Cadillac is celebrating its 125th anniversary and it’s kicking off the party with a limited-run version of the Escalade-V, which carries a sky-high price.

The 2027 Cadillac Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series will be limited to just 252 units for Canada and the United States.

In Canada, the special-edition full-size SUV will cost around $325,000, including destination freight charge and federal luxury tax.

This is the first Escalade to carry Cadillac’s Collector Series label.

The Escalade-V is a high-performance version of the Escalade full-size SUV. Its 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine produces 682 hp and 653 lb.-ft. of torque.

“The Escalade-V Collector Series 125th Anniversary Edition celebrates Cadillac’s heritage and our uncompromising approach to performance luxury,” said Kristian Aquilina, vice president, Global Cadillac, in a news release. “From its exclusive design to its highly limited availability, this special edition gives collectors a distinctive way to celebrate Cadillac’s legacy while looking ahead to its future.”

What’s special about the Collector Series vehicle?

Buyers of this Collector Series model will be able to select their VIN and serial number, adding to the personalization options of a rare vehicle.

The Collector Series SUV will be offered in two colours, Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat, which Cadillac points out helps emphasize the large SUV’s presence.

Vehicles will be labelled with 1902 – 2027, to commemorate Cadillac’s years of existence.
