The Escalade continues to be one of Cadillac's flagship products. Already a segment leader, it receives an update for 2025. The body has been slightly redesigned and the dashboard now features a huge 55-inch display. Under the hood, a 6.2-litre V8 is the standard engine, producing 420 horsepower. The high-performance Escalade-V cranks output up to 682 horsepower. You can stop looking for the 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine, which has been discontinued for 2025.
