What Happened
Cadillac unveiled the 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series on October 22, 2026, ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The vehicle kicks off Cadillac's 125th anniversary and is the first Escalade to join the brand's Collector Series, combining the commanding presence of Escalade, the performance character of V-Series and design details created for collectors. The 125th Anniversary represents the first Escalade Collector Series and honors Cadillac's legacy through a highly limited, serialized expression of performance luxury, with customers able to select their VIN and serial number. The special edition will be sold in the United States and Canada and is now available for ordering, with pricing starting at approximately $239,000 including the destination freight charge and excluding tax, title and dealer fees; the dealer sets the final price.
252units
The Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series is the first Collector Series Escalade, offered in two finishes with vehicles labeled 1902-2027.
- Unique forged 24-inch wheels
- Carbon-fiber grille surround, lower rear fascia, mirror caps and engine cover
- Blue brake calipers and dark-finish badges
- Heritage V-8 puddle lamps
- Two signature finishes: exclusive Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat
- Black and Sheer Gray two-tone interior with Santorini Blue stitching
- Unique illuminated sill plates that mark the special occasion
- Exclusive interior badging
- Santorini Blue seat belts
- Premium floor mats created for the Collector Series
- Exclusive blue key fob
Santorini Blue serves as the defining interior accent, a color inspired by the blue within the V-Series emblem's Mondrian pattern and developed as a visual link between the fifth-generation V-Series and the Cadillac V-Series.R race car. It was first introduced on the Cadillac Project GTP concept and has since appeared across V-Series race cars, road cars and concept vehicles, including the Petit Pataud and Le Monstre Collector Series editions. Cadillac's Collector Series has run since 2022, pairing limited editions with significant milestones, design stories and racing achievements; the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series connected Cadillac performance to the brand's entry into Formula 1.
First year in the 1902-2027 labeling carried by the Collector Series vehicles, which commemorates each year of Cadillac's history.
