The 2025 Cadillac Escalade is a petrol SUV with AWD and seating for 8. It belongs to the Gen 5 LCI generation. The ESV Sport 6.2L V8 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured ESV Sport 6.2L V8 version develops 420 hp and 624 Nm (460 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.2 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 185 km/h (115 mph). Its power output is about 53% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 14% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 14.7 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 91.0 litres (24.0 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 336 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 5,766 mm (227.0 in) in length, 2,068 mm (81.4 in) in width, and 1,948 mm (76.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 3,407 mm (134.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 1,303 litres (46.0 cu ft), expanding to 3,757 litres (132.7 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 8 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,730 kg (6,019 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 3,674 kg (8,100 lb). That cargo volume is about 129% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade is strongest on cargo capacity and towing capacity, while price stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
