The Cadillac Escalade is not known for subtlety. But that hasn’t stopped Cadillac from shining a higher-performance spotlight on it via the new 2023 Escalade-V model, which is now the most expensive and powerful production vehicle the company has ever built.

Cadillac estimates that the standard-wheelbase Escalade-V will hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds when launch control is activated.

Unlike many high-performance SUVs that can be optioned with stickier summer tires, the Escalade-V comes exclusively with all-season rubber.

Along with upgraded brakes and revised air springs and adaptive dampers, the Escalade-V features a snarling active exhaust that pops and crackles when you abruptly let off the accelerator.

Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driving assist comes standard on the Escalade-V.

Despite the Escalade-V’s newfound horsepower, its design tweaks, modest compared with lesser models’, don’t command significantly more attention at the curb.
