It may feel like the fifth-gen Cadillac Escalade hit the market not long ago, but the truth is that it is some three and a half years old already. During this time, GM's premium car marque has expanded the family with the ESV, V, and the all-electric IQ that has nothing in common with the ICE-powered versions, save for the Cadillac nameplate, as it uses the same nuts and bolts as the GMC Hummer EV.
Like its predecessors, the latest Cadillac Escalade is a hit among certain tuners. But while some mostly focus on improving its performance, like Hennessey, others feel like it deserves a sportier styling. Larte Design is part of the latter crowd, and they have several such proposals in their portfolio, including the one pictured above, which has just joined the list.
Advertised online by the tuner, it is described as a powerful project, albeit we kind of wished it remained stock, as the carbon fiber add-ons do not necessarily work well on this model. But then again, we wouldn't have covered it if the tuning fairy hadn't paid a visit to it. And it didn't even leave a couple of dollars under the seat in return for taking away its good looks.
Can you tell what's new just by looking at the pictures shared on social media? Why, of course, you can, as it is not hard at all to spot the new grille add-on with its carbon fiber makeover, nor the new chin spoiler that features additional fog lamps towards the sides. Larte Design also left its signature on the hood, which has a wide intake towards the front for a sportier look, and they also decorated the grille with their logo.
Other things that came from the aftermarket world include the fender add-ons at the front and rear, an aggressive diffuser that incorporates four exhaust tips, and some new trim on the tailgate. That flashy roof-mounted wing also came from Larte, alongside the door moldings and new mirror casings. The Cadillac Escalade in question rides on 24-inch alloys with a dual-tone look, which fits the styling, as it has a black and gray finish with an orange pinstripe providing some lively contrast.
It appears the tuner hasn't left its mark on the interior, or they would have released some images of it. Still, we cannot be sure of that, and the same goes for the oily bits, too, as the engine could've been modified, not necessarily by Larte Design, but perhaps by a different tuning company. But we're just babbling about it with no conclusion whatsoever, so we'd better let you check it out in the photo gallery above and move on to the next story.
