Cadillac has increased the starting price of its revamped Escalade SUV by $5,700. 

Automotive News reported Thursday that the Cadillac unit was updated for 2025, but it will come with a starting price of $89,590 for its Luxury trim, which is a rear-wheel-drive model.

Based on a pricing list from Cadillac, the 2025 version of the SUV will indeed come with an $89,590 starting price for the basic rear-wheel-drive Luxury model. The vehicle originally cost $83,890.

Meanwhile, the 4wd base model, which initially cost $86,890, would now have an increased price of $92,590. The automaker also stated that the price increase is a result of all six trims now acquiring both standard and premium technology features.
