For Sale: 2023 Cadillac Escalade in Bradenton, Florida

2023 Cadillac Escalade-V �€" Crystal White Tricoat, Supercharged LT4, Full-Size Luxury SUV with 682 HP Why This Car Is Special The 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V is the first factory-supercharged full-size luxury SUV Cadillac has ever produced. When GM introduced the Escalade-V for the 2023 model year, it dropped an LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 �€" the same engine architecture that powered the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing sedan �€" into a vehicle that seats seven and weighs over 6,000 pounds. The result is 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque channeled through a 10-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel-drive system. That output made the 2023 Escalade-V the most powerful production SUV Cadillac has ever built at the time of its launch. The LT4 is a supercharged pushrod V8 with a 1.7-liter Eaton TVS supercharger mounted in the valley of the engine. It is the same basic engine family that Chevrolet used in the C7 Corvette Z06, though retuned for the Escalade-V's torque demands and broader powerband. For a truck-based platform riding on a full-length steel frame, that combination is unusual. Most performance trucks and SUVs in this class use turbocharged engines. The Escalade-V uses positive-displacement forced induction, which delivers torque immediately and linearly rather than in a rush. The character of the powertrain is deliberate and usable across the full RPM range. Cadillac also equipped the Escalade-V with a suspension system that is genuinely engineered rather than simply borrowed from the standard truck platform. Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 �€" the fourth generation of GM's magnetorheological damper technology �€" continuously adjusts damping rates based on road conditions and driver inputs. Air Ride adaptive suspension allows ride height adjustment and helps keep the body controlled under hard acceleration and cornering. For a vehicle of this size, the ride quality in comfort mode is notably compliant, while Sport or Track modes tighten the chassis response considerably. This particular example presents in Crystal White Tricoat over a Mahogany leather interior �€" a combination that photographs well and wears elegantly. The odometer shows approximately 40,100 miles, putting it in the range of a lightly used, fully depreciated example with the full feature set intact. The underside photos confirm the absence of any rust or structural concerns, consistent with a Florida-climate vehicle.
