Cadillac is marking 125 years of existence, coming up shortly, with the release of the 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series. The highly exclusive rendition of its flagship high-performance SUV was unveiled ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The anniversary model represents the first SUV to receive Cadillac’s Collector Series treatment since the program launched in 2022.
Production will be strictly capped at just 252 units across Canada and the U.S. In Canada, the limited-edition Escalade-V carries a starting price of $325,000 CA, including destination freight and the federal luxury tax. This places the edition roughly $90,000 CAD above a standard Escalade-V.
Orders are scheduled to open in December 2026. Though specific allocation numbers for the Canadian market have not been disclosed, we’re going to guess around 25 units will make their way north.
Historical numbering and bespoke personalization
Founded in 1902, the luxury brand is integrating its history directly into the vehicle's identity. The production run will be split evenly between two exterior paint options: Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat, yielding 126 examples of each.
Every vehicle will feature a unique historical sequence number ranging from 1902 to 2027. Subject to availability, buyers will have the rare opportunity to choose both their specific serial number and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to match a meaningful year in Cadillac’s 125-year timeline.
Distinctive styling and Santorini Blue accents
Exterior enhancements include exclusive 24-inch forged wheels, dark-finished badges, blue brake callipers, and carbon-fibre trim surrounding the front grille, lower rear fascia, mirror caps and engine cover. Puddle lamps projecting a heritage V8 motif welcome occupants on entry.
Inside, the cabin features a black and Sheer Gray upholstery scheme highlighted by Santorini Blue stitching and seat belts—a hue inspired by the V-Series emblem and Cadillac’s motorsports program. The Santorini Blue theme extends to the vehicle's key fob. Additional interior touches include illuminated door sill plates, commemorative badging, and premium floor mats.
Under the hood, the Collector Series retains the standard Escalade-V powertrain: a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine generating 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque. Cadillac confirmed no edition-specific mechanical upgrades accompany the design and personalization package.
Bringing the Collector Series program to the Escalade follows what Cadillac Canada described as its strongest year for Escalade-V sales in 2025. It joins previous Collector Series offerings, including the CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series. Initial deliveries are expected to follow the opening of order books in December.
