The Cadillac Escalade is a long SUV that is often used by celebrities and politicians. A few months ago, the First Lady of Nigeria arrived at an event in Lagos in a 2023 Cadillac Escalade worth millions. The event was held at the Royal Onikoyi Palace. The arrival of the black-coloured Cadillac Escalade carrying the First Lady was captured in a video shared online by @dior_imperial_media and reposted by Carmart Nigeria.
This year, Cadillac launched the first V-series Escalade. The high-performance Escalade V is expected to have a 682-hp version of the supercharged 6.2-litre V-8 engine from the CT5-V Blackwing sedan, which won the CarAndDriver 10Best award. It also has a menacing, blacked-out exterior appearance.
Cadillac also made changes to the Escalade’s suspension and braking systems for V duty. Tweaks to its air springs and adaptive dampers reduce the vehicle’s body motions with little impact on ride quality. The V also has six-piston Brembo front brake callipers, which make the brake pedal firmer and more responsive. Although the brake pedal of an Escalade-V ESV we drove around Arizona was a bit too grabby, the short-wheelbase model Cadillac sent for testing in our Ann Arbor, Michigan office did not have this issue.

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade comes with all-wheel drive as a standard feature. It also has six-piston Brembo performance brakes with red-painted callipers. The air suspension of the Escalade has been specifically retuned to enhance its handling in the V model. According to DaggashAutos, the 2023 Cadillac Escalade is the highest-end Cadillac model available, and it is priced at 240 million naira.
