The Cadillac Escalade is GM's flagship full-size luxury SUV — the fifth-generation Escalade launched 2020 on the GM T1XX body-on-frame platform shared with the Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban and GMC Yukon, but with a comprehensively unique Cadillac front and rear, a Cadillac-only cabin (curved 38" OLED display across the dashboard) and Cadillac-tuned Magnetic Ride Control with optional Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. The 2024 mid-cycle refresh brought a new vertical-slat front grille treatment, restyled LED matrix headlight signature, an upgraded 55" curved OLED display (replacing the 38" unit), Super Cruise hands-free driving across over 750,000 km of mapped roads, an expanded driver-assistance suite, and chassis recalibration. Powertrain options across the refresh range run from the 3.0 L Duramax LM2 turbo-diesel inline-six (277 hp / 624 Nm) to the volume-leading 6.2 L L87 small-block V8 (420 hp / 624 Nm); both ship with the 10L80 / 10L90 ten-speed automatic, rear-wheel-drive standard or 4WD optional, and Magnetic Ride Control as standard.
The Larte Esthete is Larte Design's flagship body-kit programme for the refreshed Escalade — a coherent aero schedule covering bumpers, bonnet, skirts and rear, calibrated to the 2024+ refresh's restyled grille and new lower-bumper geometry. Sister Larte Cadillac programme: Larte for the Escalade-V V-ESV. The full Larte Design collection sits alongside our Cadillac body-kit catalogue and the wider body kits range.

The Esthete schedule is calibrated to the 2024+ refresh's vertical-slat front grille and the revised lower-bumper architecture. The pre-refresh 2021–2023 fifth-generation Escalade is served by a separate Larte programme on the original front-bumper geometry. Esthete supports both the standard wheelbase (Escalade) and the extended-length variant (Escalade ESV) — bumper architecture is shared between the two, side-skirt length is variant-specific.
Engineered around the 2024+ refresh fifth-generation Escalade and Escalade ESV. Pre-refresh 2021–2023 fifth-gen Escalades are served by the original Esthete schedule on the pre-refresh front-bumper geometry. The high-performance Escalade-V is served by a dedicated programme — see Larte for the Escalade-V V-ESV. Cross-fitment between refresh and pre-refresh is handled through our Custom Body Kit Design & Manufacturing Service.
Refresh Escalade factory wheels run 22" staggered Cadillac-spec. Esthete builds typically step to 24" staggered Larte forged monoblock or three-piece designs — the larger US-style fitment that suits the Escalade's body-on-frame proportions. Browse the full forged-wheel catalogue or specify a one-off through our Custom Forged Wheels Manufacturing service. Typical fitment 295/35 R24 / 325/30 R24 — full clearance for the Magnetic Ride Control suspension travel envelope.

Will the Esthete kit fit the extended-length Escalade ESV?
Yes — bumper architecture is shared between Escalade and Escalade ESV. Side-skirt length is variant-specific and identified at order intake from the donor VIN.
Does the kit interfere with Super Cruise hands-free driving system?
No — the front-bumper attachment is pre-machined for factory radar, Lidar emitters and the front 360-camera array; Super Cruise calibration is preserved.
Is the kit compatible with the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension option?
Yes — the Esthete schedule is body-only and mechanically independent of the suspension hardware. Both Magnetic Ride Control and the optional Air Ride package are fully preserved.
