The all-new 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V is the most powerful Escalade (and Cadillac) ever, combining a supercharged V8 engine and more aggressive styling to the luxury marque’s most iconic vehicle. Now, Cadillac Society is providing a first look at the wheel options available for the high-performance full-size SUV.
In all, the 2023 Cadillac Escalade offers three wheel options from the factory, starting with the 22-inch 18-spoke alloy wheels with the After Midnight finish and Laser Etching (production code SMM). These wheels, which are standard on the Escalade-V, differer in design and spoke pattern from the wheels offered on “regular” Escalades models, as they carry the high-performance theme right down to the pavement, while the black finish perfectly complements the darker exterior trim accents found on the Cadillac Escalade-V.
From here, the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V offers two other 22-inch wheel options. The first are the 22-inch Forged Multi-Spoke alloy wheels finished in Satin Graphite with Laser Etching. Besides having a different finish that’s more gray (gunmetal) than the After Midnight wheels mentioned above, they also have a more intricate multi-spoke setup, making them more eye-catching than the standard wheels.
The last option is the 22-inch Forged Multi-Spoke Polished alloy wheel with Dark Android finish and Laser Etching. They feature the same spoke arrangement as the Satin Graphite units, but have a dual-color finish of silver and black.
As a reminder, the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V is powered by the supercharged 6.2L V8 engine (production code LT4). Under the hood of the performance-oriented luxury SUV, that eight-cylinder is capable of a whopping 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque. The blown eight bolts to Cadillac’s 10-speed automatic transmission, throwing power to all four wheels. The luxury marque estimates that this configuration will enable the Escalade-V to gallop from zero to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.
