Cadillac teased us earlier this week About one Escalade V, and now it’s here. Hello 2023 Cadillac Escalade V series.
Unfortunately, these names and photos are all that Cadillac will reveal today. It says that specs and more information will arrive “in the spring of 2022.” Well, that means we’ll need to wait and see exactly what kind of monstrous engine lies under the skin of this behemoth – current indications suggest it’s a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 liter found in CT5-V Blackwing, but there is no confirmation on that.
At the very least, these photos give us a glimpse of the visual changes Cadillac has made to the Escalade V series. It has a revised front bumper with splitter-like treatment for the leading front edge. Just above that, an additional grille mimics the main grille at the top. The LED running lights are housed in the vents like new. Cadillac has an additional “V” badge on the front doors. Also visible from the side are new and large dark gray painted wheels brake and red painted calipers. Those wheels appear to be wrapped in what we think are Bridgestone Alenza tires – there are summer performance versions of Alenza, so we can hope that’s what this Escalade is running.
From the rear, the Escalade V-Series appears to be equipped with a new rear bumper. This makes room for an interesting quad exhaust with squared intakes and a fake diffuser that looks super fancy. Once again, the “V” logo is detected again.
Both Escalades shown here are standard-length models, but we wouldn’t bet on Cadillac offering the V-Series in extended ESV length, too.
The only interior photo showing a close-up of the steering wheel is also emblazoned with the “V” logo. In addition to these photos, Cadillac has released another teaser video (above) that allows others to hear the V8 engine under the hood of this SUV. It also includes a snapshot of the tachometer, where we were able to produce a red line of approximately 6,200 rpm. We’ll need to wait until the end of the year to find out the rest of the details behind Cadillac’s first Escalade V-Series.
