“The Escalade is our flagship vehicle in the region for a reason and has been going from one height to another for over twenty-five years.

The new 2025 Escalade elevates what owners love most about the iconic luxury SUV.

Design
The expectations and desires of Escalade customers are well understood by the Cadillac design team. The 2025 Escalade takes design cues from the best of what Cadillac has to offer and brings them to life in the refreshed model. On the exterior, it features thoughtful updates that continue the successful design language launched with the 2021 model, including a new, bolder front-end design.

The new Escalade incorporates advanced lighting technology inherited from ESCALADE IQ. Functional lighting elements move from a horizontal to vertical arrangement, reinforcing the strong Cadillac identity — both during the day and at night.

A bolder front-end includes a standard illuminated front crest and, on the V-Series and Premium Luxury Platinum trims, an illuminated grille surround. Rear lighting has been refined while remaining unmistakably Escalade.

New for the 2025 Escalade are available 24-inch wheels, the largest ever offered on an Escalade, and a new exterior color Aegean Stone, a bold, deep green gray with a confident solid appearance, and power open-and-close doors are also available.

Inside, much of ESCALADE IQ’s interior design comes to life, balancing technology and luxury for an immersive experience for drivers and passengers.

Two new interior palette options are available. Renaissance Red features a leather interior, adorned with a faceted quilt and perforated seats, and a dark open pore wood veneer with a high contrast pore filler to complete the look.  Sheer Gray features a contrasting leather and heathered grey fabric, faceted quilted and perforated seats, and high gloss wood veneer utilizing a linear marquetry technique to create a layering effect of tones and textures. Customers can personalize their interior lighting, choosing from 126 color ambient lighting options in two zones.

Additionally, the Escalade-V receives a new authentic carbon-fiber performance-focused interior, surrounded by a deep Jet Black leather interior and uniquely quilted and perforated seats exclusive to V-Series.
