Interior and Technology
The current Escalade already boasts large screens, but the new model sees even more digital real estate. Just like the Escalade IQ, the newly updated 2025 Escalade features a 55.0-inch digital panel that spans just about the entire length of the dashboard. The enormous panel consists of two screens, one for driver and one for the passenger. Fear not—Cadillac has not abandoned Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Below the giant screen, a smaller tablet-style screen controls climate functions. Many trims come standard with a full-color head-up display. Other goodies include 5G Wi-Fi hot spot, HD streaming, and 126-color LED ambient lighting.
In terms of audio, buyers get a standard 19-speaker AKG Studio setup. A 36-speaker sound system is available, which can be upgraded to 40 speakers with the Executive Second Row package. This package also tacks on massaging seats, stowable tray tables, 12.6-inch personal screens, and dual wireless phone charging pads.
On the Road
With the adaptive air suspension, the Escalade boasts a smooth ride on 22-inch wheels, and we wonder if the experience will remain as poised on 24-inch wheels. Super Cruise hands-free driving tech will continue to make the drive less stressful.
As was the case last year, the Escalade packs a 6.2-liter V-8 engine with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. In our tests, an Escalade with this powertrain barreled its way to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Fuel economy will likely remain unimpressive around 14/19 mpg city/highway.
A supercharged V-8 is at the heart of the Escalade-V, producing 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque for a 0-60 run of 4.7 seconds. With this variant, fuel economy will likely plummet to around 11/16 mpg.
Both engines pair to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between RWD and AWD, the latter coming standard on the V model. Towing maxes out at 8,100 pounds.
Cadillac no longer offers the Escalade with a turbodiesel six-cylinder due to a low take rate. For buyers who don’t want a V-8, Cadillac is introducing an electric Escalade, dubbed the Escalade IQ, with 750 hp and 450 miles of range.
When and How Much?
The order books open in the third quarter of 2024, and the first units will make their way to customers by the end of the year. The Escalade IQ is also expected to be available in late 2024. We don’t anticipate the 2025 Escalade to get any cheaper; prices could range from around $84,000 at the lower end to around $160,000 on the most expensive models.
