General Motors has recently announced its plans to increase production of the Cadillac Escalade V-Series performance model as part of updates to the flagship SUV for the 2025 model year. The new SUV will come equipped with a standard 55-inch diagonal display across the dash, including a passenger-only screen, an “executive package” for the second row, power doors, large 24-inch wheels, and various other enhancements.
According to John Roth, the Vice President of Cadillac, the Escalade has always been known for its bold American craftsmanship, innovative technology, and exceptional performance. Introduced 25 years ago, it has continuously set the standard for full-size SUV luxury. The Escalade plays a crucial role for Cadillac and its parent company, GM, as the highly profitable flagship of the company’s large SUV lineup.
The gas-powered 2025 Escalade will be powered by two 6.2-liter V-8 engines, including a supercharged V-Series performance model capable of delivering 682 horsepower and 653 foot-pounds of torque. The new model will feature design tweaks such as sleeker front lighting, a larger interior screen, and a massive front grille, maintaining its commanding on-road presence.
Increased Production and Demand
Cadillac has decided to increase production of the 2025 Escalade V-Series due to overwhelming demand for the current model year. Production figures have not yet been disclosed, but the company is focused on meeting customer demand for the pinnacle of Escalade luxury, performance, and craftsmanship, while still maintaining exclusivity.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing details for the 2025 models will be released closer to the vehicle’s launch. The current pricing ranges from $81,000 for an entry-level model to over $152,000 for the V-Series. The all-electric Escalade IQ, expected to debut later this year, will be priced around $130,000. The gas-powered 2025 Escalade enhancements were revealed online, with production and sales set to begin towards the end of this year.
The Escalade will continue to be manufactured at GM’s Arlington Assembly in Texas, alongside full-size SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC that share a common vehicle platform and components with the Cadillac model.
The updates and enhancements to the 2025 Cadillac Escalade promise to deliver a new level of luxury, performance, and technology for SUV enthusiasts. With increased production and innovative features, the Escalade aims to maintain its position as a leader in the full-size SUV market.
