Overview

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade marks a significant midlife-cycle update for the alpha luxury SUV. Slimmer, reoriented headlights (now vertical), a dash-spanning tech display and optional lounge-style seating give the Escalade even more clout among luxury big haulers, despite its having lost its 3.0-liter diesel engine option this year. But with its ability to carry up to eight passengers, tow up to 8,100 pounds and generate 682 horsepower from an optional supercharged V8, the Escalade still does what it does best: Make an impression.

Edmunds spotlight: A further leap in luxury and tech

The Escalade’s digital future influences its analog past, as the refreshed 2025 Escalade borrows tech cues and hardware from the new Escalade IQ electric SUV. Notably, a 55-inch glass panel spans the dashboard from pillar to pillar, combining digital instruments for the driver, a central touchscreen and a separate display for the front passenger. The latter is even polarized to prevent the driver from being distracted by today’s latest viral video. A new “executive” seating package, optional only for the top trims, adds massaging second-row seats with stowable tray tables and wireless charging for two, further cementing the Escalade as the go-to choice for luxury fleet and shuttle services.

Competitors to consider

The Escalade’s longtime domestic rival, the Lincoln Navigator, is still as good as ever. It offers an extended-length version like the Cadillac, but the Lincoln’s interior is even slightly more indulgent and it can tow up to 8,700 pounds. The Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 deliver coddling luxury and comfort with impressive in-car tech, but can’t match the Escalade’s space or towing numbers. If you prefer a whiff of aristocratic bearing, a base trim Range Rover costs about the same as a mid-trim Escalade.

Cadillac Escalade models

The 2025 Cadillac Escalade is a three-row luxury SUV available in six trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport Platinum and V-Series (aka the Escalade-V). The Escalade seats seven or eight passengers depending on second-row configuration. Captain’s chairs for two come standard but can be replaced by a folding 60/40-split, three-across bench seat. The third row seats three passengers. An extended-wheelbase version, the Escalade ESV, is 15.1 inches longer than the regular version.

All but the Escalade-V come with a 6.2-liter V8 (420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft) and rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is optional. The Escalade-V gets a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (682 hp, 653 lb-ft) that puts power to the ground through a specialized all-wheel-drive system. Every Escalade has a 10-speed automatic transmission. Standard feature highlights for the Escalade include:

Luxury
Starts off with:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Adaptive headlights
  • Tri-zone climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated front and rear outboard seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 55-inch integrated digital instrument and infotainment display
  • Google built-in infotainment, voice assistant system and navigation
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Wireless charging pad
  • 19-speaker AKG premium audio system

Every Escalade also comes with a comprehensive bundle of advanced driver assistance features, including:

  • Forward collision warning and automatic braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance (steers the Escalade back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle’s blind spot)
  • Intersection collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Escalade and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Escalade and the car in front)
  • Super Cruise (uses the vehicle’s advanced driver aids to further provide hands-free driving capability on select highways)

Premium Luxury
Builds on the Luxury trim’s features with:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Head-up display
  • Digital rearview mirror

Selecting the Premium Luxury trim also opens up other options, such as:

  • Touring package
    • Adaptive air suspension
    • Soft-close doors (catch as they’re being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Power-retractable side steps
  • Rear-seat entertainment system
  • 36-speaker AKG premium audio system
  • Center-console refrigerator

Premium Luxury Platinum
Comes with most options as standard equipment, including:

  • Adaptive air suspension
  • Soft-closing doors
  • Massaging front seats with wider range of adjustment
  • Night Vision augmented reality with infrared sensors to detect pedestrians and animals
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel, instrument panel, console and upper door panels
  • 36-speaker AKG premium audio system
  • Rear-seat entertainment system

The Sport and Sport Platinum trims generally mirror the Premium Luxury and Premium Luxury Platinum, respectively, in features and options. Styling and aesthetic touches such as unique wheels and gloss-black trim largely distinguish the Sport trims from their Luxury counterparts.

Escalade-V
The V comes with most of the same features as the Premium Luxury Platinum. A supercharged V8 boosts the big SUV’s performance, along with:

  • 24-inch wheels
  • Performance-tuned adaptive air suspension
  • Brembo high-performance brakes
  • V-specific driving modes
  • Front console fridge

The new Executive Second Row Seating package is optional for the V-Series and both Platinum trims and includes:

  • Heated, ventilated and massaging second-row captain’s chairs
  • Dual wireless phone chargers
  • Floor console with stowable tray tables
