2026 Cadillac Escalade-V V-Series

The Escalade-V is the high-performance version of Cadillac's full-size luxury SUV, the one that goes after the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 and BMW XM. It drives with a surprising mix of straight-line urgency and composed body control, though you'll feel its size in tight corners. Inside, the cabin is huge and plush, with three rows of seating and a 38-inch curved OLED display that dominates the dash. Its hand-built 6.2L I8 cranks 682 horsepower through a ten-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, giving it the straight-line punch of a muscle car in a three-row SUV body. Super Cruise hands-free driving is standard here, and the 55-inch curved Horizon Display stretches pillar to pillar across the dash.
