2025 Cadillac Escalade Walkaround Interior,Exterior & Exhaust Sound

The Escalade, Cadillac's large-and-in-charge luxury flagship, is a bold, tech-laden, three-row take on the full-size-SUV formula. For 2025, it receives stylistic updates intended to align its design with the brand's EV lineup (see the Escalade IQ and Lyric). The regular Escalade's main mission remains transporting up to eight people in modern luxury, despite its traditional body-on-frame architecture being adapted from the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. The Cadillac Escalade is also in league with formidable competitors such as the Lincoln Navigator, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and the Lexus LX600. Those all share the Caddy's blend of amenities, price, and size. While heavy, it provides confident handling and a plush ride that appropriately coddles passengers. The dash-spanning curved OLED display is also back, but now it stretches across the entire dash. Buyers who need more cargo room behind the third row can go long with the extended-wheelbase ESV model. A 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8 is standard, but drivers who never recovered from selling their Camaro ZL1 can opt for the Escalade-V and rejoice in the growl and thrust of its 682-hp supercharged V-8.
