If you want a high-powered, full-size luxury SUV, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade V can be one of the best options you’ll find.
Let’s see what this incredible beast has to offer.
Can massive luxury SUVs deliver impressive driving dynamics and power? Sure, they can. Many luxury automakers have created high-powered models that top the charts and give their full-size offerings more power than expected. Cadillac didn’t do this for many years, but eventually bowed to peer pressure and created the Escalade V, which is the high-performance version of its full-size luxury SUV, which delivers incredible power for your driving pleasure.
This SUV is incredibly powerful
The Escalade V sends 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque to the wheels. This power is generated by an amazing 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that is one of the most powerful that GM has to offer. This LT4 engine is the same as the one you’ll find under the hood of the CT5-V Blackwing, which should give you an idea of its incredible power. The LT4 adds a 2.7-liter Roots-type supercharger in the Escalade, which allows this big beast to generate more horsepower than the Cadillac high-performance sedan.
Expected luxury in the cabin
When you want to go to the top, but the top isn’t quite enough for you, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade V is waiting for you. This trim level takes the Platinum trim and turns things up a few notches to provide you with an incredibly luxurious and comfortable cabin. The feature-loaded interior gives you sumptuous leather in every area, including the headliner. You’ll love the reclining seats that have heating, cooling, and massaging functions to give you the pure comfort desired. If you choose the ESV model, you’ll have a longer wheelbase that stretches the Escalade by 15 inches, translating into more legroom and cargo space.
Oh, so much tech from Cadillac
Cadillac was one of the first brands to add an OLED display to its dashboards. This display measures 38 inches in the Escalade, and it spans most of the distance from the driver to the center of the dashboard. There’s also a passenger screen, giving your front-seat occupant something to enjoy during the ride. You’ll love the tech included which gives you augmented reality navigation, a 36-speaker AKG premium sound system, and the radar-based Super Cruise hands-free driving system.
The most sophisticated Escalade suspension
The tried and proven MagnaRide suspension system is part of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade V. This is the most sophisticated and advanced suspension system offered by the brand. It includes MagnaRide dampers, air springs, and recalibrated steering meant to handle the added power of the Escalade V. You can push this SUV hard and fast because this suspension is made to control the pitch, yaw, and roll during launches and under heavy braking.
Different modes drive extremely different
The Jekyll and Hyde aspect of this big Cadillac SUV can be found in the driving modes. Most of the time, you’ll probably drive in Comfort mode, which is extremely quiet and refined, making the Escalade V feel smooth and elegant like any other Escalade model. Once you put this bast in the “V” mode, it turns into a monster, hellbent on breaking loose and leaving everything else behind. This engaged mode makes it possible for the Escalade V to rocket to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds.
Take the Escalade V to the trails
The price of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade V might make you hesitant to take it on some rough and rugged trails, but for some people, this is part of why they want this big luxury SUV. It has the same 4WD setup as the regular Escalade with some updates for the high-performance qualities of this SUV. This makes it capable on the trails, but you’ll probably want to stick to light trail areas that won’t damage this big Caddy in any way.
ESV dwarfs the rest
The Escalade V in the ESV build is much larger than any other full-size SUV. The standard build gives this Cadillac 211.9 inches of length, but the ESV model makes it 15 inches longer than this standard measurement. The wheelbase of the standard Escalade build is 120.9 inches, but the ESV model adds 13 inches to this measurement. These figures made the Escalade V the largest high-powered SUV in the entire market.
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade V is an incredible machine that’s capable of delivering power, performance, luxury, and comfort wherever you go. This big brute can be the most posh and polished SUV you’ve ever driven; will you take it out for a spin?
