Built on General Motors' T1 platform that we can also find in the latest generation of Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon, the latest Cadillac Escalade stands out for adopting GM's Global B electric architecture and equipping advanced network security for driving technologies. highly automated.

Under the hood is a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 426 hp and 623 Nm. It has Start/Stop, variable valve synchronization and cylinder deactivation. The new addition to the family is a 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel block that develops 281 hp of power and 623 Nm of torque. They are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

For those customers where power and looks just aren't enough, Mansory has the solution, although unfortunately the improvements still don't reach the mighty Cadillac Escalade-V. The latest work from the German specialist takes the big American SUV as a base and adds a complete body package as well as under-the-hood improvements to the V8 engine.

Mansory's tuning package is compatible with all versions of the SUV and adds numerous carbon fiber elements. We can see a new splitter with integrated fins, a matching grille and air intakes, wing mirror housings, side gills, hood air intakes and dummy air vents on the C and D pillars.

Inside, Mansory's signature carpets, a refreshed steering wheel and carbon fiber door sills appear. The Cadillac Escalade pictured combines beige leather upholstery for the seats with wood accents on the dash and center console. There's no shortage of aluminum pedals either.

At the rear, a roof-mounted spoiler and a pronounced diffuser stand out. The latter houses the quad pipes of Mansory's high-performance exhaust system. The set is completed by a new set of 26-inch FD.15 light alloy wheels with a black finish. They are shod with high-performance tires in dimensions 295/30 R26.

Under the hood, the German specialist offers several options for the 6.2 liter V8 engine. The most powerful raises power to 461 hp and 650 Nm of maximum torque. In addition, Mansory has informed that very soon it will offer an update for the powerful Cadillac Escalade-V and its V8 engine that, as standard, develops 691 hp and 885 Nm of maximum torque.
