Cadillac has not yet released detailed specifications on trim and equipment, but the 2025 Escalade will benefit from a “major” mid-cycle facelift that will see the model fitted with an Escalade IQ-inspired front end that features a larger grille with an illuminated crest, along with vertical headlights and slim turn signals.
The design changes continue further back, as there are revised 22-inch wheels as well as newly available 24-inchers, the latter of which are the largest ever offered on an Escalade.
The highlights are rounded off by a new rear bumper, revised taillights and updated exhaust trims. Buyers can also look forward to three new colors: Aegean Stone, Deep Sea Metallic and Latte Metallic.
While the facelifts focus mainly on the exterior, the Escalade features a modern cabin with a 35-inch driver display and a 20-inch passenger display. There’s also a lower control screen, a new center console and higher-quality materials. Buyers will also find a semi-autonomous Super Cruise driving system as standard, as well as a 19-speaker audio system.
Another notable update for 2025 is a new Executive Second Row package. It adds a center console with a rear command display, two wireless smartphone chargers, and retractable tray tables. The package also includes two 12.6-inch displays and massaging seats with headrest-mounted speakers.
With the turbodiesel engine no longer in use, all mainstream variants are powered by a 6.2-liter V8 that develops 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque. If that’s not enough, the turbocharged Escalade-V has 682 hp (508 kW / 691 PS) and 653 lb-ft (885 Nm) of torque.
