The 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V debuts several significant upgrades in conjunction with the nameplate’s latest mid-cycle refresh, offering up a new design, both inside and out. Highlights include a new front fascia and a totally overhauled cabin, all while the Escalade-V’s impressive performance remains every bit intact. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the new go-fast SUV in Radiant Red paint thanks to the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
Outside, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V presents styling similar to that of Cadillac’s all-electric lineup, most notably the 2025 Escalade IQ, presenting horizontally-oriented lighting up top and vertical lighting in the corners. The sporty SUV’s signature mesh grille is present and accounted for.
The body panels are covered in Radiant Red Tintcoat, while new Satin Graphite 24-inch Split 6-Spoke wheels roll in the corners. The 24-inch wheel design is a fresh addition for the 2025 model year, and also feature a Laser-Etched V logo.
Inside, the Escalade-V presents an overhauled cabin space headlined by a massive 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display. The cabin in this particular model is finished in the Jet Black (RPO code HIZ) interior colorway, and features Full Semi-Aniline Leather Seats with intricate Mondrian Quilting. The cabin is further elevated by the inclusion of Haumea Carbon Fiber trim, a sporty touch, once again added for the 2025 model year. Carbon fiber trim is exclusive to the V-Series Escalade variant, and replaces the Zebra wood trim offered for the 2023 and 2024 model years. The steering wheel design was updated as well, and now includes a chunkier design in the side spokes.
Under the hood, the go-fast Escalade continues to impress with the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine, delivering a mammoth 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain is paired with the GM 10-speed automatic transmission, while under the skin, the Escalade-V is built on GM’s T1 platform. Like the standard Escalade, the V-Series Escalade is produced at the GM Arlington Assembly Plant in Arlington, Texas.

I will be glad when this trend of giant, stupid looking, poor riding wheels goes away.
Great news: nobody is forcing you to buy anything you don’t like.
@Mudman out of curiosity, have you driven an Escalade with 24s?
Luft, You’d be real smart, if you’re driving one with 24’s, not to hit any potholes of any size or depth because those extremely low-aspect sidewall tires don’t have any “give” or room to “flex” and protect those fancy wheels from damage. Fact of physics that most ignore. And yes, lack of sidewall flex on low aspect ratio tires does directly affect and impact ride quality. Another fact.
This demo unit was shown to other YouTuber a few weeks back. And again 24 ride worse than 22, just like many others have said.
If you really think so, just get the 22s and be happy
CGI lightened color. In life it’s almost burgandy.
I’m sure the bangers like them .
Does this have adjustable suspension height? Looks like it’s on stilts.
