Cadillac has unveiled the 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series, a run of 252 vehicles marking the brand's 125th year. Orders are already open in the United States and Canada. This is the first Escalade to receive the Collector Series treatment, extending a programme previously used to commemorate important moments in Cadillac's performance history.
There are two exterior choices: Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat. Each colour will carry numbered commemorative labels spanning the years 1902 to 2027. In an unusual touch for a factory special edition, buyers can select their vehicle identification number and serial number, adding a personal element to the anniversary theme.
Cadillac has concentrated its changes on materials and detailing. Forged 24-inch wheels are joined by carbon-fibre trim around the grille, on the mirror caps, the lower rear fascia and the engine cover. Blue brake calipers and dark exterior badges distinguish the Collector Series further, while the door-mounted puddle lamps project a V8 heritage graphic.
Inside, black and Sheer Gray surfaces are combined with Santorini Blue seatbelts and stitching. The colour has a connection to Cadillac's V-Series identity and its V-Series.R competition car. Special illuminated sill plates, collector badging, premium mats and a matching blue key fob carry the theme through the cabin. Cadillac is presenting this as a design and collectability package rather than announcing a new engine or additional performance.
The US starting price is approximately $239,000, including the destination charge but excluding taxes and other fees. Dealers determine the final selling price. The debut came ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, where Cadillac's involvement in racing gives the 125-year celebration an immediate setting. Scarcity, personal numbering and the particular colour treatment are the principal reasons this Escalade stands apart from the regular V model.
