The fourth-generation Escalade is an entirely new design yet it’s instantly recognizable. Much of the story of Cadillac’s redesigned flagship SUV is in the interior, where new levels of luxury combine with the latest technology.
The 4WD Escalade features a new 6.2L V8 engine that is more powerful and more efficient than previous models. Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension system, is now standard and delivers precisely controlled driving performance.
The exterior features new, more sophisticated surfaces, accented by dramatic light-emitting diode, or LED, lighting.
The interior features cut-and-sewn and wrapped materials, with wood trim options chosen for elegance and authenticity. Seats were engineered to be more comfortable and sculpted in appearance. The new interior is dramatically quieter, too, thanks to a stronger new body structure, new and enhanced acoustic material, and Bose Active Noise Cancellation technology. CUE, Cadillac’s advanced system for connectivity and control, is standard featuring state-of-the-art voice recognition with touch controls. A standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster can be reconfigured with four themes and an available head-up display projects information onto the windshield.
Escalade’s new technologies include safety features to help protect occupants before, during and after a collision, such as front and rear automatic braking. Also new is the segment’s only front seat centre-mounted air bag, which is engineered to provide additional protection to drivers and front passengers in far-side impact crashes, where the affected occupant is on the opposite, non-struck side of the vehicle.
