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.

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.
