With regard to updates, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade adopts styling cues inspired by Cadillac’s various electrified models, including the Escalade IQ, Celestiq, and Lyriq. Each Escalade trim level features unique design characteristics.
Inside, Cadillac has overhauled the cabin to include a massive 55-inch infotainment screen, stretching seamlessly from pillar to pillar by combining a 35-inch driver display and a 20-inch passenger display. Additionally, GM’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system is now standard equipment.
As for the powertrain lineup, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine remains standard across the lineup. The optional 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax has been discontinued due to low demand.
Like previous iterations, all 2025 Escalade models are underpinned by the GM T1 platform and are produced at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.
Comments
IMO, the refresh looks so much better than the prefresh models especially the luxury versions. The grill on the luxury versions takes the Escalade on another level even further in terms of looks.
There are several videos out on the refresh Escalades at the dealerships on YouTube to check out.
At least these pics show a thin strip of lights horizontally above the vertical ones. I think the original shots of the refresh had nothing up there. Still, it’s a visual step down.
All trims are over priced! Especially the V model
