2025 Cadillac Escalade SUV Trims Comparison

All but the Escalade-V come with a 6.2-liter V8 (420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft) and rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is optional. The Escalade-V gets a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (682 hp, 653 lb-ft) that puts power to the ground through a specialized all-wheel-drive system. Every Escalade has a 10-speed automatic transmission. Standard feature highlights for the Escalade include:

Luxury
Starts off with:

• 22-inch wheels
• Hands-free liftgate
• Adaptive headlights
• Tri-zone climate control
• Synthetic leather upholstery

Every Escalade also comes with a comprehensive bundle of advanced driver assistance features, including:

• Lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance (steers the Escalade back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
• Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)

• Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Escalade and its surroundings in tight parking situations)

Premium Luxury

Selecting the Premium Luxury trim also opens up other options, such as:
