Two-thirds of GM’s latest-generation full-size SUVs—the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon—have been revealed so far this year, leaving the best (or at least the ritziest) for last: Cadillac’s Escalade. The first images of the big Caddy, which is set to be revealed any moment now, have leaked online, apparently pulled from a video AOL Autos/Autoblog posted that has since been taken down. Cadillac previously released a photo of the Escalade’s interior, but this is our first peek at the exterior.
- Instrumented Test: 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport Twin-Turbo V-6
- Instrumented Test: 2013 Cadillac XTS FWD Premium
- Instrumented Test: 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6
As you can see, the Escalade looks about how you’d expect—it’s angular and still follows Cadillac’s well-established Art and Science design theme. We don’t have any details about the rest of the 2015 Escalade quite yet, but we can safely assume it will again share a great deal underneath with the Tahoe and Yukon, including a variation of those trucks’ latest-generation small-block V-8 engines. As was the case previously, expect the Cadillac to use a slightly larger and more powerful V-8 than its siblings—in this case, we’d put our money on GM’s new 6.2-liter V-8, which is optional in the Yukon and unavailable in the Tahoe. Look for full details soon, but in the meantime, head over to Carscoops, which has built a gallery filled with screenshots of today’s leaked video.
