This year marks the birth of the first V-series Escalade. The high-performance Escalade V will likely be powered by a 682-hp version of the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine borrowed from the award-winning CT5-V Blackwing 10Best sedan. The Escalade V goes on sale in the summer of 2022 and will sit at the top of the Cadillac lineup with a starting price of $149,990.
