Is the 2025 Cadillac Escalade-V ESV a luxury performance SUV worth the NEW price?

Wow, Joe one of my favorite SUVs, true American luxury 😊😊😊.

You have good taste

[@Irishmanbikes]

This is a massive vehicle. I love the throaty sound. $161,000 is a lot of money, but I think you are getting a lot features and tech.

[@gilmendoza8092]

I was thinking the same thing, the list goes on and on, you can tow in luxury and Cadillac does have a more affordable maintenance compared to Euro vehicles.

That thing is awesome. I have had all three GM big SUV’s and I currently drive a 2023 Suburban HC (My Denali got destroyed by an impaired driver but I walked away with just a broken rib). The 2025 is awesome in every way but two- it needs ventilated, massaging seats in the middle and back. My four kids would love that! They all fight over the middle seats now.

[@DeadlyDizzle-yn1vz]

I love cars but I can’t lie, I’m here just for Raiti 😂. Guy’s just too entertaining, needs his own TV show reviewing random things👌🏾

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The Cadillac Escalade is such a luxurious ride! It’s got that bold design and tons of space inside, making it perfect for road trips or just cruising around.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right about that!

This cadillac is a combination of all its luxury competitors... the range rover leather seat, the amg gls 63 exhaust, lx600 mini refrigerator, bmw x7 carbon fiber. The only thing left out was a split tailgate. For it's starting price and luxury, it's unmatched. Most geeman luxury suvs wouldn't give u a better 3rd row legroom.

The Michael Jordan and Tom Brady of car reviewers. Raiti knocks it out of the park every time.

[@vinnyraj]

Still can't believe it comes standard with manual (second row) seats in a $150k+ luxury vehicle. Luckily you can add the executive seating package for $7,500 to get power second row seats. How does it drive with the updated magnetic ride? Is body roll more controlled?

[@john7156]

There’s just something cool about having a full size luxury SUV with an awesome sounding V8 under the hood. It’s becoming rarer to see these days.

[@DH-mp6fg]

Beautiful ride, just wish they were more reliable..161kl😅😅😅😅

[@vidsbyme2590]

Would people prefer a big screen TV AKA BMW 7 rather than 2 small screens? After purchase, gas and insurance I will never spend the $ on it but I do like it. I do wish the hood was a little more aggressive. Rather, IMO, make the front look rather plain.

[@radientproductions9799]

WOW , this is the ULTIMATE SUV

[@enayetchowdhury105]

Great review 👏 👌. On a side note do you know why 2025 Cadillac Escalade did not incorporate Bose speakers on second row captain seats head rest like 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate executive seating? I think the V model should have those options. Thank you so much. 😊

[@michaelmancini5773]

Beautiful rig, but really how many people can aspire to one of these, I just put out $67K for a Tundra limited, love the performance, but am still shocked at what i spent, these trucks are becoming way too pricey, an entry level full size work truck will set you back in the low $50K range,,,, INSANE

[@alanwentkiewicz4429]

Beautiful vehicle. - @Joe, My question that I still haven't figured out is the bottom LED on the headlight strip, the side cornering light or is it an additional light for the adaptive as I have not seen it lite up yet in any video.

[@RaitisRides]

I will have to check in to it for you!

[@sahiltekriwal9736]

[@performingspecs7841]

I’m curious on how well the headlights work at night.

[@bulolo_wilber]

First, Genesis GV80 with the OLED, then Lucid Gravity, then the 2025 Audi models and now the Escalade, that's amazing to see. I think Mercedes uses OLED too but hey, LCD should be ditched by all vehicle OEMS from now on forth imo.

[@RaitisRides]

Actually Cadillac’s 38in system had OLED

[@masterchief9005]

I wish that was true. Seems the new model Escalades have been having complete engine failures with hardly any mileage on them. It's a known issue and I'm hoping to find out if it has been addressed on the 25 models. Reading some of the horror stories of the engine bricking on Escalades/Vs with just a couple thousand miles, especially at this price point, is a big concern. Your Escalade will never be the same once it needs an engine swap.

[@everestteiken8537]

There are very steep slopes where I live. Do you have any idea if the bottom might scrape the ground when going downhill? I mean the point where the slope meets the flat road. Do you think it would be suitable for Europe's narrow roads?

[@RaitisRides]

That is very interesting!
