Full details will be released in the spring, but audio from teaser videos leave little doubt that there’s a gasoline engine under the hood.

It’s not clear from the sound if it’s the 668 hp supercharged V8 used in the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing sedan, but it will no doubt be more powerful than the 420 hp V8 currently offered in the Escalade.

Cadillac does have plans to introduce an electric Escalade that could go on sale by 2025, but has indicated it will coexist with the internal combustion engine model for several years.

Pricing for the Escalade V-Series hasn’t been hinted at, but the 2022 Escalade Sport starts over $90,000.
