The Cadillac Escalade-V has never been particularly subtle, but the American luxury brand has found a way to make its flagship performance SUV even more extravagant. Meet the 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series, a limited-production special edition with an eye-watering price tag.
Unveiled ahead of the 2026 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, the anniversary model celebrates 125 years since Cadillac’s founding in 1902. It combines the Escalade-V’s imposing presence with exclusive styling details and an unusually high level of personalization.
Only 252 examples will be produced, making this one of the rarest versions of the Escalade yet. Buyers will even be able to select their vehicle’s identification number and commemorative serial number, subject to availability, adding another layer of exclusivity.
However, exclusivity comes at a substantial cost. Cadillac has priced the anniversary edition at approximately $239,000, making it roughly $70,000 more expensive than a regular Escalade-V.
Carbon Fiber, 24-Inch Wheels, And Plenty Of Attitude
The Collector Series is available in two exterior finishes: exclusive Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat. Both are complemented by dark exterior badging, blue brake calipers, and distinctive forged 24-inch wheels.
Carbon fiber features prominently, appearing on the grille surround, mirror caps, lower rear fascia, and engine cover. Cadillac also adds heritage-inspired V8 puddle lamps and commemorative details celebrating the company’s history.
Santorini Blue Gives The Cabin A Unique Look
Inside, the anniversary Escalade-V features a two-tone Black and Sheer Gray interior accented by Santorini Blue stitching. The striking blue theme extends to the seat belts and even the vehicle’s exclusive key fob.
Additional touches include illuminated anniversary sill plates, special interior badging, and Collector Series floor mats. Cadillac says the blue accents reference its V-Series performance heritage and racing-inspired design language.
The Familiar Escalade-V Muscle Remains
Although the anniversary treatment focuses primarily on exclusivity and appearance, the Escalade-V’s underlying performance credentials are still a major attraction. The regular model’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 produces 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque.
Cadillac hasn’t announced any mechanical upgrades specifically for the Collector Series, suggesting buyers are paying for rarity and distinctive finishes rather than additional performance. Given the Escalade-V’s already formidable output, that probably won’t disappoint many enthusiasts.
Just 252 Examples, With A Serious Price Tag
Cadillac is accepting orders for the anniversary edition in the United States and Canada, with pricing starting at approximately $239,000 before taxes and dealer fees. Final transaction prices will be determined by individual dealerships.
For collectors who want one of the most exclusive Escalades ever offered, the 125th Anniversary Collector Series certainly makes a statement. Whether its unique styling and limited production justify the substantial premium is another question entirely.
