Uncamouflaged 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V Leaks While Testing, Released Pronto

The American luxury automaker is gearing up for an all-out assault on the EV lifestyle with the Optiq 2025, 2024 Lyriq, 2026 Vistiq, 2026 Escalade IQ, and Celestiq, but that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten about its ice-powered stuff. – specifically the full-size Escalade SUV.

Chevrolet recently announced the refreshed 2025 Tahoe and Suburban full-size SUVs. GMC is almost ready for the 2025 Yukon and the updated Yukon XL. So, is anyone surprised that Cadillac is also preparing a mid-cycle facelift for its luxury siblings – the 2025 Escalade and Escalade ESV?

Well, not at all, especially if you keep a close eye on the latest rumor-based updates. As it turns out, the virtual artist better known as c_zr1 on social media has captured a post from GM-Trucks with an undisguised black model of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade V-Series. It showed no changes compared to current models that start from $152,295 for the 2024 model year.

Up front, there are multiple small LED headlights, small LED DRLs, a revised radiator grille that is now neatly divided into two pieces, and a redesigned bumper that connects to the new vents. Apart from the different sports wheels, the side profile looks unchanged, and the rear has refreshed taillights. In the cabin, meanwhile, there is a real revolution.

More precisely, instead of a half-width display-in-display instrument cluster and infotainment sector, there is now a full-width LCD that surrounds the entire dashboard with a second display in the middle, below it. As far as we can tell, it certainly feels inspired by the presentation inside the all-electric Escalade IQ, and it can be carried over to all models, not just the Escalade-V.

Naturally, since the leak comes courtesy of a member of the creative world of digital car content creators, the unofficial design project was only natural — and he released a 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V concept complete with a new color. more than simple shiny black: red, gray, green or blue. So, how do you feel about the updated 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V, and what’s your favorite CGI color if this unofficial idea gets the stamp of approval?

Additionally, note that these are not official images from General Motors, so take all leaks and renderings with a grain of salt until Cadillac makes the 2025 Cadillac Escalade series and Escalade-V models official. Also, there’s currently no word on what’s going on under the skin — so there’s no way to know what powertrains are coming for the 2025 model year.

Our educated guess, if you want our two cents on things, is that the 2025 Cadillac Escalade will feature an updated Duramax diesel with 10% more power than in the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, along with unchanged ratings for the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 and mills. of supercharged V8s.
