The Cadillac Escalade was one of many few automobiles within the firm steady that by no means obtained the high-performance V-Sequence remedy.That is altering.
Cadillac, a division of Common Motors, mentioned in a press launch this week that it might debut the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V on Could eleventh, making public pricing, availability and specs, Cadillac says the V-Sequence is "the last word expression of Cadillac design, efficiency and know-how and the purest expression of the eagerness that exists on the core of the Cadillac model."
That is been exemplified by way of the C5-generation Chevrolet Corvette Z06 engine within the first V, the CTS-V sedan. The XLR-V and STS-V adopted earlier than the subsequent era arrived.
For its present lineup, the V efficiency possibility is accessible on the CT4-V, CT4-V Blackwing, CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing sedans. The Blackwing variations get probably the most energy.
To this point, the peak of that efficiency has been the 6.2-liter supercharged V8-powered 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, placing out 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque with a typical six-speed handbook transmission.
In photographs launched earlier this yr by Cadillac, the V-Sequence model of the posh SUV incorporates a darkened however conventional grille on prime and additional vents beneath for added cooling blackened grille with a separate grille beneath. Two horizontal vents flank the grilles and run parallel to the foglights.
On the rear, the 4 exhaust pipes change the 2 on the usual mannequin.
The usual three-row 2022 Cadillac Escalade, on sale now, begins at $76,295. Patrons can select between the 6.2-liter V8 engine making 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet (lb-ft) of torque, or a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six delivering 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. A ten-speed automated transmission and 4 wheel drive are customary. The Escalade V will probably be extra highly effective than each.
The Escalade, and its longer Escalade ESV cousin, have by no means been underpowered, particularly with the V8.
