Would you like 682 HP in your luxury SUV?
The Cadillac Escalade-V is like no other luxury SUV, packing a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 worthy of a muscle car. Refreshed along with the rest of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade lineup, the Escalade-V is now available to lease for $2,711 a month for 48 months. That monthly payment comes before taxes and fees, and assumes a $3,500 down payment and 10,000 miles per year.

Cadillac’s September lease offer
Cadillac
Cadillac offers flexible terms, although the low-mileage lease is the cheapest offer this month. You can specify either 12,000 miles or 15,000 miles, but this increases the monthly payment to $2,741 or $2,832, respectively. Cadillac also offers shorter terms of 24, 36, or 39 months, but that also inflates the monthly payment. Remember that all lease rates listed by automakers do not include taxes or any other fees that leasing a vehicle may incur, and offers may vary by region. We recommend entering your zip code into the current offers page on Cadillac’s website to most accurately estimate payments.
More about the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V
Cadillac
Introduced for the 2023 model year, the Escalade-V is the performance version of Cadillac’s full-size SUV. The aforementioned V8 produces 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque—increases of 262 hp and 193 lb-ft over the naturally-aspirated V8 in other Escalade models. Connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission and model-specific all-wheel drive system, it gets the Escalade-V from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.4 seconds and through the quarter mile in 12.7 seconds at 110 mph, according to Cadillac. An electric Escalade IQ will get to 60 mph nearly as quickly (4.7 seconds), but it won’t sound as good.
Available in both standard-wheelbase and extended Escalade ESV configurations, the Escalade-V also features sportier tuning for its adaptive air suspension, uprated Brembo six-piston front brake calipers, as well as more extroverted styling features like quad exhaust tips, 22-inch wheels, and a unique front and rear fascia. However, those upgrades still make use of an old-school body-on-frame architecture, so handling isn’t the Escalade-V’s forte.

Final thoughts
The Escalade-V is one of the most expensive versions of this SUV, and that was before multiple price hikes for the entire lineup. However, it’s also unique. While the standard Escalade has many direct rivals like the Lincoln Navigator, none of them offer a raucous powertrain like the one in the Escalade-V. The BMW X7 M60i and Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 come close, but they hold back a bit in the name of refinement. That makes those German SUVs the rational choice, while the Escalade-V appeals to those who don’t want to take things too seriously.
