The 2025 Cadillac Escalade gets futuristic upgrades inside and out. Just don't expect it to be cheap.

The Cadillac Escalade SUV is getting a refresh for 2025 with design cues and tech borrowed from electric vehicles across the Caddy lineup.
General Motors' luxury brand has spent the last few years expanding its electric offerings with vehicles like the Lyriq and Celestiq, which have debuted new tech and styling to take Caddy into the 21st Century.
Once EV-specific features are now trickling down to the gas-powered lineup in the 2025 Escalade. Another bonus: the gas-powered Escalade is still Apple CarPlay and Adroid Auto compatible.
GM is taking a page from Tesla and dropping third-party compatibility for its electric lineup to favor its own software platform.
Here are a few photos of the refreshed Cadillac Escalade.

The front end of the new Escalade gets a futuristic upgrade with vertical headlights borrowed from the electric Cadillac Lyric and Celestiq.
More EV-inspired illumination shows up in the glowing Caddy badge. An LED border around the grille — a nod to the lit grilles on Cadillac's electric lineup — is also available on higher trim levels.

Both driver and front passenger will have their own massive touch screens in the 2025 Escalade.
On the driver's side, a curved 35-inch display houses the instrument cluster and infotainment screen. For the front passenger, a second 20-inch display sits on their end of the dash. The passenger has full control over their screen.
Altogether, the front dash of the Cadillac Escalade features 55 inches of touchscreen.
This same high-tech display will also be available on the electric Cadillac IQ. This reverses Cadillac's previous strategy of using its electric models to debut new technology.

The trim lineup for the Escalade remains largely the same for the 2025 model year, topping off at the powerful V-Series.
This available variant is emblazoned with the Cadillac V-Series badge and various other upgraded design cues throughout the interior.
Under the hood, a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine delivers 682 horsepower.

The three-row interior in the full-size luxury SUV is built around comfort for the driver and passengers.
The second row can be upgraded with an executive package that features stowable tray tables and 12.6-inch personal screens for each of the captain's chairs.
Passengers can also enjoy the natural lighting from a massive glass roof or personalize interior ambient lighting with 126 colors and two different lighting zones.

Cadillac hasn't announced pricing for the new Escalade yet, but the current model can easily hit six figures. Initial deliveries of the 2025 Escalade are set to begin before the end of this year, with full production and more availability in 2025.
