What is the Cadillac Escalade-V?
Just as the T. rex was the one of the biggest and the baddest carnivores on the planet, so too is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade the king of the hill in General Motors' portfolio. And while the standard Escalade's 6.2-liter V8 and six-cylinder turbodiesel are perfectly adequate at hustling around its considerable mass, there are some who crave more meat on the bone. Something to feel peerless in when pulling up near performance-oriented luxury SUVs such as the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63, V8-powered Land Rover Range Rover and BMW Alpina XB7. Enter the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V — the brand's first application of the V performance moniker to an SUV, and the Giganotosaurus of the luxury SUV world.
