Cadillac has remained the gold standard of American luxury automobiles for over a century, so it is fitting that its flagship Escalade has become the standard by which all other full-size SUVs are measured. The 2025 Cadillac Escalade offers more than just opulent luxury. It also offers a high-performance powertrain and modern technology that lets drivers take command of luxury and revel in the driving experience.
Rich, Posh Cabin for Maximum Comfort
The Escalade is a three-row SUV, and it offers drivers a spacious interior with the luxury amenities often associated with the Cadillac brand. There’s room to seat up to eight adults comfortably over the three rows of plush seating, with 8-way heated power front seats, heated second row seats, and powered 60/40 rear bench seats. While Inteluxe synthetic leather is used in the base Luxury trim, perforated leather upholstery is available in higher trim levels.
Performance-Powered Luxury
Though the Escalade is renowned for its luxury and comfort, its powertrain is also worth celebrating, as it gives the SUV a performance edge over other vehicles in its class. The standard powerplant is a 6.2-liter V8 that delivers 420 horsepower and 460 foot-pounds of torque to its 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The Escalade also offers drivers the option of selecting a RWD or 4WD drivetrain.
Next-Level Safety
Safety is a priority for drivers, and the Escalade offers exemplary safety features without sacrificing performance or luxury. The standard safety features that are incorporated into the Escalade include a Forward Collision Alert, the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control, eight airbags, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, Brake Assist, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and a Rear Pedestrian Alert.
Clever Convenience and Driver-Assistance Features
Convenience contributes to luxury, and the Escalade has many features intended to create an enhanced driving experience. Thoughtful technology is built into the Escalade, such as HD Surround Vision, Hill Start Assist, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Traffic Sign Recognition, Tire Fill Alert, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, a Power Tilt and Telescoping Steering Column, Remote Start, Super Cruise technology, and Steering-Wheel Mounted Controls.
Impressive Infotainment Technology
The Escalade has several standard infotainment features that allow its occupants to remain connected on the open road. For example, the Escalade has an Augmented Reality feature that projects a live image of what’s in front of the SUV on a 14.2-inch driver information cluster display. Other infotainment features include an AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system, the Infotainment Experience with a 55-inch HD curved display, and wireless phone charging.

The blissfully peaceful ride of your all-American luxury car will remain so as long as you replace the brake pads promptly. Brake pads last anywhere from 25,000 to 65,000 miles, which means you need to know the signs of a worn-out pad. If you experience the issues laid out below, head straight to your local Cadillac dealership for brake service.
Brake Pad Dashboard Warning
Your Cadillac helps by estimating when the brake pads are growing too thin. Using vehicle data, the system adjusts its estimates based on your driving habits. You’ll see this estimated brake pad life displayed on the instrument cluster and a warning signal when it’s time to change a pad.
Screeching When You Brake
At about the same time as your dashboard issues a warning, you’ll probably hear a light screeching when you apply the brakes. This noise means one or more pads have to go. The screeching is generated by a metal tab embedded inside the friction layer; once this layer wears down to a certain level, the tab starts scraping noisily but harmlessly against the rotor.
Harsh Grinding or Growling
When it comes to brake pads, screeching is by design, but grinding or growling most definitely is not. If you start to hear harsh metallic sounds when you brake, something is wrong; most likely one of your brake pads has worn down too far and the pad’s casing is scraping directly against the rotor disc, damaging the rotor and weakening your brakes.
Overly Slender Friction Layer
You can peer between the spokes of your wheels to visually check on your brake pads. If the friction layer seems really thin (less than a quarter of an inch), it’s probably time to replace it.
Longer Stopping Distances
Any serious issues with your brakes should prompt you to have your brake pads inspected. If you think your car is no longer stopping as firmly, have the pads checked at once. Likewise, if your car starts pulling to one side, a brake pad or other brake component might be faulty. Never continue to drive with less-than-optimal brakes.
Don’t Forget Routine Brake Service at Your Cadillac Dealership
The best way to keep tabs on your pads is with routine brake inspections. Our technicians will service your brake fluid, examine each hose, and raise your car to remove the wheels, pads, rotors, and calipers to examine each component. They can then inform you how well each pad is doing and how much longer it will reliably function.
