2025 Cadillac Escalade Revealed With Jumbtron On The Dashboard, Power Doors
The Cadillac Escalade has been updated for 2025 with some electrifying features.
The full-size luxury SUV carries over its 420 hp 6.2-liter V8 and 682 hp supercharged 6.2-liter V8 gas powertrain options, but borrows its new interior design from the upcoming electric Escalade IQ.
The new Escalade gets the IQ’s pillar to pillar digital display on top of the dashboard. The setup is comprised of a 35-inch screen for the driver and a 20-inch screen for the front passenger housed within a single frame.
The infotainment system is equipped with Google built-in plust Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, which the Escalade IQ and GM’s future electric vehicles are losing.
THIS IS WHY THERE’S A ‘1000’ ON THE CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ’S TAIL
A smaller touchscreen mounted on the center console is provided as a control interface along with a joystick knob and some auxiliary buttons. An optional Executive Second Row captain’s chair package adds another touchscreen and fold-out tables, dual wireless phone charging pads, a massage function and headrest speakers.
The Escalade will continue to be offered in Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport Platinum and V-Series trims and all get the Super Cruise hands-free highway driving assistance system standard with three years of service included. Super Cruise can provide lane-centering adaptive cruise control on hundreds of thousands of miles of North American highways as long as the driver continues to watch the road.
The Escalade’s exterior has been updated with slim horizontal auxiliary lights and vertical main lighting strips, new grilles and illuminated design elements. A set of 24-inch wheels is available and the largest ever fitted to the Escalade at the factory.
The supercharged V8 is exclusive to the Escalade-V, which also gets a performance-tuned adaptive suspension and wheels, carbon fiber interior trim and black leather upholstery.
The Platinum and V-Series can also be ordered with a night vision camera and four power-opening doors.
