2023 CADILLAC ESCALADE | 1GYS4CKL4PR292662
Specifications
4
~$150,000
Engine: 6.2L Supercharged V8 (LT4)
Torque: 885 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.4 s
The fifth-generation Escalade redefined Cadillac’s flagship SUV with a focus on refinement, technology, and — in the case of the Escalade-V — breathtaking performance. Equipped with the same LT4 supercharged V8 found in the CT5-V Blackwing, the Escalade-V turns a 3-ton luxury truck into a straight-line rocket. With magnetic ride control, air suspension, full-time AWD, and Brembo front brakes, it brings supercharged muscle to a full-size SUV platform.
While standard trims prioritize comfort, trims like Sport Platinum and V-Series sharpen the Escalade’s character with darker aesthetics, firmed suspension tuning, and more direct throttle mapping. Despite its size, the Escalade-V delivers real performance — both in launch power and high-speed composure — challenging vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and even some performance sedans in a straight line.
Visually, the Escalade-V stands out with quad exhaust outlets, exclusive grille and fascia, 22” wheels, and subtle "V" badging. Inside, semi-aniline leather, performance graphics, and V-specific instrumentation reinforce its elevated identity.
Though far from a track car, the Escalade-V justifies its place in a sport-focused registry by combining unmistakable presence, technical sophistication, and staggering acceleration — all while delivering true Cadillac comfort.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“Escalade” refers historically to the act of scaling walls — symbolic of the vehicle’s mission to elevate Cadillac into the luxury SUV realm when it launched in 1999. In its current form, the Escalade is built on GM’s T1XX platform shared with the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon, but offers exclusive interior design, independent rear suspension, and Cadillac-exclusive technology like Super Cruise and the AKG sound system.
This generation is powered by V8 engines or a turbodiesel inline-6, with RWD or 4WD and the industry’s most advanced infotainment display suite.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
“Escalade” is used unchanged across global markets and interpreted as a symbol of elevation, exclusivity, and strength. The name has become a cultural reference point — particularly in North America — representing success, opulence, and bold taste.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
Exterior colors include Black Raven, Crystal White Tricoat, Satin Steel, Sandstone Metallic, Dark Emerald Frost (matte), and Galactic Gray, with premium tintcoats and tri-coats available on upper trims. The Escalade-V adds unique monochrome and black-accented exterior styling, plus model-specific badging.
Interiors are offered in Gideon Whisper Beige, Jet Black, Brandy, and Parchment, with genuine materials such as open-pore wood, leather-wrapped dashboards, suede microfiber headliners, and available semi-aniline leather seating.
Wheels range from 22” polished multi-spokes on Luxury trims to 22” darkened or gloss black performance wheels on Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum, and Escalade-V, with distinctive V-Series red calipers and wider tires for the high-performance model.

vs Competitors
The Escalade competes with the Lincoln Navigator, BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, Range Rover, and Lexus LX 600. Among these, the Escalade offers the most commanding road presence, the largest infotainment display in the class, and the most powerful audio system. Its Super Cruise system rivals Mercedes DRIVE PILOT and Tesla Autopilot for hands-free capability. While the Navigator emphasizes softer luxury and the GLS offers European ride refinement, the Escalade wins with tech integration, performance (Escalade-V), and interior theater-like immersion.
Fun Fact
The Escalade-V is the most powerful full-size SUV ever produced by General Motors, with a 682 hp supercharged 6.2L V8 derived from the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. It does 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds, making it faster than many German performance sedans, while weighing over 6,200 lbs. Despite its size, it features launch control, track mode, and a Quad-tip exhaust tuned for thunder.
