The 2026 Cadillac Escalade redefines luxury SUV presence with a refined color palette that balances timeless sophistication with bold statement finishes. Whether you prefer classic elegance or eye-catching exclusivity, Cadillac offers eight carefully curated exterior colors designed to complement the Escalade’s commanding design. Each finish reflects light differently, transforming the SUV’s signature vertical lighting, sculpted body lines, and imposing stance into something distinctly your own.

Classic Staples:

Black Raven remains the quintessential Escalade color. This deep, rich black emphasizes every angle and body line, creating dramatic contrast with the Escalade’s bright chrome accents and illuminated Cadillac crest. Black Raven works particularly well on Platinum and V-Series trims where premium brightwork and large wheel designs demand attention. 

Vibrant White Tricoat replaces the previous Crystal White Tricoat as the premium white option for 2026. This three-layer paint system delivers exceptional depth and brilliance, appearing almost luminescent in direct sunlight. The tricoat process applies base white, a pearlescent midcoat, and a protective clear coat, creating a finish that shifts subtly depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions. Vibrant White Tricoat pairs beautifully with the Escalade’s chrome or Galvano accents and works across all trim levels.

Modern Metallics:

Argent Silver Metallic offers understated elegance. This light silver metallic hides minor imperfections better than darker colors while maintaining a refined, professional appearance. It’s ideal for buyers who want sophistication without the maintenance demands of black or the attention-drawing qualities of bolder hues. 

Galactic Gray Metallic strikes the perfect balance between dark and light. This medium charcoal gray with metallic flake creates a modern, tech-forward aesthetic that complements the Escalade’s advanced digital interior. Galactic Gray looks particularly striking on Sport trim levels where gloss black accents create visual contrast. The color appears darker in shade and lighter in direct sun, giving the Escalade an ever-changing character throughout the day.​

Deep Sea Metallic brings rich blue-green depth to the lineup. This sophisticated color reads as deep navy blue in low light and reveals its teal-green undertones in bright conditions. Deep Sea Metallic works exceptionally well with the Escalade’s LED lighting elements, which appear even more dramatic against this darker backdrop. It’s an excellent choice for buyers who want distinction without resorting to red or non-metallic finishes.

Bold Statement Colors:

Radiant Red Tintcoat commands immediate attention. This vibrant red features a tintcoat finish that adds translucent depth beyond standard single-stage paint. The color appears almost crimson in certain light, then shifts to brighter red depending on sun angle. Radiant Red makes the Escalade impossible to miss in parking lots and perfectly suits buyers who view their vehicle as a statement piece. 

Aegean Stone debuts as a new-for-2026 exclusive. This sophisticated earth tone blends gray and taupe undertones, creating a warm yet refined appearance that stands apart from typical silver or gray options. Aegean Stone reads as contemporary luxury—neither flashy nor conservative—and works beautifully with both chrome and black exterior accents. Early reviews praise its uniqueness and ability to look elegant in any setting. This color represents Cadillac’s push toward more distinctive, fashion-forward paint options.​​

Ultra-Exclusive Finish (V-Series & IQL)

Magnus Metal Frost represents the pinnacle of Cadillac’s paint offerings. This ultra-rare matte metallic finish combines satin-metal sophistication with Escalade’s bold electric presence. Unlike glossy paint, Magnus Metal Frost absorbs and diffuses light rather than reflecting it, creating an almost architectural appearance. The finish appears as brushed metal with a subtle frost-like shimmer.​

If you’re researching electric SUVs and wondering what kind of driving range you can expect from the all-new 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ, you’re in the right place. Understanding EV range is essential, especially when planning daily commuting, weekend trips, or road travel from Kansas City to surrounding areas. In this post, we’ll break down the range figures for different OPTIQ configurations, explain how all-wheel drive affects range, and highlight what the OPTIQ-V performance model offers.

2026 Cadillac OPTIQ Standard Electric Range

The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ is Cadillac’s compact luxury electric SUV built on GM’s Ultium battery platform. Most configurations come with an 85 kWh battery pack, which delivers strong range numbers that help reduce charging stops between destinations. 

Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Range

When equipped with the standard single-motor, rear-wheel-drive powertrain, the OPTIQ achieves an EPA-estimated 317 miles of range on a full charge*. 

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Range

For drivers who want added traction and confidence in varied weather conditions, the OPTIQ is also available with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. AWD models still offer excellent range, with an EPA-estimated range of 303 miles on a full charge*. 

While AWD versions may have slightly lower range than RWD due to the additional motor and power needed to drive all four wheels, you still get strong capability and confident handling without a big compromise in range. 

Both RWD and AWD OPTIQ models provide up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, adding versatility for everyday use and light hauling needs. 

2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V: Performance and Range

For buyers who want a sportier and more dynamic electric SUV, Cadillac now offers the OPTIQ-V model. This version takes the standard OPTIQ platform and adds a high-performance focus with more power and enhanced driving dynamics.  

The OPTIQ-V includes a dual-motor AWD powertrain tuned for more power. It delivers an estimated 519 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in its highest performance settings, giving it a quicker acceleration character than other trims. 

While that additional output does impact energy usage, the OPTIQ-V still delivers an estimated range of 250-278 miles on a full charge*, depending on configuration and packages. That makes it a compelling choice for drivers who want performance without completely sacrificing usable EV range. The range figure remains competitive among performance-oriented electric SUVs and suits both spirited drives and daily commuting.

Real-World EV Range Considerations

EV range numbers are important, but it’s also helpful to understand what can affect actual driving range in daily life. Like all electric vehicles, the OPTIQ’s real-world range can vary based on multiple factors such as driving speed and acceleration, weather conditions, accessory use, and other factors. 

The OPTIQ comes standard with the NACS (North American Charging Standard) charge port and supports a variety of charging options, including standard AC Level 2 charging and fast DC charging.

Comfort, Technology, and Convenience

Aside from range, the 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ stands out with a host of premium features that blend comfort with cutting-edge technology. Standard technology includes Cadillac’s signature 33-inch advanced LED display, which integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment screens into one wide, seamless panel. 

Every OPTIQ also comes with Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance with a 3-year Onstar One Super Cruise plan, enhancing highway travel and reducing driver fatigue on longer trips**.  Premium audio systems, panoramic glass roofs, and advanced safety features ensure that both driver and passengers enjoy every mile.

Should You Choose Rear-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive?

Your choice between RWD and AWD will come down to personal priorities:

• Rear-Wheel Drive is ideal if maximum range is your top priority. With an EPA-estimated 317 miles, it gives you the most distance between charges.
  
• All-Wheel Drive offers added traction and stability in rain, snow, and mixed road conditions while still delivering a strong 303-mile range.
  
• OPTIQ-V blends performance with respectable EV range for drivers who want a sportier driving experience.
  

All configurations provide strong capability for everyday use and longer trips, making the OPTIQ a great choice for those looking for a new electric SUV.

Driving at night brings added challenges, especially on poorly lit roads or outside the city. Cadillac Night Vision is designed to give drivers more awareness beyond what headlights alone can provide. Using a thermal imaging camera mounted at the front of the vehicle, the system detects heat signatures from pedestrians, animals, and other objects ahead of the vehicle.

That information is displayed directly on the driver information screen or head-up display, helping highlight potential hazards earlier and giving you more time to react. If the system detects a pedestrian or large animal near your path, it alerts the driver before the object enters headlight range. For drivers who frequently travel at night or on darker roads, this can add an extra layer of confidence behind the wheel.

Cadillac Models Available with Night Vision

Night Vision is offered on select Cadillac models, depending on trim level and configuration. Current vehicles that may include this technology are the Cadillac Escalade, Escalade IQ, XT6, and VISTIQ. Availability can vary by model year and package, so we always recommend reviewing vehicle details or speaking with our team to confirm whether Night Vision is included.

Benefits of Thermal Night Vision

Night Vision offers several practical safety advantages, especially for drivers who frequently travel after dark or in low-light areas:

• Extended visibility beyond headlight reach. Night Vision can detect heat-signature objects well before they enter the range of your headlights — giving you more time to react.
  
• Hazard detection for pedestrians and animals. The thermal imaging helps highlight people or large animals that may be walking across or along the road, especially in rural or poorly lit areas.
  
• Enhanced driver awareness at night. With Night Vision active, you’re not just relying on what light reveals, you’re adding an extra layer of awareness that can increase confidence when driving after dark.
  

For Cadillac drivers who often travel highways at night or navigate through rural areas, Night Vision can be a meaningful safety upgrade.

Understanding the Limitations

Night Vision is designed to assist, not replace, the driver. Because it relies on heat detection, it may not identify cold or non-heat-producing objects and can be less effective in certain weather conditions. Staying alert and using proper driving habits is still essential, even when the system is active.

Is Cadillac Night Vision Right for You?

If driving after dark is common in your routine, especially in areas with limited lighting, Night Vision is worth considering when shopping for your next Cadillac. Our team is happy to walk you through available models, explain how the system works, and help you decide if it fits your driving needs.

Visit us to explore Cadillac models equipped with Night Vision and experience how this technology works in person. We’re here to help you find the Cadillac that offers the safety, technology, and confidence you’re looking for.

Learn more at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City

Cadillac’s Night Vision is a smart example of how technology can enhance driver awareness and safety. By translating heat signatures into visible thermal images, Night Vision helps drivers detect otherwise hidden hazards well beyond the reach of traditional headlights.

For those who value extra peace of mind during night drives, especially in less-lit environments, Night Vision can be a meaningful investment. If you’re considering a Cadillac with this available feature such as the Escalade, Escalade IQ, or VISTIQ, it’s worth exploring in person to see how it works and what added benefits it offers for your driving lifestyle.

Shopping for a luxury vehicle doesn’t have to mean choosing between peace of mind and price. With a Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac, you get the best of both worlds, the confidence of a thoroughly inspected vehicle backed by Cadillac, and the value that comes with buying a pre-owned vehicle. If you’re shopping for a luxury vehicle in Kansas City, here’s why a Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac at Cable Dahmer Cadillac is a great choice. 

What Does “Certified Pre-Owned” Mean?

Not all used vehicles are the same. A Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac is a vehicle that meets Cadillac’s strict standards for quality, reliability, and condition. Each model must:

• A vehicle must pass a 172‑point inspection covering mechanical, safety, and appearance benchmarks. 
• Includes vehicle history report 
• All scheduled maintenance must have been performed
• Any open safety recalls must be completed before the vehicle is listed as Certified Pre-Owned. 

Cadillac requires that only vehicles meeting these standards may carry the CPO badge.

You can trust that our CPO vehicles are high-quality Cadillac vehicles that have been thoroughly inspected and tested for quality. 

Coverage That Goes the Extra Mile

One of the biggest advantages of buying a Cadillac CPO vehicle is the warranty protection. With a Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac, the original warranty continues with a certified purchase. After the original bumper-to-bumper limited warranty expires, your 1-year unlimited mile certified pre-owned limited warranty activates, giving you up to 5 years of coverage.*

Added Perks of Cadillac CPO

It’s more than just coverage. Certified Pre-Owned Cadillacs also come with:

• A 3-month trial of SiriusXM® satellite radio
• Courtesy Transportation during your warranty coverage period if your Cadillac requires warranty repairs.
• Backing from a Certified Cadillac dealer
• Confidence knowing the vehicle has passed Cadillac standards and includes additional coverage

Why Choose CPO Over Used?

A Cadillac CPO vehicle is a smart option for drivers who want a pre-owned luxury car, without the risks of a typical used car. You still get a high-end driving experience with added protection, lower ownership costs, and a strong resale value.

Contact Us at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City

Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac gives you luxury, peace of mind, and unbeatable value, all backed by the Cadillac name. Skip the risk of a typical used car and discover why more Kansas City drivers are choosing Cadillac CPO at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City.

The ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ offers a new tax deduction for car buyers who finance their vehicle purchase. We’ll explain how the auto loan interest deduction works, who is eligible, why you should act now on electric vehicles, and how Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City can help you save.

Understanding the Auto Loan Interest Deduction

Under this new legislation, qualifying taxpayers may deduct up to $10,000 in auto loan interest each year. This deduction is “above-the-line,” which means you can claim it whether you take the standard deduction or itemize. By lowering your adjusted gross income, this benefit can reduce your tax bill and free up cash for other needs.

Auto loan interest has long been treated as a personal expense with no tax break. Now, financing a new vehicle may come with a sizable tax benefit. For example, if you finance a $40,000 Cadillac SUV at 5 percent interest over five years, you might pay more than $5,000 in total interest. With the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’, you could deduct your interest paid. Even if your interest charges do not reach $10,000 in one year, you still claim the amount you paid.

Who Qualifies

To take advantage of this deduction, the vehicle and purchaser must meet all of the following criteria:

• Vehicle final assembly is in the U.S.
• Vehicle must be new
• Vehicle is financed through a standard and secured loan
• Vehicle must be for personal-use; commercial vehicles and leases do not qualify.
• Modified adjusted gross income must be below: $100,000 for single filers and $200,000 for joint filers. For every $1,000 of income over these limits, your deduction reduces by $200.
• Must purchase between the beginning of 2025 and the end of 2028.
  

If you meet these conditions, you can claim this deduction on your tax return. 

How to Claim the Interest Deduction on Your Taxes

1. Gather your documents. Keep Form 1098 and annual loan statements showing the interest you paid.
   
2. Fill out Schedule 1. Enter the deductible interest on the line for other adjustments.
   
3. File your return. Use tax software or a preparer that supports above-the-line deductions. You do not need to itemize to claim this benefit.
   

With clear records and the right forms, claiming the deduction is straightforward. Our finance team at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City can even estimate your annual interest deduction so you know what to expect before you buy.

Electric Vehicle Incentives Are Ending This September

If you are considering an electric vehicle, the $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles expires on September 30, 2025. After that date, no further federal rebate will be available. In addition, some state level rebates and incentives may phase out at different times, so check your local rules. 

Models like the Cadillac Lyriq and other plug-in vehicles are still currently eligible. Buying before the deadline locks in the full $7,500 credit for qualifying customers. If you lease, remember leases do not qualify for the auto loan interest deduction, but may still receive a portion of the EV credit as of now. Contact us if you have questions about specific vehicle eligibility.

Why Buy from Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City

Buying from Cable Dahmer Cadillac lets you combine the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ interest deduction with our dealership advantages:

• Wide selection of new and used cars from Cadillac and more
  
• Competitive pricing and an easy sales process
  
• 5-Year Unlimited Mile Powertrain Warranty on new vehicles
  
• 5-Year 100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty on select used cars
  
• Flexible financing options
  
• Certified Cadillac Service and Parts departments
  
• Free Pick-Up and Delivery with Cable Dahmer Connect for Service Appointments
  

When you visit Cable Dahmer Cadillac, our finance team can estimate your annual interest deduction and walk you through the details. We will help you structure a loan that fits your budget for your next vehicle purchase.

Next Steps

To take full advantage of these savings, follow these steps:

1. If you plan to buy an EV, purchase before September 30, 2025, to secure the $7,500 credit.
   
2. Finance your new vehicle at Cable Dahmer Cadillac to qualify for up to $10,000 in deductible interest.
   
3. Consult your tax preparer or use software that supports above-the-line deductions.
   
4. Explore our latest Cadillac offers online or in person to find the right model for your needs and budget.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of driving a luxury vehicle powered by a robust V8 engine. At Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City, we share that passion. So, for 2025, which Cadillac models still come equipped with the power and performance of a V8? Let’s explore the latest Cadillac lineup featuring V8 engines.

What is a V8 Engine?

A V8 engine contains eight cylinders arranged in two banks of four, delivering a unique combination of power, smoothness, and performance. Since its invention in the early 1900s, the V8 has been a hallmark of performance vehicles, and Cadillac continues to offer this engine option in select models.

2025 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade-V

The iconic 2025 Cadillac Escalade remains a benchmark in luxury SUVs, equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This engine balances power with advanced cylinder deactivation technology for improved fuel efficiency.

For those seeking even more exhilarating performance, the 2025 Escalade-V takes it to the next level with a hand-built supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering a staggering 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and advanced AWD, the Escalade-V accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just about 4.3 seconds, offering race-inspired performance in a full-size luxury SUV. It also features magnetic ride control, Brembo brakes, and exclusive design accents that underscore its V-Series pedigree.

2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing continues to dominate the luxury sports sedan segment with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. This model offers a choice between a thrilling 6-speed manual transmission or a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic. With launch control, magnetic ride control suspension, Brembo performance brakes, and a 33-inch advanced LED display with Google built-in, the CT5-V Blackwing blends cutting-edge technology with raw power.

Performance is explosive, with a 0-60 mph time of just 3.6 seconds in manual form and even quicker with the automatic. The CT5-V Blackwing remains one of the few remaining V8-powered luxury sedans offering a manual transmission, making it a standout for enthusiasts.
