Cadillac Middle East announced today that the much anticipated 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V has arrived to the region. As part of the fourth generation of the V-Series lineup, the Escalade-V retains the iconic lineage while elevating performance, design and technology, and is guaranteed to dominate street presence. The industry's most powerful full-size SUV1 is now available across dealership in the Middle East.
Rated at a GM-estimated 682 horsepower at 6,000 engine rpm and 885 Nm of torque at 4,400 engine rpm, the Escalade-V's 6.2L hand-built supercharged and intercooled engine builds on a legacy of supercharged V-8 engines offered in Cadillac V-Series models, those being the second- and third-generation CTS-V models, the XLR-V, and most recently, the CT5-V Blackwing.
The Escalade-V's engine shares architectural similarities with the CT5-V Blackwing's supercharged V-8, but features a larger, 2.65L R2650 TVS supercharger that helps overcome the higher inlet and exhaust restrictions on the full-size SUV application. It spins at up to 13,500 rpm to produce approximately 10 pounds of boost and has an electronically controlled bypass valve for optimal drivability. The supercharger's unique four-lobe rotors are designed to broaden the engine's power band, with great low-end torque production and strong high-rpm power. This translates into going from 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.

A 10-speed automatic transmission pairs with the engine and features calibration for the unique powerband characteristics of its supercharging system. The transmission sends transferred torque to an advanced, full-time active all-wheel-drive system that splits torque between the front and rear wheels for optimal traction and driver control in all conditions. The system varies the torque split depending on conditions, but some torque is always directed to the front wheels. The Escalade-V also offers a combined fuel economy of 6.9 Km / L.
