Cadillac, which has not issued a new car for a long time, has finally released a blockbuster new car - Escalade-V (hereinafter referred to as Celede-V). As one of the top pillar brands of American luxury, Cadillac's luxurious interpretation of the flagship model naturally does not need to worry, and the high-performance model based on the regular version of Careyd, in addition to the domineering and powerful aura at a glance, the grumpy power source in the cabin is its biggest charm.
Perhaps when it comes to Cadillac's V series performance car, many people are still very unfamiliar, after all, compared to Mercedes-Benz's AMG and BMW's M Power, Cadillac V series models have a shorter existence time, and the introduction of domestic models is even more rare. But then again, watching the German high-performance cars increasingly develop in the direction of small displacement + motor, those fans who have a special love for large displacement really need Cadillac's V series models to continue their lives.

After ct4-V and CT5-V some time ago, Cadillac finally realized that there had never been an SUV that had entered the family tree of the V family. And Cadillac, which does not stop doing two, directly launched the most powerful flagship SUV ever launched - The Careyd-V.
Although Cadillac is still confidential about the powertrain of the Careyd-V, it should be known that the regular version of the Careyd has been equipped with a 6.2L V8 naturally aspirated engine, so the new car with logo will obviously be more exaggerated. According to foreign media speculation, The Careyd-V is likely to be equipped with a 6.2L V8 supercharged engine from CT5-V Blackwing, with a maximum power of 498 kW (677Ps) and a peak torque of 893 N·m. In addition to this, there is also a sound that the Careyd-V will use the same 6.2-liter supercharged engine as the old Corvette ZR1, with a maximum power of 710Ps, matching GM's latest 10AT gearbox.

Looking for two comparisons, the current AMG GLS 63 is equipped with a 4.0T V8 engine, the maximum power is 450kW, and the peak torque is 850N·m; while the BMW X7 has not yet launched a real M Power model, the highest power M50i model is equipped with a 4.4T V8 engine, the maximum power is 390kW, and the peak torque is 750N·m. So no matter what kind of powertrain The Carey-V is equipped with, it has more say in meeting the driver's adrenaline surge.

In addition to replacing it with a more powerful "heart", the real high-performance model is naturally indispensable to the appearance of the "beautiful and edible" sports kit. So on the Careyd-V we can see, the large area of blackened nets and the same way of handling the front bumper and side decorations, large caliber four-out exhaust, exclusive wheel style, Brembo's custom brake calipers, etc., and of course, countless "V" medallions throughout the car.
Because of its huge size, if The Carey-V wants to have good control under a strong power reserve, it must have excellent strength in the chassis. You know, GM has no shortage of master chassis tuning, in addition to the dedicated engineers will provide their life's work, MRC electromagnetic suspension and adaptive air suspension will also become the standard of The Carey-V.
Although cadillac officials did not release the official picture of the interior, two wide front seats can still be seen from the outside of the car, and the 38-inch curved OLED screen on the regular version of The Careyd will naturally be retained. In terms of more details, it is likely that materials such as carbon fiber and Alcantara will be used to supplement it. In addition, on the software system, the same traction management system as the CT5-V and Chevrolet Corvette and the Cadillac Super Cruise system will also appear.

At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, Cadillac made an official debut with the new Careyd, which means that the new car is very likely to be introduced to China for sale. With the recovery of the global high-performance model market, even if Careyd-V does not introduce the Chinese market, it can still set off a lot of waves under the trend of "against the times". At the very least, in the final carnival of fuel vehicles, this behemoth, The Celede-V, will be the best utopia for countless high-performance enthusiasts with large displacement.
