The 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V is available in both standard- and long-wheelbase configurations.

Pricing starts at $149,990, with longer-wheelbase ESV versions adding $3000 to the bottom line.

The Escalade-V features a 682-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that’s closely related to the engine found in the 10Best-winning Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

The main upgrade for the Escalade-V’s V-8 is a 2.7-liter Roots-type supercharger, up from the 1.7-liter unit found on the CT5-V Blackwing.

Both all-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission are standard on the Escalade-V.

Cadillac estimates that the standard-wheelbase Escalade-V will hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds when launch control is activated.

Unlike many high-performance SUVs that can be optioned with stickier summer tires, the Escalade-V comes exclusively with all-season rubber.

Along with upgraded brakes and revised air springs and adaptive dampers, the Escalade-V features a snarling active exhaust that pops and crackles when you abruptly let off the accelerator.

Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driving assist comes standard on the Escalade-V.

Despite the Escalade-V’s newfound horsepower, its design tweaks, modest compared with lesser models’, don’t command significantly more attention at the curb.
