All pricing includes destination and it’s important to note that the addition of all-wheel drive bumps up the price by $3,000 for most models. The V is the only exception with the system coming standard on that particular trim level. The beefed-up pricing also covers some of the updates that the Slade is receiving for 2025 with a new front fascia and several new wheel options including the addition of 24-inch wheels which is the first time an Escalade model will offer wheels that big. The V’s price in particular is also a big jump from before with the 2025 model being over $7,000 more expensive than last year’s model.
The interior however receives the bulk of the updates with the driver getting a large 35-inch screen while the passenger gets a smaller 20-inch screen for a total of 55-inches with passengers getting rear-mounted 12.6-inch screens if they opt for the Executive Package. Nearly all trim levels will also get Super Cruise standard and come with Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and adaptive air suspension.
Performance for the new Slade will be mostly unchanged with the diesel engine being dropped due to low sales. That means buyers will have the choice of either a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that still makes 420 hp or its supercharged counterpart that makes 682 hp in the V model. A 10-speed automatic will continue to be the sole transmission available.
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade will go in production later this year at GM’s Arlington assembly plant in Texas with the first models rolling out to dealerships later this year
