GM launched the go-fast Cadillac Escalade-V in conjunction with the 2023 model year, more recently refreshing the high-powered full-size SUV for the 2025 model year. Like the rest of the Escalade lineup, the refreshed 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V features an updated design inside and out, all while maintaining its signature aggressive style and luxury. Now, we’re taking a closer look at this particular 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V in Black Raven paint courtesy of the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
At first glance, we find a Black Raven exterior (paint code GBA) that provides a deep, glossy finish, enhancing the Escalade-V’s impressive proportions. The massive front grille features a black mesh pattern that seems to highlight the Cadillac emblem at the center. Sleek vertical LED headlights and daytime running lights flank the grille, falling in line with the latest Caddy design language.
In the corners are 24-inch Split 6-Spoke alloy wheels painted in Satin Graphite, complementing the Black Raven paint. Bright red six-piston Brembo brake calipers peek out from behind the wheels, while the side profile incorporates sharp creases and dark surrounds for the windows. The rear features quad exhaust outlets and signature vertical taillights.
The interior is finished in Jet Black (RPO code HIZ) with Haumea Carbon Fiber trim, a new addition for the 2025 model year. Previously, Escalade-V models featured Zebra-pattern wood trim. The redesigned dashboard is dominated by an expansive curved OLED display, seamlessly integrating the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system in 55-inches of digital real estate.
The semi-aniline leather seats feature intricate Mondrian quilting, providing a luxurious texture and a level of comfort. We also see a set of second-row captain’s chairs for enhanced passenger comfort, while the third row provides additional seating with ample legroom. A panoramic sunroof stretches above the cabin, filling the interior with natural light and enhancing the sense of space. Rear passengers are also treated to dual entertainment screens mounted on the backs.
Under the hood, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V is powered by the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine, which doles out an incredible 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque, sending the full-size luxury SUV from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The Escalade-V rides on the GM’s T1 platform, while vehicle production takes place at the GM Arlington Assembly plant in Texas.
New units of the 2025 Escalade-V are arriving in dealers now.
