A new set of spy shots reveals that the upcoming facelifted 2025 Cadillac Escalade will feature an overhauled interior, mirroring that of the fully electric Escalade IQ unveiled last month.
In an effort to prevent sibling rivalry, Cadillac designers have equipped the ICE model with the same massive 55-inch display found in its electric counterpart. While a significant portion of the dashboard is covered in vinyl, we can still discern redesigned climate vents and an additional reclining touchscreen on the center console. The steering wheel, borrowed from the Celestiq and the Escalade IQ, features two spokes and an array of touch-sensitive buttons.

The dashboard of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ
Unlike their common interiors, the ICE-powered 2025 Escalade lineup will look different than the electric IQ version. As this is a facelifted model, a substantial portion of the bodywork will be retained from the current Escalade, along with a similar powertrain lineup. However, both the front and rear ends will undergo a comprehensive redesign, which the latest camouflaged prototypes attempt to conceal beneath heavy covers.
At the front, the new vertically-stacked LED lighting units are positioned higher than before, likely replacing the vertical headlights of the current model. The large grille boasts a fresh v-shaped pattern, matching the updated lower bumper intake, indicating that this is a prototype of the performance-focused Escalade V.
Cadillac’s team took the effort to camouflage the new 24-inch wheels, but we can still discern their six-spoke design and the presence of six-lug nuts (as opposed to the eight-lug nuts found on the heavier Escalade IQ). Shifting our focus to the rear, the changes seem to center around the redesigned LED taillights, which might adopt a split configuration and potentially have a different shape than before. The prototype showcases the quad tailpipes of the Escalade V and appears to feature a slightly revised rear bumper.
We don’t have an exact date for the debut of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade. However, considering that the IQ version has already been unveiled and the prototypes have started peeling out some of their camouflage, it shouldn’t be long until the model bursts out in the open.
