The 2024 Cadillac Escalade will deliver a midcycle refresh to the popular luxury SUV, and Cadillac Society has kept a close eye on prototypes to catch a glimpse of what’s in store. One of these prototypes – the extended-length Escalade ESV – featured an interior draped in heavy camo, signaling that major changes to the cockpit are on the way. Now, sources familiar with the matter tell us that the 2024 Escalade will feature an all-new coast-to-coast (or pillar-to-pillar) display panel similar to that of the Cadillac Celestiq ultra-luxury electric sedan.

That means that the 2024 Cadillac Escalade will ditch the current model’s 38-inch OLED display, which was introduced for the luxury SUV’s 2021 model year. Instead, the full-width panel of the 2024 Escalade will run from the driver’s side A-pillar to the passenger-side A-pillar, incorporating the digital instrument cluster and the vehicle’s center infotainment system, while also providing the front passenger with a dedicated screen space. The setup will resemble the coast-to-coast 55-inch display found in the Celestiq, which shows the gauge cluster and center infotainment system display before spanning into the front passenger’s side.

As of this writing, precise details regarding the large display panel in the 2024 Cadillac Escalade are slim. However, it’s safe to assume that it will closely take after that of the Celestiq in terms of specs. As for the ultra-luxury sedan, its interior display is touted as being the largest in its competitive segment, boasting two separate screens placed behind a single pane of glass. The crisp 8K display relays important vehicle information to the driver, while the passenger’s side allows occupants to play media, use the internet and connect their smartphones. The Celestiq’s massive panel even features Digital Blinds Active Privacy technology, which obscures the passenger’s side of the screen from the driver while in use.
Beyond the screen, the 2024 Cadillac Escalade will feature a restyled front and rear fascias and a set of optional 24 inch wheels. Additionally, the full-size luxury SUV will gain the Duramax 3.0L I6 turbodiesel engine (production code LZ0) to replace the diesel engine (production code LM2) offered for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 model years.
We expect to find out more about the refreshed Escalade soon, as the refreshed Escalade is slated to enter production in just a few months, so be sure to subscribe to Cadillac Society for the latest Cadillac Escalade news and around-the-clock Cadillac news coverage.

Won’t be long before there will be laws against wide screen displays. Like cell phones, they can be a huge distraction
