Pictures are out of the 25 refresh Escalade. I like the exterior changes, the screen inside is a lot

The headlights should be much larger, it would balance out the front end. Those tiny slit headlights are too narrow and small. The 6.2 is an awesome engine though especially in V trim.

I couldn't live with the screen, it's just too much. You posted a spy shot in the GCC thread or maybe another one that had lots of fingerprints and smudges on it. Unless someone is diligent about cleaning the screen constantly it will look like this all the time. Yuck

Those aren’t the headlights, the headlights are down low on the bumper.

Lol I always thought those tiny ones were the mains. I thought the vertically stacked lights were just supplementary.

I'd still want to see a larger unit up top like on the GMC Denali. Look so much better.

They were until this refresh, now Cadillac is putting their lights down lower in the bumper. I think it works on this vehicle.

I see that Cadillac is still keeping the vertical-light styling theme that they have used for many decades. Glad to see that.....and that they still have the multi-colored pattern in their logo. Some recent Cadillacs have used a simple chrome-outline logo that looks as cheap and crappy as the one Buick used about a decade ago until, from customer-demand, they went back to their tri-color theme. The Cadillac logo, IMO, would look even better if they went back to the wreath-and-crest surround and the small merlot-birds inside.

That old logo would look totally out of place on modern Cadillacs lol

The emblem is an option. You can get the full color one or the greyed out one. I would choose the greyed out one.

Apart from the ludicrous screen, I like the rest. The headlight nitpick isn't a big deal. Cadillac will sell a ton of these.



Not for me. The wreath and crest logo immediately makes me think of the bad Cadillac era. Land barges like this:

So....what was "Bad" about them? Those were the vehicles that defined the brand...at least until the SUV craze came along and/or Cadillac abandoned their core-customers and started chasing after BMW.

In fact, one of the reasons WHY the Escalade sells so well is that it is still a bling-machine like a traditional Cadillac.

I agree with the earlier comments. though, that the Star-Ship-Enterprise dash-wide screen is a little over the top.

Looks nice to me, some subtle changes but I like it. I've liked it for a while, I think they look sharp.

SW17LS

I could write pages and pages about what was bad about them. They were poorly made with terrible materials, they were notoriously unreliable, extremely poor performance. The list goes on and on.

If Cadillac hadn’t changed their product they would be gone like Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

LH1

They were ugly and had horrible driving dynamics.

That's exactly when Cadillac became interesting to me. The CTS-V debut in 05 really impressed me. A great looking sedan with a Corvette engine? Two big Siskel and Ebert thumbs up from me

Cadillac had to start appealing to a younger demographic like me. You can't sell cars to octogenarians forever.

No way, you're dreaming. Lol 🤓
Caddy is all about the bling.

When they loose that, they're just a Chevy

SW17LS

Modern Cadillacs have plenty of bling. Bling doesn’t mean they have to look like they’re from the 1970s

Margate330

Yeah ok.
But, but, but can we still have the colors?

Doesn't look good washed out gray, IMO.
