Cadillac Escalade-V: a Numbered Series of 252 Vehicles
Cadillac is preparing for its 125th anniversary with a limited edition of its large performance SUV. Unveiled on 22 October 2026, the Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series combines a supercharged V8 with exclusive detailing for the 2027 model year. Production will be limited to 252 vehicles, divided equally between Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat. The numbering references the years 1902 to 2027, connecting Cadillac’s founding with its anniversary. This is the first Escalade to carry the Collector Series designation. For collectors, the appeal lies in the combination of an identifiable version, limited production and a specific connection to the marque’s history. That rarity does not, however, establish how its market value will develop.
A Supercharged 6.2-Litre V8 at the Heart of the Project
This edition is based on the Escalade-V and its supercharged 6.2-litre V8. Quoted output reaches 682 hp, equivalent to approximately 691 metric horsepower, or PS. The engine remains central to the model’s identity: a large luxury SUV whose personality is also shaped by its powertrain. The anniversary series therefore highlights a different expression of Cadillac’s expertise from that of its electric models. Buyers should distinguish the power figure from the model designation and compare specifications expressed in the same units, particularly when looking at American and European advertisements.
Carbon Fibre, 24-Inch Wheels and Santorini Blue Accents
The exterior stands out through forged 24-inch wheels, blue brake calipers and several carbon-fibre components, including the mirror caps and grille surround. Inside, the two-tone Black/Sheer Gray cabin receives Santorini Blue stitching and seat belts. Illuminated sill plates, dedicated badges and a matching key fob complete the personalisation. Together, these details give the edition a distinctive identity. When presenting the vehicle in an advertisement, photographs of the finishes, badges and numbering will therefore be as useful as overall views of the bodywork.
What Does It Offer Enthusiasts in Switzerland?
The announced sales markets are the United States and Canada. American automotive media reports a starting price of USD 239,000. Neither Swiss pricing nor an official Swiss launch for this edition has been confirmed in the sources consulted. For Swiss Cadillac enthusiasts, the model primarily represents a new exclusive interpretation of the Escalade-V. Any potential import project should be assessed separately, clarifying vehicle availability, compliance, and warranty and servicing arrangements.
