2025 Cadillac Escalade V Spied with Rotating Dashboard

• The 2025 Cadillac Escalade V has been spotted testing out of the blue, showing off sharp styling and a revised dashboard.
• The Escalade’s front design brings it in line with the brand’s expansive EV design, with slim headlights above the main vertical headlight units.
• A new curved screen extends across the dashboard, joined by a smaller screen that rises from the center console.

GM’s lineup of full-size SUVs is receiving a mid-cycle refresh for 2025, and our spy photographer has captured the sporty 2025 Cadillac Escalade V completely unwrapped. The exterior design isn’t too far from the current Cadillac Escalade, but pictures of the cabin show a heavily revised dashboard with a curved screen that runs from A-pillar to A-pillar.

The Escalade V’s new front end brings it in line with the recently updated XT4 crossover and Cadillac’s EV lineup, despite packing a hot-breathing V-8 powertrain. The horizontal headlamp unit is now much slimmer and appears to be used as daytime running lights, while the headlamp has been moved to a lower vertical housing, which resembles that of the electric Lyriq.

The grille has been slightly revised and the taillights have minor changes to the LED elements, but the rear is mostly unchanged. This performance-oriented V model rides on new 24-inch wheels that appear to be wrapped in 285/40ZR24 Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02 tires. It will also feature a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, which currently makes a whopping 682 horsepower and torque of 653 pounds. That’s sent to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic.

Inside the refreshed Escalade is where the real changes lie. The dashboard has been completely reworked, with the current curved dual-screen setup replaced by a larger curved display that stretches the entire width of the dash. This rests on a long piece of wood with a horizontal line of air conditioning vents.

The center console has a floating design with storage space below. The hard gear selector is no longer there, replaced by a sleek dial with a screen that pops up at a 45-degree angle. The 2025 Escalade, along with the bold V model, should go into production in the second half of 2024, so the official reveal you should be close.
