To say that the luxury brand high-energy performance series, in fact, most car companies have to build, in addition to Mercedes-Benz "AMG", BMW "M" and Audi "RS" and other well-known series, from the North American luxury brand Cadillac "V" series, is also a very strong symbol.
Recently, Cadillac officially released its escalade-V official map, which will be launched as the first high-performance SUV of the V series and is expected to be launched in 2023.
As a high-performance SUV, the new car does not seem to be much different from the ordinary version in appearance, or even less dazzling than the ordinary version. Considering that the new car is a model with a focus on performance, the chrome decoration on the ordinary version of the body has been replaced by a blackened style.
For example, the chrome-plated middle mesh on the front face has been replaced by a blackened mesh design, and the chrome trim strips on the edges have been blackened, and there has been no obvious change in the shape.
On the side of the body, the design of the current model is still maintained, and only the chrome trim and chrome wheels are blackened. At the same time, the most obvious thing about the new car as a special edition model is the "V" logo at the front door and the addition of red sports calipers, all of which enhance the performance of the car.
Referring to the dimensions of the regular version of the model, the new Careyd has a length, width and height of 5766*2059*1942mm, and the wheelbase has reached 3407mm, which is a proper full-size SUV.
In terms of the tail, it is the new car as the biggest change in the performance version, replaced by the exhaust layout of the bilateral four out, so that the new car has more of a performance car flavor.
In terms of interior, the car does not have much information exposure for the time being, but from the appearance of the car continuing the ordinary version, its interior and the ordinary version believe that there will not be much difference. It is reported that the new car only shows its special status through the V-Series nameplate.
Referring to the ordinary version of the model, the new car adopts the latest family screen design, from a 14.2-inch full LCD dashboard with a 16.9-inch multimedia display, the overall still retains the fashion and business atmosphere.
In terms of power, the official has not announced the parameter information of its power system, but in view of the fact that the ordinary version has been equipped with a naturally aspirated V8 engine, it is expected that the new car will be equipped with the same 6.2L V8 supercharged engine of the CT5-V Blackwing model.
For reference, the CT5-V has a maximum power of 498 kW (677 hp) and a maximum torque of 893 Nm, and the transmission will most likely use GM's latest 10AT and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
As a full-size performance SUV, the current competitors are undoubtedly Mercedes-Benz's AMG GLS 63, and BMW X7 xDrive M50i and other models with the same high-performance attributes.

In order to compete with more high-performance models, Cadillac created the first V-series model CTS-V in 2004, followed by XLR-V convertibles, STS-V sedans, CTS-V station wagons, ATS-V, CT4-V, CT5-V and CT6-V, and ESCADA-V will be launched as the brand's first V-series SUV model.
Perhaps this new V-series SUV model will not have access to the domestic market, but according to the latest news, the new generation of Clared ESCALADE ESV real vehicles appear in domestic ports.
For reference, the previous generation of Escalade 2017 models is priced at 1.488 million yuan in China.
