Cadillac’s flagship sport utility vehicle, available in standard and long-wheelbase configurations, offers a choice of three powertrains to discerning customers. From a torquey inline-six turbo diesel to potent V8 options, the Escalade caters to diverse preferences and driving needs.
At the apex of the lineup lies the Escalade-V, featuring a supercharged iteration of GM’s fifth-gen small block engine, delivering an impressive 682 horsepower. Hennessey Performance Engineering offers upgrade packages, such as the H850, enhancing performance to 850 horsepower, further elevating the Escalade-V’s capabilities.
The H850 package, installed in the showcased Escalade-V, boasts significant power gains and meticulous enhancements to key components. With upgraded internals and a refined supercharger system, the H850 Escalade-V delivers exhilarating performance while maintaining reliability and drivability.
Despite the substantial investment required for the H850 upgrade, customers benefit from a comprehensive warranty and peace of mind. As Cadillac embraces electrification with the Escalade IQ, featuring an estimated 750 horsepower from a three-motor setup, the brand continues to push boundaries in performance and innovation.
Looking ahead, GM’s commitment to the sixth-gen small block engine family ensures a legacy of power and versatility for future Cadillac models.
