All models will be left-hand drive.
Models open for ordering include the famous Cadillac Escalade (pictured above) which is priced from £149,950 for a 6.2-litre V8 version producing 420PS (and returning 17mpg).
The 682PS Cadillac Escalade-V, with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8, does 14mpg and costs from £199,950.

Other models on offer include the Chevrolet Silverado pickup (from £66,000 plus VAT), Chevrolet Tahoe SUV (from £96,000) and the GMC Yukon (pictured above, priced from £110,000).

Each model will come with a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, which even offers a two further years’ cover as an optional extra. Finance options will be available too.
Customers can even commission a bespoke build if they want to go one further than purchasing through available stock.
“For the first time, buyers in the UK can view vehicles… with warranty, finance, UK homologation and nationwide servicing." says founder and CEO Clive Sutton.

❓ Buying an American import in the UK: Your Questions Answered
Is the Cadillac Escalade available in right-hand drive (RHD) in the UK?
No. All models offered by GM Speciality Vehicles (GMSV), including the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, and Chevrolet Silverado, are Left-Hand Drive (LHD) only. While these vehicles are fully UK-homologated and legal for road use, General Motors does not currently produce a right-hand drive version for the UK market.
Is it legal to drive a left-hand drive Cadillac in the UK?
Yes, it is perfectly legal. However, you should be aware of a few practicalities:
- Visibility: Overtaking on single-carriageway roads is more challenging as your view of oncoming traffic is restricted.
- Tolls & car parks: You will be on the wrong side for ticket machines and toll booths if you don't have a passenger.
- Insurance: Some insurers charge a small premium for LHD vehicles, though the official nature of the GMSV launch should help keep costs competitive.
Does the Cadillac Escalade come with a UK warranty?
Yes. Unlike grey market imports, vehicles purchased through GMSV or Clive Sutton come with a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty and nationwide servicing. This provides the same level of protection you would expect from a UK-market car.
