Anniversary special edition Escalade
Cadillac has unveiled a special version of the Escalade SUV dedicated to the brand's 125th anniversary. According to the American brand's press service, cited by Kun.uz, the vehicle is based on the Escalade-V model and is priced at $239,000 — the outlet calls it the most expensive Escalade in the brand's history.
Production run and differences
The special SUV will be produced in a limited run of 252 units. The main design changes include new 24-inch wheels with blue brake calipers, carbon-fiber trim on exterior body elements — the radiator grille, bumpers and side windows — as well as special illuminated door sills.
Interior and engineering
The interior of the 'anniversary' SUV is finished in black and gray tones, with blue accents in the cabin that reference the brand's racing models: the same color is used, for example, on the seat belts and seat trim. Technically, the vehicle is equipped with a 6.2-liter gasoline V8 engine producing 692 horsepower, has all-wheel drive and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
Context
The appearance of the most expensive Escalade in the brand's history is part of Cadillac's anniversary lineup dedicated to the brand's 125th anniversary: the limited run of 252 units and the $239,000 price point indicate that the model is positioned as a collector's item. For buyers, this means access to the new product will be limited by the production volume itself, while the practical differences from the standard Escalade-V come down mainly to styling — the wheels, carbon-fiber trim, lighting and color accents in the interior. The sources do not report which markets the special version will be supplied to or when sales will begin.
