Rezvani Arsenal: A Minimalist Transformation of the Cadillac Escalade

Rezvani unveils the Arsenal, a minimalist take on the Cadillac Escalade, featuring edgy design, luxury interior, and optional Military Edition with bulletproof armor and advanced security features.

Say what you will about the Cadillac Escalade, but it’s an unmistakable American icon. However, Rezvani transformed this luxury SUV into a more minimalist, anonymous vehicle called the Arsenal. This was intentional, as the company aimed for a «more minimalist style than the usual extreme designs seen in Rezvani vehicles.» The result is a somewhat generic look with a Ram 1500 TRX-inspired front end. 

The Arsenal features edgy bodywork, a bunker-like greenhouse, a unique liftgate, and 22-inch wheels with 35-inch tires. While the exterior is distinctive, the cabin retains much of the Escalade’s luxurious interior, available in seven- or eight-seat configurations. Interior highlights include heated front- and second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, a tri-zone climate control system, and a curved OLED display consisting of a 7.2-inch driver information center, a 14.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 16.9-inch infotainment system. It also includes a 19-speaker AKG audio system, a wireless smartphone charger, and a panoramic roof. 

Rezvani also offers a Military Edition Package for the Arsenal, adding bulletproof glass and body armor, as well as optional B6-rated composite armor. This package includes a reinforced suspension, electromagnetic pulse protection, run-flat tires, a smoke screen, a pepper spray dispenser, electrified door handles, a thermal night vision system, an intercom, and blinding lights. 

The Arsenal is powered by a standard 420 hp 6.2-liter V8 engine, with an optional 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six and a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 700 hp. Production is limited to 100 units, with pricing starting at $225,000. Rezvani is currently accepting orders with a refundable $500 deposit.
