Martin Hayes, chief engineer for the
2025 Escalade, said the model has always
been the brand's technology flagship,
" starting with the 1999 Escalade that offered
the safety and convenience of
OnStar hardware as standard equipment.
The 2025 Escalade features the best
technology Cadillac has to offer, " he said.
Among the highlights are the previously
mentioned enormous pillar-topillar
curved display. It includes voice
control, navigation, an app store and
more, including available Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto. What else?

* AKG Studio 19-speaker auto system
standard, and an available 36-speaker

with a three-year complimentary subscription
to OnStar Super Cruise. A
paid subscription is available after that.

for Premium Luxury, Sport, Premium
