Cadillac is celebrating its 125th birthday in 2027 with a limited-series Escalade-V.
While we passed the century mark a couple decades back, Cadillac is still humming along as we head into another year, and it’s bringing something special along to celebrate. Meet the 2027 Escalade-V Collector Series, a nod to the brand that’s epitomized American luxury in the years since it first emerged in 1902. To celebrate the milestone, Cadillac is only rolling out 252 copies of its supercharged V8 Escalade-V — and you’ll need some serious cash to get your hands on one.
So, what do you get with this limited edition model? Well, the SUV is fundamentally the same as your typical 682-horsepower Escalade-V. Here, though, the Collector Series brings in special 24-inch wheels, dark-themed badges, carbon fiber for the grille surround, lower fascia, mirror caps and engine cover, heritage V8 puddle lamps and blue brake calipers. Inside, you get Santorini Blue accents on the seats (and seat belts) to contrast the black and gray two-tone upholstery. You also get illuminated sill plates, special badging, a special blue key fob and bespoke floor mats.
If you buy a 2027 Cadillac Escalade-V Collector Series, you don’t get too much in the way of options other than the exterior colors: Midnight Stone Frost or (shown here) Vibrant White Tintcoat. You can, however, choose your own VIN and serial number, adding a subtle level of personalization to your mega-powerful, ultra-exclusive full-size SUV.
How much will each of the 252 units cost? According to Cadillac’s announcement, you’ll need a cool $239,000 for the privilege. That said, they do roll in the destination fee into that figure, so that’s nice. You will still have to pay taxes and dealer fees, though if you can afford the baseline price…you get the picture. And you still get that supercharged 6.2-liter V8, which sounds insane in this sort of vehicle and gets you from 0-60 in about 4.3 seconds (keep in mind, the Escalade-V weighs in at a battleship-like 6,400 pounds).
