headlining changes introduced for the 2025 refresh is a new front fascia, a new 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display, and a new steering wheel. Furthermore, the Escalade-V now features exclusive carbon fiber trim.
For motivation, the 2025 Escalade-V continues to cradle the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine offering 682 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. The blown V8 is paired as standard with the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
The GM T1 platform continues to underpin the 2025 model, with production continuing at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

LOL! Unbelievable, -or maybe not! Mary, where is your head???
So it’s a flat, non-metallic, non-tintcoat color and it’s STILL an extra $625? There’s no genuine reason for it to cost extra, especially on a $162K vehicle. It’s simply a f**k you fee they know people will pay without question.
In 1977 Cadillac had 21 exterior paint colors and 19 interior leather colors. What colors they have now is pathetic at best.
