Cadillac Escalade V (T1XX) gallery (2020–present)
Fifth generation Cadillac Escalade built on the T1XX platform, featuring independent rear suspension and a 38-inch curved OLED display featuring advanced engineering solutions.
The fifth generation Cadillac Escalade debuted in February 2020 built upon GM's T1XX body-on-frame platform architecture. A major engineering advancement was the introduction of an independent multi-link rear suspension, expanding third-row legroom by 40 percent while increasing total cargo volume. The interior set a new industry benchmark with an industry-first curved OLED instrument display measuring 38 inches diagonally with twice the pixel density of a 4K television. Sound engineering was handled by AKG, featuring an available 36-speaker Studio Reference system alongside available Air Ride adaptive suspension.
Powertrain choices include a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter L87 V8 gasoline engine and, for the first time in Escalade history, a 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six turbo-diesel producing 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, both mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. In 2022, Cadillac launched the ultra-performance Escalade-V featuring a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 generating 682 horsepower. A major 2024 mid-cycle update revised the exterior front fascia and introduced a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar interior display. Standard and optional equipment included advanced active and passive safety systems, multi-zone climate control, and upgraded interior electronics.
