- This will be the LAST Escalade to receive a V8 engine as Cadillac moves forward with electrification. On the outside of the Escalade-V you will find 22in wheels, electric dropping running boards and quad-tip exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by an upgraded leather interior and 38 inches of OLED screen. Under the hood is a 6.2L supercharged V8 churning put 682HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V a BETTER performance SUV than a Mercedes AMG GLS 63?

Forget the Escalade IQ Joe, this V is where it's at!♡♡
V= VICTORY 🏁🏁💪💪
Man I like the way you put that!
One hell of a vehicle, Caddy knocked it out the park with this one
Crazy vehicle to be that big and heavy and be that quick.
Then they are going to ruin it by making it an EV ☹️
I really appreciate you enjoying this one Tom
First off, the EV version isn't nearly as big inside. They don't have an extra long version. I have a few friends that drive the larger Escalade or equivalent and they saw the ESCALADE IQ and they weren't impressed due to the lack of room and no longer version offered.
Marvel of modern engineering fior sure.
The EV version is also beautiful and they will continue to build them both side by side for some time.
The ev version ugly af 😂😂😂@@G-Rated
682hp? Pffttt... just kidding. I've always loved the Escalade in general, but this V model just kicks it up to a whole new level and I would be all into it if I needed one. Excellent.
That’s exactly how I feel David!
$153.000 it better come with Joe as my chauffeur.🤣🤣
Cadillac may be able to arrange that
😂😂I know right 😂
I would definitely pick the Cadillac Escalade V over any other competitor. It sounds great and it’s super fast. Great job on filming guys.
At one point i thought these huge vehicles would eventually go extinct but no…they are still here and looking much better…
The beast lives on 😂😂😂
This is so very true!
@@RaitisRides they do serve a purpose..
Wiper placement,yes Joe,how much better does it look.Greetings from Australia.
This truck is so beautiful 🔥
The escaladeiq with that display that widesweeps from driver side to passenger side is going to be incredible in this car. I saw the Escaladeiq in person. It was STUNNING.
I just bought a Lyriq AWD Luxury 3.
Cadillac's designs and their value is fantastic.
Feels like an S-class inside, but doesn't cost $2000+ a month.
Of wow that is fantastic! Congrats on your new Lyriq!
Great job Joe! The GI Joe rant was classic! Love the vehicle! It's a sports car in a super SUV body for sure!
Thanks for letting me share it all with you!
Great Review Joe love the Escalade V it is hand down the best Cadillac ever made in my opinion thanks for the on throttle moments in this beast have a great night Joe!!
Thanks Blake! I’m glad you could take the ride with me!
@@RaitisRidesYour welcome Joe!!
@@blake1275I really appreciate that
@@RaitisRidesno problem Joe thanks for the reply hope you have a great New Year’s weekend!!!
Im goinna get one of these tomorrow, so I can have 1 more V8 car before the world goes electric, thanks for the review
Thank you for doing your part!
At 13:00, when Joe said, "Those were the good ole days." Those were the ole days, and you can hear it in his voice.😊
You got that right!
I would definitely pick the Cadillac Escalade V over any other competitor😀
Yes of course Joe & I'm planning on buy one.
I look forward to picking both my (these) cars up after winning the dream car giveaway 🙌🏽🙏🏽🎉🥳😍 and so it is!!
Fingers crossed! I want you to win it!
I loved the G.I. Joe reference. Brought me back to my youth. 😁
I have the ESV Sport 600 with the optional intake/exhaust and while not as fast, it sounds pretty great and goes well enough ...
One thing you can ALWAYS say about GM. They ruined their brand in the 80s-90s, but they NEVER lost their top quality engineering. When they get the budget they put out some of the best vehicles in history. Just look at C5-C8 Z06. Look at the recent gen Camaros (RIP). Look at the Caddy’s; best super sedans ever made. Now they are starting to make quality interiors there are minimal reasons not to get a GM vehicle. Sorry this, to me, is so much better than a GLS 63, G 63 or XB7. I get why people like those, but this thing gets your adrenaline going EVERY way.
SUV like a sport car. Unbelievable. As always awesome ,Joe.👍❤
I really appreciate that Jack!
😘@@RaitisRides
OMG this has to be the best way to wrap 2023!! On throttle killed with the LT motor. Dying!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I talked to a guy who bought one of these and he paid a $50K markup so in total he paid $205K 💀
just picked up my 2024 black on black esv V love it!
Just bought a 2025 GLS63 AMG. Wanted the smaller profile and ease of finding parking spaces, and sportier feel behind the wheel. Both were cross-shopped, but landed on the Benz.
Best review of this whip on RUclips.
I really appreciate you saying that!
USA 4 EVER.....who wouldn't like this Cadillac. Happy New Year Joe.
I agree with you Mike! Happy New Year man!
A solid review Joe!
Nothing exceeds like excess my friend!
Happy New Year! Any resolutions for 2024?
I think the biggest thing would be not to be on the road so much.
there's just something special about the Escalade the allure, luster everything
@24:16 I'm sure buddy felt that weight and power push by him/her. LOL
Thank you Raiti and Steven 🔥❤️
This car is very nice and cheap, an average person can easily afford it
I hear some sarcasm.
@@RaitisRides hehe maybe
So excited for the Escalade IQ. Looks great and i'm sure they will give it the range and power it deserves
I'm on one of these. Definitely a buy for me
Joe the Escalade-V does have massaging seats!!
Amazing review Joe.
767 is Boeing (not Airbus) LOL Awesome review Joe, even when you make a mistake you make it fun ! This Cadillac Escalade-V is a big awesome monster and sounds like a beast !
That sound is unbelievable 🤤. Still gets better MPG’s than my 5.7 WK2 (avg 10.3 MPG)
5:09 😂😂😂 Go get that SOB!!! I Love RR ❤❤❤
This is definitely one of the sexiest SUV's out there, Caddy always hits the target with it. The AMG GLS 63 is amazing also.
Happy new year I love ur videos
Thank you for having my bacl!
Good video, joe. i have been watching you for years now, so when will we get a review on your personal cars?
Hey Joe great video you i applied to help out for the Cause your Generosity always show that you care. Thank you Joe and RaitisRide Family.
I have Joe I enter but most importantly it's a Great cause to help Others in need. Thank you Joe once again for Generosity
I like this beast just for the heart palpitations it would give the EV pushing bureaucrats. That motor is awesome.
Love this vehicle. Happy 2024 Joe.🎉🎉
Thanks Ivan! Same to you man!
This vehicle is a marvel of modern engineering.
It’s a mountain that drives like a Ferrari.
My dream car, I want to drive this so badly ❤
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, YEAH!!! I can DIG IT!! Thanks, Joe and STEVEN!
Wow,Joe what a great SUV, l will roar if i win this SUV in 2024, some Escalade v's come with massaging seats.
Joe, that DRL vent might be real, just electronically covered for aero or whatever. Drive around for a bit and see if they open up!
The way he pulles off and comes back 😂😂😂
14:02 😂😂😂 Joe, that button is literally for the massage seats. That’s a standard feature on the V. Yikes, very cringeworthy moment. Reviewers gotta stop this madness.
All Yukon Escalade and Tahoes of all years look freaking badass sitting low and running fast like this one 😛
When do we get the bloopers for this year great video
I had to buy it before they stop making this kind of vehicle. I have a Radiant Red (make that Alabama Crimson) 2024. It sounds quite raunchy. Great vehicle.
This Escalade V is an awesome vehicle with a special build that includes an amazing engine!! Cadillac Escalade V is the best luxury performance SUV!!
They really went all in on it for sure!
Charging over $100K for an SUV is getting out of control. Especially with the low quality plastics they use doesn’t justify the price. The kicker the EV version is even more expensive 😂
It’s a GM it’s at least $99K too much
Get used to it Mr 305
That’s over 150k, not just 100k
@@Darkbaboon $149,999.99 too much
😭😭😭😭
The proper name for the “home power source” is a receptacle or a 3 prong outlet 👌
I like your content and I dont wanna sound like a hater but I wish you could control that compulsion to try and be funny ALL the time. Every 15-20 seconds its some purposely dorkey joke, its overwhelming tbh.
the first one was exactly a yukon denale. i mean they didn't even change anything but the badge. you take the badge of both of them and you couldn't tell which was which
Used to have a 2012 CTS-V, great car as far as the engine and suspension went, but upgrading to an AMG is a night and day difference. Mercedes does not lack on ANY part of their cars, and it shows in the details.
Overpaying massively for what you get with this car, when it hits the $75k it will be justified with all the cheap plastics
Great review. 🙌🏿
This really is wonderful.
Funny Hennessy grabs one and makes its 1000 hp..one more time b4 electrification 😊..thanks Joe Lori and Steven for an exciting year and go out on throttle with a bang with this last LT4 supercharged escalade into the next year 😊
You are so very welcome!
My favorite suv 💯‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dang, this thing got some torque.😕😳😯😅
Can you do a comparison review between RR LWB SE 7 seater and Escalade platinum or sports platinum ?
V8>electric
Great review as always my dude!
Heck yeah Tyler!
This just says "I can drive my bigass Escalade close to 200 mph cuh"...🤣🤣😆😆
I love it!
Great video. Keep it up!
I know it's unrelated, but can you review/showcase Mitsubishi eclipse cross 2024?
I wanna buy one, but I dunno if I should go for 2023 or 2024.
You already have over 1m subs so you must have at least 2 more cameras while you're testing driving right? Thks
That beast takes off like a rocket
Nice video Joe
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
Keep up the good work
Thanks for saying that!
My dream suv and definitely want the v
I rather have the Escalade V over the BM X7M and the Mercedes AMG GL63. There is more value in the Escalade V over the foreign competitors. Great Job Cadillac!!!
I like the way that you think Cedric!
@@RaitisRides Thank You. Cadillac Escalade V is at the top of the SUV Luxury performance execution. I hope Cadillac continues the Escalade V series, boost the Horsepower to 750 hp, and top speed of 165 hp.
General Motors is undisputed a luxury powerhouse💪
Still going to have to go with the grand waganeer
Lovely, awesome.
Best greetings from Norway.
🇧🇻🌹🇧🇻🌹
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love Cadillac escalade-v look good real true and I love the video real true 👍 💯
The Escalade is like a luxury short bus. But the interior of the GLS is a step ahead.
For Cadillac to truly make the Escalade BETTER than Mercedes, they need to give the escalade the interior of the Lyriq. The Escalade iq just might be the one to step ahead of Mercedes.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Our esv-v has massage seats. Small button side of the seat with the other seat controls.
There is an even longer version of this v ?
Yes, just like the Escalade. The Escalade is the Tahoe size. Escalade esv is the suburban size.
@@ddivinia wow
Didn't know there was a bigger version of an already big vehicle
@@shahangilani We like to call it Texas size. :-)
@@ddivinia lol
Beautiful beast 🔥
Bad ass truck it sounds like a beast
I'd port the blower and change out the wheels for 26" x 10 wheels. Everything else is a homerun!
Now we are talking!
I wouldn’t go any larger than a 24-inch wheel for the sake of sidewalls since it’s a luxury SUV and comfortability would be the #1 priority but 26” would look good too.
Everyone lovinnn it ,, no question about it
You are so very right about that!
"You can live out this thing"
At over $100k you may have to 🤷♂️
Its a beautiful beast though. That V8 sound 🎶
Does there never get winter cuz you always wear shorts lol awesome video btw!
Dumb Question: can you control the audio to where it doesn’t blast from the headrest? I’d find that annoying for the passengers trying to sleep
When/where can I buy a Raiti’s Rides Banana holder?
Every single Escalade should have heated, ventilated, massaging seats in the front row and the back for the $153,000.
Thing is: if Cadillac really wanted to show their full hand, the 3rd row would get it too.
I like the way that you think!
I just love how pointless but awesome this Escalade is. With the size, practicality, performance and power this is the ultimate "guilty pleasure" purchase.
I know exactly at what you are getting at!
@@RaitisRidesI’m having a hard time understanding how over 100 cubic feet of cargo space and 668 hp in a full-size SUV make it “pointless”. What does that man drive?
Love it Joe wow how much is it ?
I can’t remember, but it is in the review.
$150k 😂
That wood is beautiful,😂 stop hating the wood
Sorry man!
I like what the Escalade brings so far
I did think about what you're talking about in terms of the glare; the sunlight flash.
I know you did really liked that Escalade
hey Joe i think it would be cool if you can review a Huracan or a 488 for 2024.
The thing handles like a tank!!!! And they want 50k in premiums ridiculous!!!! I’ll stick with foreign vehicles…..Bmw is not charging premiums either!! Too late Cadillac!!!
I need an 2023 ford f450 limited review before I buy one
Extra Sweet!!!
Awesome 💯💯💯
I am glad that you are digging this one.
