In addition to the aforementioned 126 colors of ambient lighting – which can be set up in multiple zones, too – the refreshed 2025 Escalade gets fresh exterior styling and an interior makeover. The SUV gets eight exterior colors at launch, with three new for the model year, but a mysterious ninth color – a special matte option – is expected to be available in limited quantities later in the model year.
In the cockpit, the Escalade gets three new colorways, which will oust a different trio offered in 2024. Also new for the 2025 interior is the Executive Second-Row Seating Package (RPO code RBV), offering an extensive upgrade to second-row seating that includes captain’s chairs and a variety of seating comfort and convenience tech.
Pricing, as previously revealed by GM Authority, ranges from a starting MSRP of $89,590 for the entry-level Luxury trim equipped with RWD to the 4WD Sport Platinum trim’s $121,890. The model’s configurator is currently live, enabling trying out various builds.
Thanks to very low demand, GM retired the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine, leaving one gasoline powerplant choice for the standard Escalade, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine developing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
The GM T1 platform supports the 2025 Cadillac Escalade under the body panels. Production launched on Tuesday, October 8th, 2024 at the GM Arlington Assembly plant in Texas.
