Cadillac's 125th-Anniversary Escalade-V Costs $239,000, and Only 252 Will Be Built
The first Escalade in Cadillac's Collector Series adds forged 24-inch wheels, carbon trim, and blue cabin accents, but no announced power increase over the $169,300 V-Series.
Cadillac is starting its 125th-anniversary year with an Escalade that costs roughly $67,000 more than the one it's based on. The 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series starts at approximately $239,000 including destination, and production is capped at 252 units for the U.S. and Canada.
That puts it far above the rest of the range laid out in our 2027 Cadillac Escalade pricing breakdown. A regular 2027 Escalade-V lists at $169,300 before destination, or about $172,200 with the $2,895 delivery fee reported for the 2027 lineup. Taxes, title, and dealer fees come on top of the Collector Series price, and Cadillac says dealers set the final figure.
What the extra money buys
The premium pays for exclusivity and trim, not extra performance. Cadillac hasn't announced any powertrain changes and refers only to V-Series performance. The standard Escalade-V uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 rated at 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque.
Two paint colors are offered: Vibrant White Tricoat and Midnight Stone Frost, the latter exclusive to this edition. Cadillac's consumer site says each color gets 126 examples, numbered 1902 through 2027, one for every year since the brand was founded. Buyers can also pick their VIN and serial number.
Outside, the changes are mostly finishes and hardware:
- Forged 24-inch wheels unique to the edition
- Carbon fiber on the grille surround, lower rear fascia, mirror caps, and engine cover
- Blue brake calipers and dark-finish badges
- Puddle lamps that project a heritage V-8 emblem
The cabin is trimmed in Black and Sheer Gray with Santorini Blue stitching, matched by blue seat belts and a blue key fob. Illuminated sill plates, special badging, and dedicated floor mats round out the package. Santorini Blue first appeared on the Project GTP concept and has since been used on the V-Series.R, the prototype that took all three IMSA GTP titles this season.
The first Escalade in the Collector Series
Cadillac has run limited Collector Series editions since 2022, mostly on its V-Series sedans, including the Petit Pataud and Le Monstre cars tied to its Le Mans history. The most recent, the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series, marked the brand's move into Formula 1. This is the first time the program has reached the Escalade, which Cadillac revealed ahead of this weekend's U.S. Grand Prix in Austin.
Measured against the regular V-Series, the anniversary package adds about 39% to the sticker. That's a steep price for paint, carbon trim, and a numbered plaque, but with only 252 examples spread across two countries, Cadillac is betting collectors won't do that math.
Several details remain open. Cadillac hasn't said when deliveries start or whether the edition is offered in standard length, long-wheelbase ESV form, or both. It also describes this Escalade as the model that kicks off the anniversary but hasn't named what follows. Orders are open now.
