LARGE, AMERICAN LUXURY IN THE 2023 CADILLAC ESCALADE

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade, in its Premium Luxury trim, is presented as the pinnacle of American large luxury SUVs. The reviewer highlights its unique styling, distinguishing it from its GMC origins with a bespoke design. Key features praised include the spacious interior, comfortable ride thanks to the independent rear suspension and adaptive air ride, and the impressive 38-inch OLED screen. The reviewer also commends the advanced technology like night vision and the AKG sound system. However, the V8 engine's thirst for fuel, achieving only around 13 MPG, is a significant drawback. While the interior is luxurious, the reviewer notes the absence of massaging seats in this particular configuration and points out minor usability issues with the touchscreen interface and the placement of the camera button. Despite the rising competition from Wagoneer and Lincoln, the Escalade remains a strong contender, particularly for those seeking a traditional V8 experience.
