The redesigned front and rear vertical LED lamps, lighting systems, and 24-inch wheels maximize the presence of The New Escalade, while the second row executive seat and power open/close door opening/closing feature provide an on-board experience for customers seeking a premium lifestyle.In addition, advanced convenience specifications such as a Pillar to Pillar 55-inch curved LED display and an AKG Studio reference sound system composed of up to 40 speakers provide an overwhelming sense of immersion to all passengers.




"The New Escalade is a model that inherits the 123-year heritage of the unique luxury brand Cadillac and is reborn as more sophisticated and intelligent with innovations toward the future," said Yoon Myung-ok, executive director of GM's Korean operations. "It will be a model that shares the customer's lifestyle, life's various stories and moments of success beyond simple means of transportation."

VIP lounge in motion, careful consideration for occupants

The new Escalade ESV will have a new "row 2 executive sheet package" for VIP customers.First of all, the power seat in the second row 14 direction, which is the core of the package, is equipped with electric position control, heat lines, ventilation, massage and lumber support functions to provide the best comfort and rest for long-distance travelers.




In addition, the command center dedicated to the second row, dual wireless charging pads, and foldable table have expanded the usability of the second row space along with the previously installed C-type USB port and 220v power outlet to complete an environment where simple meals and office work are possible.

In particular, the speaker applied to the second-row headrest is adjustable to implement a perfect surround system centered on second-row passengers, and in combination with a 12.6-inch personal display, it implements an immersive multimedia environment.

In addition, LED ambient light, which responds organically to the drive mode or passenger's taste, can be set up in 126 color options and two independent color zones, especially in combination with laser-processed door panels and indoor objects, enabling unique and unique light production throughout the room.




In addition, with the new application of the column-mounted electronic gear lever (Column Stalk Transmission Shifter), the center console has been reborn as a wider storage space, and custom wood materials, sophisticated stitching, and crystal details further enhance the overall completeness of the room.

The interior color of The New Escalade is based on ▲Jet Black, and you can select ▲ Whisper Beige with Jet Black Accents for the regular model and ▲ Sheer Gray with Jet Black Accents for the ESV model.

Design completed with light, more intense presence

The New Escalade has a modern reinterpretation of Cadillac's signature design philosophy to capture innovative changes that meet customer expectations while maintaining the brand's unique heritage.

The redesigned LED lamp and lighting system give a bold impression to the front and back of the vehicle and strengthen the brand identity.The vertical LED headlamp, which is newly applied to the front, has completed a more sophisticated and future-oriented style away from the existing horizontal/vertical configuration.It also comes with an Illuminated Front Crest with background lighting as standard, and a surround grille lighting is also added to the premium luxury platinum trim.

This change in the front is a result of reflecting the design language applied to Cadillac EVs such as LYRIQ, especially in dark underground parking lots or at night, giving Cadillac its unique ad identity with a lively and intense presence.

The rear of the vehicle has also been upgraded to a more sophisticated level.Modern impressions have been strengthened compared to existing models by adjusting the tail lamp position and improving the window design, and the huge blade LED tail lamp, which is about 1m long like the symbol of Escalade, and the bottom bumper and integrated exhaust are newly designed to realize luxury and strength at the same time.

The exterior color of The New Escalade is available in two existing colors ▲ Black Raven ▲ Crystal White Tricot, as well as ▲ Galactic Gray Metallic ▲ Argent Silver Metallic ▲ Radiant Red Tintcoat.

In addition, the largest 24-inch wheel in the history of the escalation is newly applied to enhance the overwhelming presence of full-size SUVs, while delivering stable driving and agile driving performance.

Next-generation technology that stimulates emotions, the essence of smart luxury

The New Escalade is equipped with a pillar-to-pillar 55-inch curved LED display that extends from one pillar to the other pillar, providing a beautiful design that overwhelms the entire interior.

Consisting of a 35-inch driver's screen with a resolution of 8K and a 4K and 20-inch passenger screen, the display not only visually expresses driving-related information and infotainment system configurations, but also works in an optimal combination with wirelessly connected Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto.

In addition, the newly installed command center provides an interface that directly accesses functions such as air conditioning functions, seat control, and power open/close doors, allowing drivers or passengers to operate additional vehicle functions more conveniently.

The new Escalade will also feature the Power Open/Close Door feature, which supports the Power Assist feature.The door of the vehicle can be opened and closed in a variety of ways, including outdoor door handle switches, indoor door levers, first and second row command centers, and brake pedal operation, providing dramatically improved convenience in boarding and getting off the vehicle.

AKG® Studio Reference Audio System, which is only applied to Escalade, is also in good shape.In particular, in the case of The New Escalade ESV, four speakers were added to the second-row headrest to implement perfect 3D surround sound up to second-row passengers through a total of 40 speakers.In addition, independent sound settings for each seat are possible through the setting menu, allowing drivers and passengers to listen to different music.

GM's global connectivity service, OnStar, will also be newly installed in The New Escalade.Vehicles with ON-STAR can easily connect the vehicle anytime, anywhere using a mobile phone app, providing extended digital experiences such as remote control (start, vehicle indoor temperature setting, door lock/open, horn, emergency light, lift gate unlock), vehicle status information (driving distance, tire pressure, flow rate, engine oil life, fuel efficiency), and vehicle diagnosis information.

In addition, Head-up Display (HUD) and active safety devices, which were well-received in the existing Escalade model, have been upgraded, and Night Vision System, which can greatly improve visibility and stability during night driving, has also been applied.

Explosive performance in 'Silent Precision', extraordinary suspension

Driving performance and powertrain are also key competitors of The New Escalade.It is designed based on Cadillac's'Isolated Precision' driving philosophy to maximize the sense of connection with the road surface while being quiet.

Cadillac's signature Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 system adjusts suspension damping power in real time through precise road surface data analysis more than 1,000 times per second, providing optimal ride comfort for road conditions and driving conditions.In addition, adaptive air ride suspension is combined to increase stability by lowering the garage during high-speed driving, and to adjust the garage during low speed and boarding to ensure both convenience and driving efficiency.

In addition, the stand-alone front and rear suspension effectively suppresses the shaking of the body, and allows agile and stable driving even though it is a large SUV with sophisticated handling and cornering performance.These driving technologies shine more especially when driving at high speeds and realize a luxurious ride suitable for premium SUVs.

The New Escalade is equipped with a 6.2L V8-powered direct injection engine with a maximum power of 426 horsepower and a maximum torque of 63.6kgm, and Dynamic Fuel Management, a function that varies engine cylinder operating patterns according to driving conditions, provides the best performance and fuel efficiency according to driving conditions.

The New Escalade will be available in regular and wheelbase extended versions of the "The New Escalade ESV," with two trims available, premium luxury platinum and sports platinum, respectively.The domestic launch price (based on the individual consumption tax of 3.5%) is 166.07 million won for The New Escalade and 188.07 million won for The New Escalade ESV, and the price per trim is the same.
