Caddy's flagship Escalade gets a flagship worthy refresh this year and between the massive 55" display, ginormous 24" wheels, and potent 682 HP supercharged V8 under the hood, everything about the latest Escalade just scream American Luxury done right.
Can you review the refreshed CT5 V blackwing (mostly the tech, because that’s all that’s really changed) and hopefully they’ll give the CT4 V bw the corvette V8 495np up from 472 with the B6 and keep the manual with modern tec and similar they will sell a lot more per year
😀 yeah uhm the communists at GM can keep it!!!!!!!
The engine isn’t known as the Blackwing engine it’s a SuperCharged LT4. The only Blackwing engine is in the CT6V which is a 4.2tt. Interesting enough the CT6V isn’t called a Blackwing at all
@@Hi-how-are-you-today.We are driving and filming that video today! Full review to post on 11/19 at 9am EST. Stay tuned!
@@theredline wow ok.
More screens than any one needs. More horsepower than anyone needs. More space than anyone needs. The way a Cadillac supposed to be.
Lol😂 I guess! How much larger can it be though? They should just go ahead and make a school bus size version and get it over with. It's getting ridiculous.
Exactly
@@2thousand336 I want it to be ridiculous when the pricing is ridiculous lol
I feel bad for Rolls Royce 😔
Yeah, screw the planet. The hell with future generations!
The reoccurring theme is Lincoln is coming back with actually good vehicles and keeps Cadillac on its toes. Competition really is the best thing for innovation.
Both are killing it right now bringing that 🔥 to the Germans .....
I like that Cadillac is adding a light colored interior for the 2025 V model. Not everyone wants a dark interior.
Right, black leather with no two or tri tone is kinda ugly. Miss the CTSV with black and yellow leather suede combo
Most people don’t want grandpa beige/tan interiors on sporty vehicles
Thank you! I'm tired of all black interiors. No taste at all.
They should’ve offered a red/black interior!
@@alexandercura1523 wine red w/white or black inserts would go crazy
Over the top, ridiculous, and I love it! Great job Cadillac Team!
You are one of my favorite automotive reviewers. Your presentations are very well organized, detailed and flow very smoothly. A true professional.
We appreciate that so much! Thank you for watching and for the feedback :)
Yes, great work. And the 4K clarity!
I say the oposite
@toyota420xp so then go back to watching high school kids borrow cars from dealerships. Or better yet, a salesperson talking about a car on their dealership floor that they don't know much about.
That interior is stunning.
Bro I swear i feel broke watching this video
Gotta say Cadillac really upped their game on their new vehicles.
I love how sofyan reviewed the last 2 v8 American super SUVs back to back.
Still can’t believe he compared that Chrysler Town & Country with an upgraded V8 to the Cadillac Escalade V.
I just found your channel. You do an excellent job! You know that specs inside and out, and the tempo/style in which you deliver the information is fantastic. Subscribed!
Welcome to the Redline Reviews family! So happy you found us, thanks for the awesome feedback and look forward to seeing you in the comments again in a future video :)
I’ve got a 2024 Escalade V and CT5-V Blackwing…they are both OBNOXIOUS awesome!! No regrets on either one. I find myself driving the Escalade V more, it’s just so amazing…it’s puts a stupid school boy smile on my face everyday!! The cold start exhaust… oh my!!! The new 2025….looks really nice!! The white interior….looks GREAT but I couldn’t do it. The coast to coast screen….wow! I will say that there is so much TECH / gadgets in my 2024 that it’s hard to keep up with it all z as nd now the 2025 with all it’s got….just wow! Yeah, overwhelming! The new front end? Nice, not enough to make me want to trade mine though. The new steering wheel is interesting. The price. It’s what, $50k over the top of the line non V? Hard to justify but once I drove it….yep! The brakes….oh my!!
I agree with you on the 2025 I honestly feel like the screen ruins the dash. I really like the way the dash looks on the current pre refresh Escalades this just kinda looks cheesy and like it won’t age well at all. That’s just me tho.
your 2024 V is it paid in full?
@@rodriguekal6759 who you asking?
@@yamahaguy1732 I thought you had one
@@rodriguekal6759 parents have a 23. I have a 22 ct4 blackwing
$170k, almost as much as my first house😂
That’s ridiculous
Inflation is crazy. I remember back when the Dodge Viper was 80 K and I thought that was a lot of money.
The God damn piano black! If it wasnt for that it would be a 10/10
I agree - for a car this expensive - all that black should have been replaced with the carbon fiber - or black wood.
@frederickmiller5492 yeah a black matte wood would look amazing piano black is so cheap looking
Wow. One impressive machine. I’m not a Escalade buyer but this thing is sweet.
There’s always things I don’t love on these cars, but I’m happy an American brand leads the way here.
Already put my preorder in for one. I cannot wait!
@@JustinAdamsMD bro what adopt me I'll charge you less than the executive seating option to adopt me and I'll sit in the second row and won't complain that you didn't get it 😂😂🤣
@@SimonGonzalOS Me, too.
@@euphrates556 hey man don't inconvenience my dad
@@SimonGonzalOSlmao 😂😂
@@SimonGonzalOS lol
I wish the HVAC and seat controls were standard buttons. It’s going to be really expensive to fix later on…
It shouldn't be. The advantage with electronic is that nothing is fixed rather, replaced. As typical, however, the most expensive part will likely be the labor cost.
Well it is an expensive car. So, expensive repairs are a requirement 🥲
YESSSS LETS GO BRO IVE BEEN WANTING TO SEE THIS! GLAD TO SEE YOU GOT A HOLD OF THIS BRO WELL DESERVED FOR YOU
This is the level of effort Cadillac should put into all their vehicles.
@@MercOne Keep this same energy for all luxury marques. Mercedes doesn’t put the same effort into the A-class that they do in their flagship GLS580. Lincoln doesn’t put the same amount of effort into the Corsair that they do the Navigator Black Label, and I could go on. I’m wondering why this is expected of _Cadillac._ I’ve always felt people hold *gm* to a much higher standard than every other manufacturer known to man and your comment is literally proof of that.
@@G-Rated Wrong. As usual you can't grasp even the most basic points. The point is that you strive to build the best vehicle you can relative to the segment you're competing in. Cadillac clearly gets this in the Escalade segment, but when it comes to vehicles like the entire XT lineup they clearly couldn't care less. Half-assed, uncompetitive junk that only sells due to discounts and to the GM Lifer mindset. No one expects an entry level vehicle to match a top of the line vehicle in every way, only to be competitive in it's segment. See if you can grasp this.
@ Let’s see if you can grasp the fact that if the XT4, XT5, and XT6 “weren’t competitive” when they went on sale they wouldn’t have sold as well as they did neither would they have stuck around. What’s half-assed about the 2025 XT4, 2025 CT5, Optiq, Lyriq, or VISTIQ? I’m sorry but you’re disingenuous and simply delusional.
@@MercOneI think he grasped it.
@@drakkarc558lol
The screens are too excessive. The design would look a lot better without a passenger display. I miss when dashboards had actual styling and different materials in luxury cars. Maybe there should be an option to replace that passenger screen piece with wood or aluminum or something else nice.
This is a Cadillac. It is supposed to be excessive.
I think the passenger display is optional.
@@krane15standard
@@bighosre10right.
@@austing4321 so because the screen is 55” it prevents you from experiencing all the different materials in this interior?? 🤨
Glad he kept it real and used the word gimmick. That’s honestly what most luxury features are
Wow. He actually came to Atlanta. I live here right next to the AMS. Hope you enjoy your stay!
Pre-refresh was just beautiful!!! I am not a fan of the headlights in the bumper design!
Funny, that's what makes the Escalade distinctive. You can tell its a Cadillac from mile away, day or night.
@@krane15Not if Kia can help it, them people will bite off anyone’s design language and Cadillac seems to be their latest victim. Of course they don’t have the budgets to execute their designs to this caliber of attention to detail but the same aesthetic is there from afar.
@G-Rated True..this design makes it look like every kia, or a Chevy or a hyundai or whatever. The pre refresh made it distinct and more recognizable.
@@anmolatwal the vertical LED elements it may share with those brands now but the way Cadillac executed the details like the illusion of the massive LED blade going through the body colored piece are _very_ distinctive. Cadillac is willing to spend the extra money distancing themselves from everyone else and are likely flattered by Kia and Hyundai.
Exactly i think of chevy traverse when i see the headlights
Even though I'm more of a truck guy I really love the escalade V NGL about that like it's a different beast for it's size.
Easily the best SUV of 2025. Over Rolls, Mercedes, Bentley, Range Rover.. You name it, this beats it.
Uh what? Let's not overdo it. It's good but doesn't get remotely close to rolls or Bentley... Those 2 are in a class of their own. Regarding Benz and range rover, that's a matter of preference. Frankly, there's no way I would buy this over a range rover.
@nickschwaller3154 what about rolls and Bentley makes it better than what we just saw from cadillac? Both, imo, have very bland interiors with no personality. I'm also in the 18-34 demographic.
@justinporter6113 what does your age have to do with it? Never been inside a Bentley or a rolls I suppose, which is okay. The level of luxury and silence of a rolls is unmatched. And let's not mention the legendary V12 rolls royce engine. Hey but to each his own right? The only metric where cadillac would overshadow any aspect of a rolls Royce or a Bentley is the price as they are insanely expensive. Now comparing a range rover with this car, then you've got a conquest for sure. But vs a cullinan it's like comparing a yukulele with a Gibson. I am actually interested in the escalade for a really, and I mean really stupid reason. I am a carp angler and the rods are very long (13ft in 2 parts). It's a pita to get to the lake for a week and get the rods inside the car short of having either a van or having the tip of the rods next to your head while driving. A van is okay-ish, but is not ideal for long distances. This cadi however, is long enough and seems to be a breeze to drive. I am not American btw, might explain the different pow.
THAT much amount of space WİTH the 3rd row up is actually crazy
gonna be terrible to park
@@perfectgematriadecodesabc4259i valet park mine
There's something oddly likeable about this car - somehow I could even see my Prius-driving dad responding to this - at some point being big and powerful and expensive is intrinsically likable, even for people who don't like big, powerful, or expensive cars. That side view on the big 24's - really beautiful proportions. GM's A-game. Makes me proud to be an American, truly. This can legitimately go toe-to-toe with a G63 - different cars, but similar in intent - and this one proves American engineers are right up there with the best.
Lincoln’s gonna respond by having the infotainment screens cover the windshield 😂
Nice video keep up the great work RedLine
If the center console in that second-row upgrade package includes refrigeration, this thing is definitely next level. You could put a lot of Grey Poupon in there.
Rolling in style and elegance-Cadillac is the ultimate dream! 🚗✨ One day, it'll be mine! 💭
There's no GM product that will ever be worth $165,000
Totally agree, badge engineering at its best
A poor man words.

@@Mr.CEO888No, just rather spending it on a RR. Preferably the Uruq😍😍
@@kristians2704 that was my next comment. That will be close or over $200K
That was a nice review! I'm looking forward to seeing the new CT5-V Blackwing.
I would not and could not buy something this big and this expensive. But, credit is due here - great execution of super-sized extravagance.
Make this Cadillac Escalade v for life. ❤❤😊😊🎉🎉.
You speak fast but very clear. Love all the details and observations you make and point when you describe a car. Thank for sharing all the information
Assuming that Cadillac just lifted review embargos for their 2025 Cadillac Escalade V, I’m surprised this is the only review on RUclips, even after being uploaded 14 hours ago. 🤷🏾♂️
BTW…great review, like always!
How often will I have to put gas??
Engineers: Yes
I absolutely love the front end of the new 2025 Escalade, it looks so grande!
Cadillac spent their entire budget on this truck sheesh🔥
I liked the screen setup and the front end on the old model better. The power doors are cool.
All key fobs are red like this one. Its to match the brake calipers. What a beast of a truck! Great review!
Wow, beautiful car!
Congratulations for the quality of the video❤
I look forward to seeing the CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ review.
From Italy👋
The screen is just ridiculous but I like the new interior. Now they are rolling with the big boys👍🏽
As are the 24"s. But they both look great nonetheless.
Agreed! 50 inches of screen is Insanity.
The doors are probably not working correctly because of where you are standing. They have sensors on the automatic opening feature that won’t let them hit cars that are parked next to it and you were probably standing in that sensor zone.
That is true! Thank you for pointing that out.
If you still have this. There’s also a new(they brought it back) a secret compartment for secret storage. You can find it in the screen. Also when you lock or just walk away thr door closed & does a nice light dance.
Dude you're great at this! Hands down, my favorite reviewer. #redlinereviews
We appreciate that and thank you for watching! Hope to see you in the comments again in a future video 😊
That thing looks beastly. Love it.
Oh, the Cadillac Escalade! It's a luxury SUV with a bold design and tons of features. You get a spacious interior, high-end materials, and a lot of tech. It has a big touchscreen, advanced safety features, and a powerful engine.
The Wagoneer and the Range Rover can both match its luxury, AND go off-road.Although to be fair, the RR is much more expensive.
Bumper headlights as usual, the new trend.
Named after Me V the key fob is red ❤my fav color 😊Insane Extra Large Luxury Candy 🍎 Beautiful My Dream Car 🚘 Escalade V is Beautiful Love ❤️ it!!! Can’t wait to purchase this Suv for my family.Can see my kids glamkid in the back 😮
Product manager asks, “How wide is the actual car?” Interior designer, “mumbles something inaudible.” “Make the dash screen that wide.”
Nice. All electric Escalade will be nuts…👌
This updated front end is very aggressive and so cool - much better than the outgoing model! OK, so when you're done reviewing my vehicle please ship it back to me!!!! 🏁🏁
Awesome review!!👍✌️
Retractable side steps also have a more diffused light set up rather than the individual light diodes in previous models. Also V model gets V badging in the center of the steering wheel NOT the Cadillac crest as shown in the video.
That new Cadillac black wing that rode by was clean as hell sheesh
This is AWESOME !!!! Can't wait to get some BIG stock equity to sell for my future purchase of this in addition to my future purchases of a Ford F450 Superduty Dually, a Bronco Raptor, a Ranger Raptor, an F150 Raptor-R, a Tesla Plaid-S, a Tesla Cybertruck, a C8 Corvette ZR1, a Kawasaki Ninja 1100-R and a CanAm Defender 6-Track, a P51 Mustang fighter plane and a few other collectible automotive toys to try each day of the week!
V
The Blackwing engine was the LTA, the engine they put in the CT6v. Only 1200 made. This engine is from the ct5 blackwing and the camaro zl1 and one of the corvettes.
Thank you! Everything he called this the blackwing engine I cringed...
Amazing 👏
The screens in the vehicles today is out of control. It's to much.
So much more improvements to come for the refresh Escalade for 2025.💯🔥‼️
The Escalade is the nicest suv on the road imo
Thank God they kept the V model with this engine
WOOOOW! BEAST! 🥶🥶🥶🥶
I am a fan of this car. I want to see the car accelerate from zero, please
I need one ASAP
Caddy knows how to knock customers socks off that’s for sure. It’s the engine used is the blackwing models, but not the Blackwing engine which was a 4.2 twin turbo V8 used only in the CT6 V blackwing.
There’s nothing better than box-shaped vehicle
Excellent thorough review
Badass vehicle. I thought they were going to let you on the track with it? Hate touch screens; prefer buttons, switches, and knobs.
It's a really beautiful car
In my opinion, it looks really good.
I spent 2 hours watching this video including other videos and I couldn't find a single meaningful thing from them. Why do you guys like this video? How old are you guys???
Everytime i see something i like this, i feel like buying used after waiting for 3 years. By the time i am ready, they release newer one with more features and I have wait fot 3 more years and this cycle continues without me buying and keep waiting forever
Beautiful vehicle, as it should for a base price of $165,000. Plus, an outrageous $2,000 shipping cost. Still, this is my "Powerball" SUV!
crazy that new Escalade V costs around $160k and 2 year old, slightly used V is about $100k... that is almost 40% loss in price in just 2 years...
20:10 I was waiting to hear you say “easily fit wider frame Americans” 🤣🤣🤣
161k is crazy 🤯
depreciation 60% 😂
Until you look at the Germans or the British/German
@@himaafshan my thoughts exactly after I posted this 😂
161k and could give you power rear seats, cooled rear seats and massaging standard 💀 “executive rear seat package.” Also, the rear displays have huge bezels for 2024.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful
That engine is crammed in there
Wow that rumble in idle...is CRAZYY!!😮😮😮😅😅
This is an excellent SUV! I still love that 3rd gen platinum in the background tho..
Its 90% the same car.
Great video, but it really missed me off when he called the passenger display a mimic if you can literally watch videos on it
God I want one so bad.
One day my friend one day
Great video, but I had to chuckle when you said you thought the Mercedes offered the soft close doors...Mercedes invented it and it was offered in the S-Classes of the '90's.
Great review.
Gotta love it, in a country of 345 million people, about 40,000 a year can afford one! 😂
Cadillac does this shade of red so not even a big Cadillac fan but if I see one in this color my neck will snap everytime 😂, just wish they didn’t overdo the headlight design otherwise it’s looks good
I feel I am the only that cannot stand this trend of replacing traditional analogue gauges with digital gauges. All I see is a screen that will give drivers eyestrain, display too much information then needed, distract drivers from focusing on the road, and will break much more easily then analogue gauges which will result in expensive repairs.
Don't like it , too much touch screens than needed
@@anenasharonsaskay It seems Hyundai has realized that people do not like everything controlled by a giant touch screen and are trying to bring back buttons for somethings. I hope General Motors, Ford, Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, and many others will follow suit.
I just can’t stand the new trend about headlights on the bumpers now, they look horrible, I love the previous front end and headlights, everything else is on point
A really nice vehicle. But the philosophy of making everything bigger and more expensive is not something I currently understand.
Wish I could afford one of these bad boys
Fingerprints... fingerprints everywhere!!!
Like the upgrades except the headlights, they're too thin for a vehicle this size. I think the pre update head lights were perfect size. The thin headlights look great on the updated CT5
Great job.
it’s way faster than 125 mph that’s what the limiter is set to because it’s still considered a family SUV
Escalade Team: Ok the HUD display is 10". How big will the other screens be?
Also the Escalade Team: Yes!
ah yes, headlight controls on a screen
Trash
I wonder how that screen will function here when it gets to -40c. Looks the part. Will the electronics hold up? It's a beast!
