2023 Cadillac Escalade-V Expands V-Series Lineup

Cadillac has revealed full details surrounding the 2023 Escalade-V, the industry’s most powerful full-size SUV!

It is the first-ever Cadillac V-Series SUV, an elevation of design, performance, and technology and the purest expression of the passion that exists at the core of Cadillac.

Boasting a potent blend of refinement, power and technology, Escalade-V features performance-inspired styling and an unmistakable sound that combine for a head-turning street presence. With these distinctive attributes, the Escalade-V expands the V-Series lineup, now in its fourth generation, which offers more levels of performance while preserving the lineage of the original lineup introduced in 2004.

“Customers and enthusiasts have asked for an Escalade-V, and we’re thrilled to bring this high-performance SUV to market in the year of Cadillac’s 120th anniversary,” said Global Cadillac Vice President Rory Harvey. “We do not deploy the V-Series designation lightly. The arrival of the 2023 Escalade-V is the result of a rigorous development program that allows this highly anticipated model to meet the criteria and capability thresholds established by nearly two decades of inspired V-Series performance.”

Signature Design, Craftsmanship & Technology

Inside and out, the new Escalade-V builds on Escalade’s bold, layered design statement and sophisticated, technology-infused passenger environment. Notable exterior features include:

• Unique V-Series front and rear fascia
• Quad exhaust outlets
• Exclusive Six-Piston Brembo front brakes
• Edge Red brake calipers
• Unique 22-inch aluminum wheels

The cabin’s appointments build on the Escalade’s Platinum trim interior, offered in Dark Auburn, with Zebra Wood accents. Standard features include semi-aniline leather on all three rows, power massage front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

On the technology front, Escalade-V delivers with:

• Standard curved OLED with 38 inches of total diagonal display
• Premium infotainment experience with navigation
• 16.9-inch-diagonal color information display
• Augmented Reality which projects a live image of what is in front of the vehicle
• Standard AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker audio system
• Available Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance technology

A Supercharged Legacy

At the heart of the Escalade-V is a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine rated at 682 horsepower (508 kilowatts) and 653 lb-ft of torque (885 Nm). Standard performance elements include a 10-speed automatic transmission calibrated for Escalade-V, full-time active all-wheel-drive system and exclusive suspension hardware and software calibrations. An Escalade-V ESV version is also available.

With the full-time active all-wheel drive system to enhance traction, along with the supercharged engine, Cadillac expects the Escalade-V to be capable of 0-60 mph sprints in under 4.4 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.74 seconds at 110 mph based on initial GM testing.

“With a power-to-weight ratio among the top in its class and advanced driving technologies to put that power to the pavement, the Escalade-V offers an engaging and energetic driving experience like no other full-size luxury SUV,” said Jaclyn McQuaid, executive chief engineer, Full-Size Trucks. “More importantly, it lives up to the vigorous requirements of the V-Series Mondrian insignia.”

The 2023 Escalade-V goes on sale late this summer, with a starting MSRP of $149,990 (including destination charge).
